I bought my MR2 from my boss last year for
£1300 (still have receipt) was grotty on the outside with a faded bonnet, bumper and very taky wheels.Since then I have spent all my free time and money doing her up as she deservers.
I have spent a lot of money doing her up to what I believe is a good looking example.
She comes with 11 months MOT
(sailed through) and 10 months TAX. Has done 128,000 miles and has had 5 previous owners.It has been a very sudden decision to sell this car as I love it to bits and have spent hours working on her and a large amount of money which I rather not think about as I never intended to sell it.
The major mod was swapping the standard 4AGE engine for a 4AGZE engine from an AE92 Corolla which I bought off a senior member of this forum
(The engine was previously owned by Lauren AKA "Track-Queen")The conversion went very well and proved to be solid through MOT standards.
During the conversion the Cam belt was changed, oil, filter, fuel filter, clutch, spark plugs and leads.
I also did a complete coolant flush.The engine runs superbly, starts at the turn, with no over heating issues, strange noises or smoking.
This car is extremely reliable and the engine swap was done alongside a highly qualified mechanic who has done numerous engine conversions for years.The engine has a Fensport oversized crank pulley and completed ABV mod for extra boost.
other than the engine the car has had other upgrades such as:
-MR2 Roadster alloys complete with brand new TOYO'S T1R-Brand new brake pads all round (Redstuff on the front)-Fensport Lowering springs-Custom built stainless steel twin exit exhaust (Similar sound to a Janspeed)-Supercharger rear lights-Brand new front droplinks-New Exedy clutch-New rear brake calipers-New handbrake cables-New radiator-New alternator-New battery-Supercharger engine lid-New MOMO steering wheel-New Apexi boost gaugeBefore:
Now:
I will upload some more detailing pictures as these are the only ones I have on Photobucket or you can send me a message and I can email them.
The car will be sold with a brand new box of Polybushes from SuperPro for the front suspension, braided Goodrige brake lines for the front, several pairs of brake pads for the front and back still in box and a full set of rear wheel arch repair panels for both sides.
The Negative:-As previously said the car will be sold with a full set of rear wheel arch repair panels as they are showing some bubbling. This is not major and they don't all need replacing, but as you can tell I don't do things half heartedly and filler just wouldn't be good enough. This kit cost me £240 and is all you need to buy to replace rusty rear wheel arches, all that needs to be done is find a decent body shop which was next on my list.-Fifth gear judders. It was always done this since I bought it but has NEVER jumped out of gear. Anyone who knows MK1's will tell you that this is the first sign of it doing so. When that happens read Lauren's article on 5th gear pop-out.-Front Bumper, Alloys and engine lid could do with a respray/refurb to get her looking 100%I have been completely honest with this advert and mean it when I say I never wanted to sell this car.
I have just honestly fallen in love with the MK3 Supra. The car has no problems and is my pride and joy, I love the MR2 Community and will miss it, but its time to move on
I am looking to get
£2,000 for her as she is a rare reliable MK1 Supercharged in very solid order. Viewings welcome.Message me if you have any questions or would like to arrange to view the car.
