The mr2

[solly]

Heres my mr2 the 1st one ive had, not on the road at the moment the spoiler i have is it a rev 2 and i take it the car is a rev 1 its a 90 reg any info would be great.





heres the spoiler i have to be fitted

[john_p_b]

from one new mr2 owner to another, welcome! car looks nice. what's keeping it off the road at the moment then?

[solly]

got it cheap no mot/tax Just got to put it through the mot then i can start modding it

Are these rev 3 alloys

[craig]

The car is a 1990 rev 1 3SFE MR2 with a 2.0 16V engine that is also fitted to a camry

120bhp and 9.5 secs to 60. I had one as my first MR.

Those are rev3 + wheels and will smarten it up quite a bit

nice project

[solly]

the spoiler i have is that rev 2 one/ 3SFE what do that stand for

[craig]

the spoiler i have is that rev 2 one

rev 1 + 2 yeah

I'd not fit that rev1 / rev2 spoiler you have to drill holes in the boot lid and main body and may have aerial issues. Get a rev3, 4 or 5 spoiler and you only need to drill the boot lid and it'll look more like a 1994 - 1998 car rather than a 1989 - 1993 car.

3sfe is the economy engine, 120bhp? oppose the 3sge 158bhp engine.

rev 3 spoiler, most think looks better than rev1 & 2 :-

[craig]

agree with Steve, rev 3 spoiler I'd go for

As said, unless you want to drill more holes in your car ie 11 I think it is for the rev 1 spoiler, including 3 on each wing

Rev 3 has just 6 holes on the boot lid required.

I'll let you decide......

[solly]

how much do the rev 3 spoiler go for and what about rev 3 alloys

Keep it spoilerless mate. If you add a spoiler it's just unnecessary weight and cost and IMO spoilerless is a good look. The white car shown you asked about is rev3 or 4... spoilers changed again for the rev5s. Rev 3s on have the rounder lights you can see and also colour coded spats, sills and splitter.

Welcome to MR ownership mate.

Hello and welcome along

Rev 3 spoiler all the way put up a wanted post in the wanted section and someone might have one for you

unless going all the way stripped and carbon panels, leaving the spoiler on would have minimal effect as opposed to taking it off.....

[HighwayStar]

Yeah but he wouldn't be taking it off would he.... he'd be going to the expense of adding one... Just thinking the money could be spent on other (better) things, besides you know I love 'em spoilerless. Anyway, individual choice is recognised here so whatever...
Either way I'm sure you'll enjoy the car Solly.

[HighwayStar]

Just want to add another thought.... if you want to mod it have you considered lowering it? Only reason I ask is I currently have some 2yr old Fensport springs for a rev1 for sale that give a 30mm drop. Details in the For Sale section if you're interested...

welcome to the club have a look through the garage at other peoples cars and i am sure you will get ideas as to what you want to do with your car nowt wrong with rev 2 rear spoilers anyhoo

[solly]

The mr2 is still off the road fingers crossed will be on the road end of next week i want to start driving it


Its the welding taking the time what started as a couple of small holes has turned into needing new sills

[marc GT Turbo]

it will be worth the wait ! once your jobs have all been done its time to drive and enjoy nothing worse than having a car off road , i understand that, but its best you have the car right or best you can have it until you win the lotterry and buy a trd
