1989 Toyota Mr2 T-Bar. The motor has been swapped out for a JDM 1995 Corolla BZ-R Silvertop 20 Valve (160hp, ITB’s, 8400 rpm redline, 68 kilometers on motor when purchased in December). The Motor ran 190psi across all cylinders, pulls very strong with no leaks. The exhaust is a Brand new MagnaFlow 2.5 custom unit and just passed emissions (MagnaFlow high flow cat (has test pipe on now)/ muffler. not even 2 months old). The Transmission is a brand new C-52 unit, with fresh Redline gear oil (no grinds/shifts smooth). The car has almost every seal, gasket, filter, pump and bearing replaced and is Very reliable. The car gets on average 27city-35hwy mpg and with only an 8gal tank never costs more then $25 to fill up (premium). The car was originally an all out Auto x/weekend car which ran in E-Stock national competitions, so it was already equipped with a full 6pt Kirk Roll Cage (SCCA Legal), Does not have A/C or radio “installed”. Though all the A/C lines and condenser are still in place and the compressor will come with the car if you so choose to install it. As well as the stock radio harness is in place and the stock tape deck is included for installation as well. The car has a Brand new set of Tires (less then 2k miles on them) on Gloss Black Miata Hollow Spoke wheels ( All are painted now, 10lbs). It has a Suspension Techniques Front sway bar/sport Springs, and Brand new Competition Clutch stage 1 Clutch that has less then 1k miles on it. I’m hesitant on selling the car after all the money and time I’ve put into it, but I need something more economical with a back seat. And more cargo room

Good: Brand New
-JDM 1995 20 valve 4age (68,000 kilometers when purchased)
-Rear wheel bearings/spindles/hubs/passenger side axle
-255 Bosch Fuel Pump, Feed/return lines and Filter
-oil filter sandwich plate, valve cover gasket, cam seals, crank seal, oil pan re-RTV’d
-water outlet pipe gasket, all new coolant hoses, radiator cap, coolant temp sensor
-Competition Clutch stage 1 Clutch/ Pressure plate, throw out bearing, BZ-R BT Flywheel
-Master/slave clutch cylinder, brass shifter bushings, OEM shift cables
-2.5 Magnaflow muffler/cat, Blacktop header (theta plates) and modified B-pipe
-Header gasket, b-pipe bolts
-Igniter, cap, rotor, spark plugs
-Porterfield brake pads (Fronts), OEM rotors/OEM pads Rear
-KBox T-Top Eccentric Guides
-Tires on Black Miata Hollow Spoke wheels (all are painted now, unlike pictures show)

Comes with:
-Spare transmission (needs 2nd gear synchro)
-Spare 16 Valve Head (bare but in perfect shape)
-87 Rear spindle/hub.wheel bearing.
-Spare Accel Coil pack
-A/C Compressor
-car cover
-brackets, pullies, stock interior pieces, 16 Valve ECU, and much more………


Bad:
-No A/C. But all required working parts come with car
-No radio, But original comes with car (may install a new radio and modify price)
-Tear in driver’s seat. A suitable racing seat would mount right in and look great
-Worn Steering rack bushing/or left tie rod bushing which sqeeks, but doesnt hinder performance

Asking $2700 obo. Call or PM 678 -516 -6777 if you’re interested. now possibly interested in Trades for Nice Honda or E30 BMW

Thanks man :D , i hope it sells soon...otherwise i'm kinda forced to keep it till winter. Well the stock 16 valve motor dyno's right at 98-100whp. this Silvertop 20 Valve with Blacktop cams/header and full 2.5" exhaust should net about ~135-140whp...so about 170-175 to the crank. Believe me its got spunk

lol...No, its going as one package. It was a whole lot of work getting it in there and running as well as it does...no way i'm undoing all that. It came from Best Japanese, where they compression tested it and started it before it was sold. If the car doesnt sell i'll just keep it, i wasnt really looking forward to getting rid of it anyway.

08-17-2007, 10:26 AM
I'd buy it. BUT, I got school to pay for. If its still for sale in bout 3 months, I'll grab it. THEN, I'll compare the era's of cars like I want to. CRX vs. MR2. OOOOOO

08-17-2007, 10:34 AM
And to the prospective buyer; that little MR2 is in great running order. Danny himself, let alone the other "roommates" are very good at the work performed on their cars. Mines under constuction anyway. That POS CRX I bought from JhJams. So I would assume that his MR2 is tip-top. I'd buy it myself, but u know... broke cuz of all my repairs. :blah: So yea, pick it up if u'd like a fast loud mid-engined car. It'd be worth it. :goodjob:

LOL thanks man, we'll have that rex ready for your road trip this weekend. It will be like a new car with that new mastercylinder.

I finally got around to putting all the new parts i had laying around for the duece in. So it now has a new TPS, and a new Alternator. The TPS helped it pick up a couple MPG and the idle is much smoother with the BT cams. I'm honestly wondering why im selling it.....if i dont get any solid buyers soon i'll probably keep it, cut the cage out, put the A/C back in and make a nice DD out of it.

Sure does, you can use any N/A MR2 auto Tranny. Actually it would be easier to do a Man->auto swap then the other way around. the trannys can be found for DEAD cheap. You can probably even find an automatic silvertop tranny locally from another person doing the swap. mine came with one as well as an Auto ECU (which works for both auto and 5 speed). I sold the tranny, but they are VERY easy to find and not wanted usually. so you would need a tranny and some linkage and a shop to install/wire it in :goodjob:

Its my DD now lol. I drive it 34 miles round trip to work and back everyday without fault. though not having A/C and our current heat wave isnt so fun. Though everything to install the A/C comes with the car and all it would need would be a recharge and a new belt. actually everything is still hooked up minus the compressor mounted on the engine. i have the bracket and the compressor in a box. the car gets 30+mpg and is great for cruising. The only other complaint i have is its loud. its got a no frills full race 2.5" exhaust. it consists of 4 feet of pipe and a muffler/testpipe. Its Great for openining the top end up and for some nice track runs. So if you were to use another inline muffler along with the existing one (the path many choose) or weld in a cat would make it ALOT more quiet, unless a loud exhaust doesnt bother you then its perfect. I believe if you did it, you would be one of a VERY FEW ppl to actually drive an Auto 20v swapped MR2 :goodjob:

I think im getting old then :lmfao: ...i feel like im melting when i leave my door step. Only reason i never bothered installing the A/C on the 2 is i planned on tracking it, then when i decided to sell the car, and the market i am attempting to sell it in, there was no need to install it if someone else also wanted to buy it as a track worthy car. Lemme know if you're really interested. i'm not looking for anything special really, just something comfortable and more room then the MR2. I dont even care if its Auto.
