N/A Mr2

[adam_ep82]

This is my second mr2. Been so happy with it so far. Picked her up on the 4th of september, Only to realise that the gearbox was leaking

It turned out to be gearbox shaft seals so ordered two from toyota and got them done one evening never to leak again!

Since that its been preety trouble free i ditched the horrible white aerial and was happy with it up untill friday night when my exhaust decided to sheer off from the cat. It was bad timing on the run up to christmas!

Anyway i bit the bullet and purchased a mongoose backbox and decat and had them fitted monday. plans are coilovers (teins preferably) and some advans 8" fronts and 9" rears. Once thats done i will save towards a 3sgte conversion.

Anyway heres a picture of it the day i bought it. Scoop was my own from previous mr2 which i installed the minute i got home. ill get some more pics of it once its clean

[Mike 'MR2' McHugh]

[riot68]

[adam_ep82]

if you say so

Very nice looking motor mate! I've had 3 mk2 mr2's now, love em! Even though i am 6ft 5" and 19st

I'm afraid i'm with you (the owner) on the toms style scoop, i love the look of them, it's each to their own though, i like the car just as much without it, it's about the fun they are to drive after all!

I'll be looking for another tidy black mk2 n/a when my legs are fixed! Probably will keep it fairly basic though, alloys, full exhaust system and induction kit, maybe get it mapped etc... Nothing too costly.

Looks great anyway, enjoy it!

[McWoody]

Nice car bud, looks very tidy
Nice to see another n/a on here
But apart from the car, where the hell is that road in the pic? Looks bloomin amazing!!!!

[adam_ep82]

i was expecting more people to mention that! ye its a private toll road, it circulates a mountain and is a old lombard stage! its great ill try photograph it more when i can some of the twists and turns are awsome!

Yeah, it does look like a fantastic road, i did see it it just didn't register lol! Where abouts in the country is it for when i'm bored oneday?

[adam_ep82]

its the great orme in llandudno, might want visit evo triangle on way if your coming from midlands only 45 mins down road and the roads inbetween are quite good too!

[Shifty6Speed]

Sounds like a plan to me! Yes, it's deffinately on the cards, i won't probably be back on the raod till around late April 2011 but i'm only in Shropshire so it's well worth a good look, i know there are some incredible roads through north wales but the police hate bikers up there and so we were forever getting pulled over!

Probably enjoy it more in the 2!

Cheers for the info anyway fella

small update finally got round to swapping out the sony unit that was in the car with my beloved alpine that ive had for 5 years!

i removed the stereo to find this wiring which i wasnt happy about, i was going to strip the wires back and join them to the orginals and use the active harness lead ive got, however im not sure what state the standard system is in and there are fresh speaker cables plumbed in so the old ones might not even work. the sony unit that was in worked fine so i just soldered on a iso plug for now just incase i decide to take my alpine back out.
Before

After

Also my summer wheels are here they need to be sent off for a refurb and im still in two minds where to send them too, any ideas?


please excuse the poor pictures

[jasongtr]

you'll definately need tyres

[gtinash]

surely tyres are likely to improve the handling, tidy looking motor, well done on the wiring... it was yikes.! before you got to it
