Hate the whole 'will randomly swap ends because lol snap oversteer'. Unless you're pushing the limits (especially in wet) and have poor equipment, this will never happen to you.

I've never had it happen to me. The only times I have ever got close to spinning or got sideways was lift off oversteer, any car can have that or just too much power and that was on wet grass on an Autocross. The other time was when I got compression lock up when changing down gears in a corner on cold tyres. However I do have the later model subframe so more tame than what the car originally had.

They should have fact checked a little. That SW20 has a 1MZ. The Evora and Evora 400 use the 2GR-FE and 2GR-FZE respectively. The standard 2GR would make more power than that supercharged 1MZ. LOL @ 300hp.

Wonder if we had an MR2 Muster in NZ how many we would get?

The really cool thing is all the proceeds from this Bear Mountain Meet go to charity

Prime has been around for quite some time. One of the top SW20 shops out there. They've been doing GEN4 3SGTE swaps for years.
