    Moog's MRPoo is, therefore, weirdly accurate.

    Ive been waiting so long for you guys to do the MR2, ive owned one for over a decade and love the thing. My kids love it too, even gave it its name "Beep". There is a wealth of information on the MR2oc and IMOC forums, like the importance of a staggered tyre setup, you can have matching wheels but stagger the tyre size as it was designed to have and benefits from having it. Also snap oversteer was only ever an issue with the SW20 REV1 release cars, the suspension geometry was race inspired and the combination of mid engine, precise suspension and motor journalists inexperienced with driving cars of that layout meant a fair amount of bad press for the early cars. it hasnt really shaken the stigma even though REV 2 have geometry changes that negated those issues and as you seem to have a REV3 or later car you shouldnt have those issue at all if alignment is set up to spec. Hope @Mighty Car Mods reads this and all the best for the challange, im on the edge of my seat!!
