Picked up an MR2...

**Elbow** · 03-07-2010, 10:37 AM

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.

**HypnoToad** · 03-07-2010, 03:12 PM

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** · 03-07-2010, 04:01 PM

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®** · 03-07-2010, 04:35 PM

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

**Ziptied** · 03-07-2010, 04:36 PM

Accordion headrests ftw.

**JITB** · 03-07-2010, 04:40 PM

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** · 03-07-2010, 05:28 PM

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

**Elbow** · 03-07-2010, 05:34 PM

Yeah it's NA.

**driftyboy** · 03-07-2010, 06:13 PM

Cool little cars. This your first Toyota?

**roscoe** · 03-07-2010, 06:38 PM

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

**Elbow** · 03-07-2010, 06:46 PM

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** · 03-07-2010, 09:38 PM

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

**Machado** · 03-07-2010, 09:46 PM

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

**5speed** · 03-07-2010, 09:54 PM

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

**Elbow** · 03-07-2010, 10:02 PM

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** · 03-07-2010, 10:15 PM

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

**Elbow** · 03-07-2010, 10:20 PM

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** · 03-07-2010, 10:22 PM

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

**Elbow** · 03-07-2010, 10:23 PM

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

**scooby_snack** · 03-07-2010, 10:24 PM

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

**Elbow** · 03-07-2010, 10:25 PM

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

**scooby_snack** · 03-07-2010, 10:28 PM

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

**Elbow** · 03-07-2010, 10:30 PM

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** · 03-07-2010, 10:37 PM

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

**JITB** · 03-07-2010, 10:37 PM

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** · 03-07-2010, 10:39 PM

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** · 03-07-2010, 10:42 PM

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

**Elbow** · 03-07-2010, 10:42 PM

It couldn't read HP per liter.

**-EnVus-** · 03-07-2010, 11:32 PM
