[FINALIZED] MARK THORPE'S MODDED MK2 inc NEW ENGINE + LIST OF GOODIES! ***

[mark_a_thorpe]

Welllll the time has come for me to sell my mk2....it's been a hell of a ride, and I don't plan on leaving the mr2 scene any time soon!

So anyways, the car....she's a rev2 NA, registered in December 1993. the engine has 34k on it and was bought from MDKL/SMR (some have had issues with these guys, but my engine has been as strong as it could be since fitted!) all refurbed and the likes. The car itself has done 89k now, but aside from a few chassis/suspension components, literally EVERYTHING on this car is new, or has been replaced within the past 2 years of ownership. I've made a couple of trips down south this year for shows etc, and the car doesn't skip a beat....even on the 500 odd mile drive to JAE!

Those of you that know me will know how I care for my car. No expense has been spared, and there are a few little subtle touches that I feel make it what it is. A damn fine car, and something I'll miss terribly

I'm looking for 2599 ono.

Car is taxed til jan so I will add 6 months.
MOT is due in March, but all I need is to replace the topmount.
As a goodwill gesture, I'll happily renew the MOT

Moving swiftly on....here's the mod list and photos.

Any questions or queries, pm me, email me [[email protected]] or call/text on 07824391897.

Nice car.
I've got a black mk3 MR-S turbo I'd do you a little deal on.
Are you mechanically minded or have some mates who are?
It could do with an engine rebuild or swap as it's a bit clattery...


Thread's here is you ARE interested Mark.

Vaguelly mechanically minded, but nowhere near to that extent I'm afraid! and paying someone to put an engine in is pricey (as per VCs recent swap on the OC).

Out of interest though...what sorta of deals could we be looking at?

[Ryan S]

nice mr2 matey, is that camperdown park???

i've not seen your car about, not many mr2s in Dundee.

[mark_a_thorpe]

Wow! A dundee person! Yes it is camperdown mate! I'm a student here in dundee, usually frequenting the perth road area

student eh???

what you study???

i used to do audio engineering at Perth college was going to go to uni but thought it would be pointless as there is hardly any audio engineering jobs in Scotland and i don't wanna move, i used to have the ARC carwash along at Hawkhill, i had a big silver FTO with ARC graphics all over it and a red RX8, check out my pics you might recognize it.

[mark_a_thorpe]

Ahhh the FTO rings a bell! Couple of years ago?

studying graphic design at dundee DOJ...final year thank god!

yeah that's right check out the pics in my profile, you live in dundee then or just studying here???

[mark_a_thorpe]

Ahhh not the FTO I was thinking of, but nice all the same! Why the ARC graphics?

I'm studying here, but my rents live out past forfar, so vaguelly local anyways

Mind you, I've been at uni for almost 7 full years now, so I'm pretty much a dundonian! You?

7 years at uni?? jesus!!!
i'm starting up a new business teaching drums, hope to be fully operational in a few months, so if you know anyone wanting lessons, give me a shout!!!

[mark_a_thorpe]

Ahhh you owned ARC? Gotcha

Yup, 7 years......I did a stint in Architecture before I started graphic design

I like to dabble!

Drumming eh? I know a fair few drummers! Likely not to your standard mind, but a few all the same! One of my "boys" rents lives at letham actually. Infact, we likely know a few similar people!
