Post by boomshack »

Hi all,

Time to sell my project rev2 mr2 turbo codename black betty. Long story short i need the money. Its the last thing i want but needs must.

'92 rev 2 turbo tintop in astral black
121k on the clock but changed over from km so actual engine milage is around 105k. Imported in 2005.

11 months MOT

I've had this car since august last year and ive spent a small fortune on bits n bobs for her to get her road worthy. i was intedning of doing some light track day and eventing with her this summer.

Bits i've put on / changed / upgraded.

Blitz shielded air intake
Blitz access ecu - removes fuel cut raises redline raises boost etc.
Apexi AVC-r setup to 1 bar with alternate setting for road use.
Greddy Boost guage
TRD carbon clocks with led
Silicone intake pipe
Silicone vacuum hoses and intercooler joiners
Bailey dump valve fitted but not connected, using the stock recirculating bov as the bailey valve causes her to run rich.
3" Stainless decat downpipe into 3" straight through to 4" resonator
Heat wrapped exhaust
NGK platinum plugs
Magnecor race leads
New Distributor cap
New rotor
New ignition coil
New Driver front caliper
Recon passenger slider
Replacement driver side driveshaft
Replaced brake pads 1000 miles ago.
Recently refurbed 16" alloys in gun metal grey, look good!
near new 225 45 16 toyo t1r at rear
half worn goodyear 215 40 16 on front, very good in the wet!
New ecu temp sensor
Rev 3 rear light conversion with quad light setup and working reverse lights.
Crystal clear front side lights with insanely bright led bulbs.
Crystal smoked toblerone side repeater conversion.
has HID wiring in frunk for shows, i use nightbreakers for normal road use.
interior accented with white surrounds.
Has leather seats and door cards from rev 5 in excellent condition
Genuine Man in Dandism mats!
Touch screen double din stereo linked to Audiobahn door speakers and tweeters with crossover.
Amp to 12" audiobahm sub in custom enclosure and xplod 6x9 behind passenger seat.
D2 carbon gear knob
Brake servo brace
has a clifford alarm, remote fob is wired up for central locking but nothing else yet, has remote start, turbo timer etc in box still.
probably some bits i've missed.

She has her bad parts too that i havent got round too,

Front tie rod bushes are perishing - comes with new poly bushes ready to fit, havent had chance yet.
Undertray at back is loose and cable tied so rattles whislt driving
Paintwork is aged and cracking in places, scratch on front bumper, splitter is cracked, rear quarters both side need re sanding and spraying, rest of body could use a machine polish, rust bubble on drivers door, have a replacement door in same colour to fit.
alternator belt starting to squeak when cold
Power steering disconnected as pump is on fritz, works fine without, better even!.
front wheels need balancing - not been balanced since tyres were new.

will come with some spares,
nearly new radiator - was going to remove air con and probably replace rad while there.
Replacement drivers door - needs to go in a big car or trailer if thats how u collect.
Spare MAF and injectors and intake etc if u want it.
Rest of clifford alarm bits.
bottom control arm poly bushes
anti roll bar poly bushes
tie rod poly bushes
original backbox if u want it.
fiberglass side scoops, need snading and painting.

with a little bit more time this car will be ideal for track days or drag racing etc. Shes a great car to drive and i'll miss that boost!

any questions please ask away.

£2200 ono

I think buyers will want to know 3 additional things...

Where is the car?
What it looks like?
And what you want for it?...
No 2 :(

Can also upload to imgur.com!

edit: also, I would have thought becoming a premium member would let you skip the post count for posting pictures. seems a bit unnecessary !

Hi guys, I know the OP and I think he may be in two minds at the moment as to whether he really wants to sell the car. But I will drop him a text and let him know there's interest for pictures and price on here just in case he hasn't seen your posts yet. As for location I'm sure he won't me saying that's in the Devon, closest city is Exeter.
