Bought it! My first MR2... (pics)

Post by Import »

Went to have a look at it tonight, and laid down a deposit to secure the deal!

1995 MR2 Rev3 GTS Turbo Import, in Black, 17" Jade wheels, lowered 40mm, 72k miles, Corbeau CR1 Recaros, Custom dash in titanium (not sure if this is standard), 2x 12" custom sub enclosures behind seats.

It's had a new turbo, new front brakes, new clutch, cambelt recently done.

Just needs tax, and 2 new tyres (altho I'll be replacing all 4 so the widths are correct)

Been advised by Jonno to have 235/40/17s at rear, and 215/40/17s at front.

It currently has 215s at rear, and 205s at front.

Check my garage for a couple of pics, opinions welcome as always!


Cheers

Nice motor mate :thumleft:
I do like black, the interior looks pretty sorted as well

Just wondering what the switches are for on the left hand side of the dash :)

Far left? or far right?

As far as I know, one is for the interior n*ons, and the other is for the "sleepy eye" kit...

lol @ jonno... I'll have a read about that.


Decided against the X1R - and going to go for the D310 instead...

Cheapest I can find is £750 from BassJunkies... is that a good price?

Nice one Danny, just deciding whether to get the lights like yours, or the "low rise quad lights" that some people have...

Thanks for the comments. More pics when I get her home!
