Another new guy (56k warning)

Post by Touge_AW11 »

Hey all, Im part of a few other car clubs under various names, and spotted this one which was more relevant to me than most. I have a 1987 MK1B MR2 which I bought on a whim after failing to secure an S13 200SX I was after, and have to say I love the car immensely. Ive joined here with the intention of finding out more about the MR2 challenge racing series, and other track days, and maybe even joining in at some point. Im 19, and come from 'oop north (Pontefract, not far from Leeds). I fabble in photography/image editing from time to time too, so if anyone would like pictures taking, feel free to ask.

Ive had the car for a couple of months so far, and havent spent a vast amount of money on her as yet (aside from replacing an alternator). She currently has a full twin exhaust system, plus a K&N induction which sits comfortably in the boot. She also has some S-Line alloy wheels (15") which are soon to be replaced by some Rota GT3s, so that I can keep the S-Lines for potential track days. (What can I say, theyre cheap :mrgreen: )

Anyway, Ive rabbited on for long enough, heres the interesting bits:

Shes still very much a work in progress at the minute, and I have several things restoration-wise to do before I begin to tinker with performance. I have more pics if anyones interested with a friends Del Sol, plus (dirty) engine pics.

Hope to talk in more depth with some of you soon. :thumleft:

like the colour, it must be a non-standard colour by the looks of it.

Thanks for all the welcomes. :)

Youre right, the car has been re-sprayed from white. Although I havent seen any UK cars this colour, I have seen a few USDM cars with the same paint.

Im Garrett_T25 on the MR2OC by the way, so some people may have seen the car before. :mrgreen:
