History:

New clutch fitted by GTSChris in August 2009.
NGK Cold Grade High Performance spark plugs fitted by GTSChris in September 2009.
Another new engine fitted by GTSChris in March 2010 after some terrible luck and a faulty timing belt letting go.
Brand new Cambelt fitted by GTSChris in March 2010 when the engine was replaced and all the newest parts mentioned above transferred across.

As detailed above, all the major mechanical work which this car has needed has been carried out by GTSChris during my ownership including the most recent service. Chris is not only a sound lad but he is widely respected in the MR2 community and considered one of the best MR2 specialists in the country. For the second engine replacement mentioned above, Chris not only shouldered most of the cost but also helped me out a lot to get the car turned around in a matter of weeks. This was despite the fact the engine failure was not his fault but, as it wasn’t my fault either, he felt a responsibility to help me out which was greatly appreciated.

Chris only uses genuine Toyota parts and recommended fluids so the car is in top condition. No leaks, no smoking, no oil or coolant loss. Engine returned 35+ mpg on a recent run to Manchester and I regularly see 24 mpg for my commute to work (a mixture of quick roads and stop start city driving).

Bad Points:

The stereo isn’t the best and could really do with replacing.
Minor blemish/grey spot on the rear bumper when looked at closely.
Following the engine replacement the A/C system was bled so this needs to be re-gassed. I will be doing this myself when I get time or at the very least before the car is sold. *EDIT A/C Re-gassed and cleansed, now colder than ever plus clean and fresh smelling*
*EDIT - minor scuffs on the front splitter*
*EDIT - The usual wear on the drivers seat support but not ripped or torn - see pics*
*EDIT - Minor curb damage on the alloys*

Ramblings:

I think this really is a lovely example, good clean condition inside and out, car working well and feels solid all round. GTSChris commented the condition of the car underneath is superb when he carried out the engine builds. I have looked after this car and loved every minute of it which is why it has been properly maintained during my ownership. I haven’t thrashed the car or taken it on any track days. The car is running standard boost at the minute although I have an MBC ready to fit which I may do before sale but if not I will include the MBC in the price. The car is ready to drive away and shouldn’t require any routine work for some time given the recent service, new parts, new clutch, cambelt change and the fact the tax and MOT aren’t due until the end of the year/early next year.

Price:

£3,800 *edit*

This includes the Momo GTR alloys pictured on the car and I will throw in the original rev 3 alloys, or I am willing to knock a few hundred quid off and put the original rev 3 alloys back on the car and keep the Momo‘s myself.

That’s all I can think of for now, please feel free to ask any questions. I will try to get some more pics up of the inside of the car shortly. Thanks.

pin clean, good luck with the sale its worth every penny.

[mr2intoon]

Thanks 3S, much appreciated!

Quick update, I have had the A/C re-gassed and they did an antibacterial cleanse at the same time so its now ice cold and fresh smelling too!

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions...

A bit offtopic perhaps, but:

was the previous engine a build one?

Because I was under the impression a broken timing belt would do no harm due to the non interference engineering.

Another quick update. I have had a few PMs on the engine used as the replacement so after speaking to GTSChris today he confirmed it was from a rev3 donor car which had suffered light front end damage. The mileage was approx 50k miles and after fitting it he carried out a compression test with the following results:

1 = 158
2 = 160
3 = 160
4 = 162

so a very healthy return.

In terms of the non-interference Ren0W it was actually a straight rev4 swap which went in and the fact the chewed belt caused the engine to break completely suprised Chris as well but it is not the first time he has seen it on a Turbo engine (altho very rare).
It begs the question is the UK unit non-interference but the tubby unit not? For another topic as you say.

Also got some PMs on the state of the original wheels, please see pics below, as you can see they are in good condition but the tyres are pretty worn...
