These questions have been asked by many buyers time and time again - 'What should I look for when picking up my brand new MR2 Spyder?"  Well, Apricot has provided the checklist she used when she took delivery of her new 2001.

If you are getting ready to take delivery of a new or used Spyder, print out this list to take with you to the dealer.  Sometimes the excitement of a new car will make you forget about the little details like - make sure the tires are not inflated to 50 PSI!  A little more time spent in the showroom might reduce the chance of missing something that you will have to take your beloved friend back to the dealer for.

After mulling the idea of getting an intake vs. the drop in style air filter, I decided to buy the Injen Polished Intake. The install is fairly simple, but the instructions provided were inadequate. The pictures provided were almost just a black blob on the paper. I have written this article to help anyone who wants to install the intake on their own. The install is very easy, and with these instructions, should be a cake walk. On a side note, I think these instructions may be useful to anyone installing ANY aftermarket intake- at least the removal of the stock parts should be the same!

This is another recent hot topic.  The driver's window has auto down, why can't I just replace the passenger window switch with another driver's window switch?  There are several reasons why, and I'm going to tell you about all of them.

The air intake replacements like the AEM, Injen, and Apexi have gotten all the recent attention.  But what about those who choose to retain the stock airbox?  A first look at all four options and some of the differences between them.
