Picked up an MR2...

[Elbow]

So yesterday I picked up a 1st gen MR2. it's an 85, 140,000 miles or so, runs great, drives straight, it should be a fun car.

I found it on CL yesterday morning for $1400 called him and gave him $1200.

EDIT: Pics up.

1g mr2's are horrible looking but good luck.

[Elbow]

I like them.

[punkr6]

pics Simon pics.....

[quickdodge®]

I like them.

Same here. I'd take one over the other generations point blank. Later, QD.

[e30pwr]

pics or shenanigans. lol, sounds like a solid pick up

[HypnoToad]

im very jealous,ive always wanted a MK1 MR2,but when ever im looking for a car none can be found,lol.

GL man.

[Elbow]

Thanks! I posted some pics in the OP. Needs some TLC and paint to be really clean but it's going to be a track toy as usual so it's good enough for me. I'll still touch up the faded trim and such.

[quickdodge®]

Aside from it being red, very cool. Later, QD.

[Ziptied]

Accordion headrests ftw.

[JITB]

i remember when i was little i had a hot wheels of one of these cars and it blew my mind that the engine was in the trunk.. and it opened!! cool cars def.

[SRK420a]

Turbo or non turbo? I'm guessing N/A and good buy either way:cheers:

those are supercharged(4agze) next gen had the 3sgte.

[Elbow]

Yeah it's NA.

[driftyboy]

Cool little cars. This your first Toyota?

[roscoe]

Should be a good track toy. Any immediate plans for it?

[Elbow]

I've had a Camry before but yes for first Toyota I will be modifying.

No immediate plans, hopefully I will get a few suspension upgrades within a month and some wheels/tires. Other then that just the usual track stuff like race seat, harness, roll bar or cage, but nothing like RIGHT NOW it will just all come along.

[alpine_aw11]

You're going to have a lot of fun in that thing. Nice pick up, looks like it's in great shape.

[Machado]

looks small, should be fun on the track! how much powder does it have from the factory?

[5speed]

Awesome, congrats! One of my favorite cars. You just dont see them often and I like that.

[Elbow]

Thanks for the comments. As for power I have no idea what they make stock. lol It's not FAST but it's rev happy and is a blast to drive.

[alpine_aw11]

You're sitting at around 100 hp. They're surprisingly quick for that.

[Elbow]

Yeah it's pretty fun, hopefully I'll do a few tiny bolt ons or something and gain a tad more. I'd love some ITB's on it or something one day.

[scooby_snack]

It's so much better than Porsche's. Not quite fucking with that vtec yet though!

[Elbow]

I may hook VTEC up on this. Anything is better than a Porsche. Those stupid German pieces of crap.

[scooby_snack]

I think I have a spare one laying around if you need it. Did you smoke that 944 yet?

[Elbow]

Smoke? I walked it. Literally. How many VTECs? I need at least four for each piston.

[scooby_snack]

I only have the rotary model vtec. You might be able to mod it though if you run Fat 5's.

[Elbow]

I was thinking SI's...I'll see though, is it the 15 1/2 B VTEC cam circle valves or the square ring slappers?

[tiksman]

Congrats on that 85 MR2. I have a teal 86.

[JITB]

im starting to get real jealous of these old school cars.. hopefully i can get in something soon... i want to have fun..:(

[scooby_snack]

I think it's the one from the crx that does NOT do a 17 second 1/4 mile.

[Elbow]

I think it's the one from the crx that does NOT do a 17 second 1/4 mile.

Ah damn the 43 second one?

[scooby_snack]

depends... how much hp/liter did it make?

[Elbow]

It couldn't read HP per liter.

[Ziptied]

Yeah it's pretty fun, hopefully I'll do a few tiny bolt ons or something and gain a tad more. I'd love some ITB's on it or something one day.

I've got a buddy with some sidedraft's and manifold for a 4ag.....

[-EnVus-]

I like these mr2's the black or Silver ones lowered are awesome....

[driftyboy]

Oh ya, and buy these:

Those are hot but I don't want to spend $600 on wheels. lol

[F8d2Blk]

Nice find and excellent price too.

[Elbow]

Thanks!

[AltimaCharlie]

Nice car, i always like those. How tall are you, i've always wondered if i would fit in one. i'm 6"3

[Elbow]

I'm a tad shorter then that I think? I fit in it fine, the steering wheels pretty big but I plan on putting a race seat in it which will sit lower and a smaller wheel. I've owned a Miata and fit fine in those. I believe this is smaller though.

[EP3sAreFun]

boom.

This is always the first car i look for when i'm in the market for a car, but can never find a decent anywhere.

Nice!

I had a MS in my Miata and deleted the AFM and played with a few other things, HUGE upgrade and the motor wasn't even built.

[hadouken]

[Elbow]

Haha nothing, I usually throw tools in cars versus putting them back in the box.

[KodyH]

So yesterday I picked up a 1st gen MR2. it's an 85, 140,000 miles or so, runs great, drives straight, it should be a fun car.

I found it on CL yesterday morning for $1400 called him and gave him $1200.

How about my first born child? :ninja:

[Elbow]

I honestly don't have much of anything. :( lol

Looks like I may need a new head gasket on this thing, which I am sure is a BLAST to do on these. While it's apart though I'll throw some goodies on there I guess.
