It's been almost a year since I bought my MR2 and I love it now more than ever. 
I am currently in the process of replacing the suspension (anyone want to buy 
a slightly used set of shocks, springs etc!). I can't wait to feel the 
improvement! Installing the e/windows and c/lock was a surprisingly straightforward 
task; the main dificulties were making the loom and adjusting the windows. The 
rest really just fell into place. 

Mr.2 doesn't seem as quick as he once was, so the new engine is next on the 
agenda (once the bank account recovers) ......... I'll keep you posted!

Features:
No t-tops, stereo, electric windows or central locking
Full spoiler kit

Mods in Japan:

Holes drilled in chassis/firewall for racing harness 
14" Red (!) Watanabe wheels
KYB/TRD shocks (front badly worn)
Springs (soft at front)
???????

My additions:

        Monroe gas shocks (front)

        New front bottom ball joints

1997    Installed electric windows and central locking
        Tokico Illumina Shocks 
        Eibach Springs

Wish list:
Stereo - Pioneer head unit, Infinity 4" components, Kicker 3.5" coax (rear fill)
2x Infinity 8" mid/bass
Late 4AGZE engine
Cams, pulley, hi flo injectors etc. etc.
Over 200hp
