Removing spare wheel from frunk?

Post by Aerotus »

Hi everyone,

I'm thrilled to be a new MR2 mk3 owner and this is all new to me.

I was wondering how many of you drive without the spare tyre and use the frunk purely for storage? Do you notice a difference in handling when the frunk is empty vs with the spare wheel? Is it better or worse?

Did you also remove the alarm unit in the frunk as I can see that getting damaged by keeping shopping etc in the frunk.

I will only be driving it locally so will keep the spare wheel at home which could be retrievable in a pinch.

Aero

I think you may feel handling differences if you remove it but have never done it myself so don't know for sure :( apparently some people turn the wheel upside down so that you can store things in the middle of the wheel?
