Dunlop SP Sport W-10 tires purchased & mounted at Volvo (Vancouver). I knew my front tires were bald but I didn't realize my rear tires were practically at the tread depth indicators. I went in to fix
a slow leak in both my rear tires but ended up getting a new set of tires. I was already planning to replace the fronts with Dunlop W-10's (or FM901's) but I decided to go for the whole set since they still
had W-10's in 225/45R16's. The W-10 are last years model replaced by the newer FM901, but the FM901's don't come in 225/45. So, I'm again running the same tires all around.

Eibach Sportlines and KYB AGX shocks installed by Comptech Performance. I also got a 4 wheel alignment. Finally, the car looks right. I'm quite satisfied with the reduced fender gap.
Initial measurements indicate 0.8" drop in the front and 1.0" drop in the back (compared with the Tokico springs). Total drop from stock height should be about 1.8" front & rear. The car feels much
tighter, and of course, the ride is firm. It's also a little bouncy but I haven't adjusted the shocks yet as they're still on their softest settings (1/1). The alignment also corrected a steering problem
where my front wheels were not pointing straight. I'm very satisfied with the service I received from Jack Lee and Comptech Performance. They have a clean & professional looking shop.

cold air intake installed.I removed the stock
airbox and installed a modified SRP 90-93 Integra intake. HOLY SMOKES! What a HUGE difference in sound. I read that it would be loud but I was still shocked when I first stepped on the
throttle. I like it! It may be too loud for some people but not me. It sounds normal when cruising at city or highway speeds, but when you accelerate it's a different story! A mod that I
should have done a LONG time ago. I should have bought the HKS PowerFlow back in the early days (around '93 when it was the only intake available for the 2).

Quickshifter installed.I used the instructions posted on mr2.com by Marc Summers as a guide for installation. It took me about an hour and a half to install, but that was taking my time and cleaning everything I
dissassembed. I give it a thumbs up! Shift stroke is about 30% shorter on models between 10/89-12/91. I'm still using my MOMO Race AirLeather shift knob as the TRD knob is a little small for my
tastes. But to do so I had to remove the shift boot retaining ring from the shifter.

shift knob installed.I swapped out my MOMO
SuperAnatomico shift knob for a Race AirLeather. The feel of the leather ball is a very nice change.

aluminum pedal set installed.

Replaced Suspension Techniques anti-sway bars with the OEM bars. I've reinstalled the stock anti-sway bars as the Suspension Technique bars have proven to be much too stiff. Damage to three out of the
four front bar mounts have occurred (basically, the mounts simply ripped out). The difference is noticeable as the car doesn't feel like a go-kart or like a car "on rails" anymore. But, even in stock
suspension trim the MKII MR2's handle very well.

Replaced rear tires with Dunlop SP Sport 8000's. I've held off replacing my rear tires as long as possible, they're practically slicks now. P700Z aren't made in my sizes anymore. So I decided to go
with the Dunlop SP Sport 8000. These directional tires are pretty good but they are much rounder in the shoulder than P700Z's. One feature I liked about the P700Z's were that their shoulders were
practically square.

Suspension Techniques anti-sway bars installed. Stock bars are 19mm front & rear. New bars are 24mm front/22mm rear.
