The engine and gearbox in the MR2 is mounted transversely as a unit to the monocoque chassis via 4 engine mounts, in the big rectangular box that is the engine bay. If I remember correctly, it's 2 on the engine and 3 on the gearbox. The engine sits forward of the diff so it gives true mid engined positioning.
Suspension on the MR2 is fully camber/caster/toe adjustable mac struts all round, again mounted directly onto the chassis. I'd love to be able to use them to save costs but I imagine that would be quite a task compared to a double wishbone setup. Has anyone tried converting the roadster to use mac struts in some fashion?
Edit to add in picture shamelessly linked from the MR2 online parts catalogue ran by the owners club. The picture shows the mount locations, 2 on the engine high up near the top right, 3 on gearbox low down on left side.
