Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
Bought MR2 GT-I H Reg 1990 2.0 with 149475 on the clock on 8th November this year. Having done a euro road trip taking in the Nurburgring it has now done 152320

Forged internals at just before 170,000 and running 21psi boost. Still looking good.. A testament to its owner..
Got my M reg n/a 3.5 years ago with 70k on the clock. It now has 145k. It's picked up a few paint chips from gritters over the years but it still looks great after a good polish.
Over this time, it has been completely reliable and still feels as good to drive as it did when I got it. And when I walk back to the car park after a long day at work and see it parked next to newer, faster, more fuel efficient saloons and SUVs, my heart still skips a beat.. which is then quickly replaced with a warm glow.
Book value-wise, I think it is worth about £800. If the bailiffs ever come round to my house then my '2 is the last thing I will give up - and they will have to fight me for it.
