driveline
-90-91 stock wheel 16x8+40mm 225/55/16
-later are the 17/18 with the 245. dont be suprised by getting a 235, this was factory size
-no clutch switch for startup
-6spd different gearing (shorter) on all 6spds.
-95 onwards 4ws removed

the GTO wheels are +46...18x8....(1996)
my 96 GTO has 4WS.

those are pretty bad pix of the door writing and the rear quater panel lights..will see what I can do to get you guys better ones.

In reference to that GTO page, i've never heard of MRs having different turbos?

Also pretty sure the bbs wheels were optional for MRs not standard (all the MRs here have regular wheels and the wheels are in the ACCESSORIES catalogue). Titanium shift knob and hybrid LSD were also optional accessories for both Z16A (4WS) and Z15A (non-4WS), not just MRs.

My 98 GTO had active exhaust.

'95 onwards 4WS removed' is false. ALL Z16A chassis are 4WS as ALL Z15A chassis are non-4WS. Every year GTO had 4WS.

AFAIK power folding mirrors are standard on all years JDM GTO (chime in if you don't have them).
Also wasn't aware that GTO mirrors are heated (been meaning to test them lol)?

My mirrors are not power folding however they are heated. The BBS wheels are options only. MR had standard turbos.

Thanks alot for all the info .. This is great stuff !!! Anyone have an idea what the standard price in japan was for one of these MR or SR cars !!!

I really like the light up GTO badge ..

**MR2** · 03-09-2011, 02:49 PM

no idea on the price

The brake vents were more brake Deflectors...you'd also need custom lower control arms to fit them (or to modify yours)

I'm pretty sure that the MR throttle cable is just a normal GTO throttle cable run HALF WAY AROUND THE ENGINE BAY WTF. you should see it lol.

thanks.
those wheels are from the 98+, must have been swapped on?
i guess only the MR did not have 4ws

the mr did come with 11g's, there was a thread while back in the ausie forum someone showing it, i cant find it for the life of me. maybe someone with a mr can do a quick check for me?

Also pretty sure the bbs wheels were optional for MRs not standard (all the MRs here have regular wheels and the wheels are in the ACCESSORIES catalogue). Titanium shift knob and hybrid LSD were also optional accessories for both Z16A (4WS) and Z15A (non-4WS), not just MRs.

i always thought they came standard and ppl didnt like them so they swapped them out. i do see them on the catalogue as an option. i need clarification on this...again someone with an mr please chime in.
what years were the knob and hybrid lsd optional on? im pretty sure they are only on mr's. any proof?

My 98 GTO had active exhaust.

interesting, so it was 99 they got rid of them.

'95 onwards 4WS removed' is false. ALL Z16A chassis are 4WS as ALL Z15A chassis are non-4WS. Every year GTO had 4WS.

i figured this one. im confused though you say all gto have it yet z15 does not? i thought it came on all of them just not the mr?

AFAIK power folding mirrors are standard on all years JDM GTO (chime in if you don't have them).

im positive on this one, we have got 4 of the first gens here and none of them have power folding. they came later

Also wasn't aware that GTO mirrors are heated (been meaning to test them lol)?

yup all of em do, press the defrost button on the climate control. later years had their own button.

thanks for all the input.

adressed these above.

i need people with MR's to answer, hopefully ones without mods.

this is great guys. keep em coming its greatly appreciated. its difficult to write info about the 2nd gens cause there is only a handful in all of canada so far [cars must be 15yrs old to import] and they dont post up on forums.
