Well here is my newest toy. 1994 Toyota MR2 T-bar. Engine is great, body is ok, exhaust is very blowey, tyres are smooth and the roof has a tiny leak but. I LOVE IT. So set of at miday april 4th for a relatively short 100 miles. At the meeting point i was greeted by this.   Obviously i immediatley took the roof off for the return drive, got 10 miles down the road and decided that my stupid, floppy hair didn't agree with my new motorway speed hair dryer. The roof went back on. Got home, got a hat!!!! and i haven't stopped fettling since. The body work isn't amazing but there doesn't seem to be any rust, there is clear evidence of previous repairs but it cleans up nicely and i've already got a reasonable polish on it.  Shiney shiney! Purely because its japanese i went and found a lovely pink tree. Enjoy! I know i am. Pink blossom + pop up headlights = Success.       |

Lovely to see someone enjoying a '2 for the first time. Had mine 11 years - they really get under your skin (especially with a Turbo engine conversion). I would advise you to sort your wheels out - make sure you have staggered fron / back widths and a 20mm tyre width difference for proper handling. Here is mine so far......    Join the MR2 owners club (www.mr2oc.co.uk) - if you love your MR2 it will make you love it even more! |

Nice colour, what happened to the compact? I've got that now. And it just went through its mot! Did it need much? Went part shopping today, after phoning around all my useless friends i ended up going alone too collect what i shall call a mound of parts.    Who says there not practical. Managed to get everything in and get home without getting stopped.   Took the stupid wheels off and i suprised myself with how smooth the rears where!  Sorry occifer! Fitted the new air filter thing to replace the very rattly air box. Still have the exhaust and cat to fit as what i was told was a small blow is acctually a hole in every section of the exhaust. Here she is now with the appropriate wheels and tyres.    |

100% improvement with the new wheels. One of these is still on my want list, but I can see that if I don't get one soon, they will creep up in value |

Am selling a nice set of Tein coilovers that were meant for mine, but if my mate don't take it at the end of the month am taking a few choice mods of and weighing it in.
I have a nice set of Tein HA with pillow box top mounts and uprated drop links £300, I've never used them but bought them used as there is around £2500 worth of kit when it the lot was new so am selling them for what they cost me.

Some days you just need to take a grinder to an inanimate object, just to make your day a tiny bit better!!

I don't have £300 at the mo, or any plan to lower it, just trying to make it as stock as possible, upgrading broken bits.
