Im Dumbfounded

[Vicious]

which year of the mr2 comes with the odd looking air intake or whatever it is??or how do you get one??

[JekylandHyde]

Are you refering to the "Scoop" that some MR2s have poking above their roof? ... if so, that did not come from the factory. It is an aftermarket body piece.

Do a search online for "Tom's Scoop" ... might be what you are looking for.

[Vicious]

here these are the pics i was looking at...what year is this mr2????? is that the scoop you referred to??
MR2

[JekylandHyde]

Yes, that is the "Tom's Scoop".

It is made for the 1991-1995 MR2s.

[ghetto7o2azn]

that mr2 is a 1993... u can tell because the antenna is on the back right side of the car which was on 93 + models... where as the 91 - 92 had it in the front left pillar and it was at a slant... he has a 94 + tail light conversion.. the only reason i can tell that it is a 93 other than a 94 + is because of the spoiler... it is a three piece factory spoiler... what i mean by that is when you open the trunk, the sides of the spoiler are attacked to the rear fenders, while the middle goes up with the trunk... the 94 + spoiler is one piece

That is incorrect. I have owned 5 1991 MR2s (including Jekyl and Hyde) and all of them have the antenna coming out of the passenger side rear through the spoiler.

[Mr2Xer]

I agree with Jekyl. I have a 91 turbo and it comes out the rear passenger side. And about the scoop, does anyone know how much it actually helps?

[ghetto7o2azn]

then what year did the antenna come out the driver's side pillar... i have only seen 91 - 92 with them never 93 +

[ghetto7o2azn]

ok i looked arround at some mr2 pictures and i think that i figured out that the 91 - 93 N/A's had the antenna on the drivers side pillar... the 91 + turbo mr2's have it in the back passenger side... and im pretty sure it was back there for the N/A 94 + mr2's since i have one

[JekylandHyde]

ghetto7o2azn, I am really not sure where you are coming up with this antenna stuff.

Jekyl is a non-turbo 1991 MR2. I have owned another 91 non-turbo.
All MKIIs have the antenna coming out of the p-side rear 1/4 panel.

The only MR2s I have ever seen that had an antenna coming out of the a-pillar where the very first years 85-87 or so .... even the 88/89 MKIs had them coming out of the p-side rear 1/4 panel.

MKI MR2 with antenna coming from p-side rear:

lets play a game... find the antenna


found it? thats a 91 n/a


how about this one? its a 93 n/a


i think u get the picture... these are all n/a 91 - 93 mr2's

[ghetto7o2azn]

i dont see one here... are u sure ALL of them do?

[JekylandHyde]

Well Ghetto, I guess we can both both can admit that we are wrong

I did some research and it turns out that the MKII had that has that antenna only came on sunroof cars with a base stereo (am/fm ... not even cassette).

I would be willing to wager that those cars also do not have the antenna imbedded in the window.

[ghetto7o2azn]

well i guess that clears things up

[Vicious]

well im for turbo..i love turbo cars..so umm what year would probably be best (in your own opinion) for a turbo mr2
