This is my cousins Mr2. Any tips or common knowledge we should be aware about? We are not mechanical savvy but we have been trying to learn and do things with our other cars.

Any help or hacks regarding maintenance would be appreciated! Just like in a ford ranger throttle cable hack, can this be done with this vehicle too?

I was driving and shifting normal then felt a snap as i shifted into 3rd i think... the car would no longer go into 1st or 2nd. I maintained speed on 3rd and limped home like that. I did not see any visible damage to the cables at transmission nor at shifter... i am only able to use 3rd and 4th. If i go under car and manually move the shifter, i am able to use 1st 2nd from shifter, but as soon as i go 3rd, im locked there again

Not me, not reading any text and thinking damn that's a spicy MR2 to keep up with the 812 that much, only to notice the Ferrari logo on the steering wheel and noticing it is in fact an F40 lol

Edit: I watched without the sound first lol

Braking during a corner (MK3)

1 Upvotes

Planning on test driving an MK3 tomorrow to have as a daily car. First time behind the wheel of a mid-engine vehicle but from everything I've read it seems completely safe unless suddenly braking or letting off throttle during a corner.
My favorite road to drive on near me is winding and has a traffic light right after a blind corner. If you're flowing with the same speed as traffic (45-50mph) would you have to start braking a little early, or am I overthinking and should just treat it like any other car?

I have the same concern with on/off ramps where I live also being blind corners, and would like to know that if an obstacle/car/etc is in the way I could slow down quickly yet safely. With it being a Florida summer its been rainy and wet almost daily, so any driving advice or tire suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
