ive never seen u mate, but good to know that there are other MR2s in the area

The meet is at mascrat manor, just outside warrington, 2nd monday in the month. If u wanna come along, then let me know as i'll probably be going with a couple of my mates. your welcome to join us as its normally a good turn out

Yeah i might just do that, ill have to see what im working.
I dont think ive seen you, but ive seen your cars before, didnt you used to have a silver and blue nova, novadose or something?

stuyw · Post by **stuyw** » Wed Oct 26, 2005 1:27 pm

yeah, let me know mate as there will be a couple of peeps going, one of my mates has a got a black N/A rev2 who will be going as well, so it would look good having 3 MR2's in convoy

. I just hope that it dont rain!!

I used to have a silver nova, with novadose on it, i sold that and got a corsa GSI, which is up for sale still!

The turbo has got to back to the place i got it from as the front strut on passenger side is bottoming out when u go over a pothole and also there is some cover on the driveshaft thats rubbing when u go round a left turn with two up

Hows yours been since u had it? you had any problems? what colour is it??

Have a look on my profile, it should be in the garage!
Had no problems with mine really, ive bought a new thermostat for it but havent had chance to fit it yet.
Its only got 43k miles on the clock, full japanese history with 1 owner from new, and its mint!
Red is the colour, i didnt want another black one as they are a bu88er to keep clean!

stuyw · Post by **stuyw** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 8:44 am

looks nice that mate

. You've done well to get an MR2 with that mileage on it!

your right about black being a mare to keep clean, tell me about it

Hurstie1981 · Post by **Hurstie1981** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 9:30 am

Yeah i did well but i also paid a high price for what i wanted, and it was completely standard too!

My old rev 2 NA t-bar was black, but i swore i would never get another t-bar or a black car, a, for the leaks, and b, for the amount of car cleaning products you need to keep it clean!

I did like the look or Carribean Blue...they look really good in pictures, but in the flesh they just show too many swirl marks, and they are hard to buff out of metalic cars.

stuyw · Post by **stuyw** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 2:03 pm

yeah my mate had a carribian blue one which was a N/A and a T-bar, looked reallt nice when sun was out, but as u say, the swirl marks were all over the place. its probably been to too many car washes lol.

how much u pay for your tubby and where u get it from??

when i was looking for an MR2, i said to myself that i wouldnt get a red one as i have a red corsa n the paint went pink n had to get it resprayed, but the paintwork on yours looks mint

Hurstie1981 · Post by **Hurstie1981** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 3:04 pm

I paid 6.5k for mine, i got it imported through Japenese Direct Imports, i took a few months waiting for the right one in Japan to become available, and then went for it.
I was also looking at steel mist grey, but then this red one came up and was a GT too with low mileage, and a re-spray so i took it!
Im very happy with it, had to change the thermostat yesterday but now is running sweet!!

i think thats the best idea, coz there are so many tubbys for sale, that you can be selective about what you wanna buy. I always feel that paying that little bit extra is alwaya worth it especially if the car is mint

The jap meet is the 14th november mate, if u decide to come down

Hurstie1981 · Post by **Hurstie1981** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 3:13 pm

What time is the meet, its just im away on a course that week, and not sure what time in the evening it finishes!
Where did you get your car from?

stuyw · Post by **stuyw** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 5:26 pm

the meet normally kicks off about 7-30 onwards, goes on till about 9-30/10pm. normally a good turn out as you sometimes get the old jap retro cars turning up as well. last time i went there was an old 280zx nissan

I got my car from Car Equality. They specialise in jap import cars and also Land Rovers!! hopefully after these little problems ive got, the car should be ok <touch wood>, as going to bradford n back costs a bomb in the tubby!

Hurstie1981 · Post by **Hurstie1981** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 8:18 pm

Yeah i know what you mean!
Im very pleased with the fuel consumption of mine though, much better than my old NA auto would you believe!!!
I reakon i could easily get 300 miles out of a tank

stuyw · Post by **stuyw** » Sat Nov 05, 2005 2:43 pm

that is strange

mines not had a full tank yet, but will let u know if it does n see how many miles i get! - 300 miles is pretty good though

Hurstie1981 · Post by **Hurstie1981** » Sat Nov 05, 2005 2:50 pm

Its a shame there are no shell garages near us, i use the BP one up the road, at at the moment the ultimate unleaded is only 96.9, compared to the 101.9 when i first got the tubby!

stuyw · Post by **stuyw** » Mon Nov 07, 2005 8:14 pm

yeah the nearest one is on warrington road in goose green near the motorway. I wonder if the tesco in town is gonna get 99RON, i checked there the other day, but still none for sale

, but will keep checking!

i used the BP one the other day, think its 97RON?. have u ever used octane boosters??

Have u found out if ur gonna be be able to go jap meet next monday??
