Hi all,

Just thought I should make a first post to introduce myself, hope this is the right section. Got a 91 Rev 1 na last week after selling my Impreza Turbo :cry: Always fancied an MR2 and got a bit sick of 18 to 20mpg with the Scooby so decided against a tubby. The car has 67k genuine with just a few niggling faults, most of which I've put right in the past week. Will post a pic when it's worthy of showing off :lol:
Will no doubt be asking stupid questions on here :D

Thanks for the welcome ladies and gents, considering I've 'downgraded' (please don't hate me for that comment =; ) I'm really starting to enjoy the car the more I do to it :lol:
Funny thing is, it's much slower but feels more like a sports car, if that makes sense :-k

Just remembered I hadn't updated this. Had to replace the two rear shocks and both front strut mounts and one of my customers from work gave the car a free machine polish \:D/
Still have a load of poly bushes to fit when I get time.
It looks a bit better than when I bought it but still not finished by a long way :roll: Wished I'd gone for dark 17"s now :?

Hiya mate, rev1's looking nice. You might be regretting the 15's now based on looks but if you'd have fitted the 17's you'd be regretting them based on handling. You've done the right thing.
