2.sounds like you already diagnosed your light problem so just check to see that the switch is properly connected
3.tires could be the problem if it's been sitting a long time. try jacking up the front and wiggling the tire to see if any thing is loose or worn out
4.i've never bought the pump new so i don't know how much they are , i got mine from the junkyard
5.is your car 85-86 with the c-50? some people say it's a common problem but luckily i've never had it. if you decide to get a used tranny you might want to look for the 87-89 which came with the c-52 and they say the problem was resolved. the tranny is actually very easy to change but while your at it make sure you replace the clutch while your there.
If you need new oem parts , contact Aaron from Lithia Lithia Toyota of Springfield - Toyota MR2 Message Board
How much longer do you have to wait to start driving? |
I'm pretty sure it's not the tires but something in the suspension and stuff. This weekend we're gonna take it down somewhere and have them see what's wrong with it and maybe fix it if we can't. I have 30 hours of driving time so I need 20 more till I get my provisional. And then I can take one other unlicensed person, but as many licensed or family members as possible. But it being a two-seater that's no problem.

MR2 For a First Car
When you get yours running, and license in hand . . . . the car will handle so well . . . that you, in your inexperience, MIGHT think there's nothing it can't do.
Every early teenaged owner of an MR2 in my neck of the woods has totalled their MR2 within 6 to 8 weeks of ownership.
Youth is a form of insanity. I can honestly say that when I was in my mid-teens . . that if I had a car that would go 250 MPH, I'd have gone 250 MPH regardless of weather, traffic, road conditions, etc. But if you survive your youth, the reward is dull, boring sanity. |
I'm already very cautious when it comes to unfamiliar vehicles. I got my motorcycle license about 8 months ago and my first bike was a 1991 Hawk gt which is a perfect beginners bike but at the beginning of January I had to take the front wheel off of it to replace the tire. So my brother told me I could ride his stunted out '05 636 to school so I was all YAY!!! Everything was going fine until I had to come home. I got off the freeway and hit a bump going about 55-60 and since it didn't have a steering bumper yet I went into a tankslapper and laid it down going probably 40ish. But since I was wearing a helmet, gloves, boots, and a leather jacket. I was fine. All fine except for a LOT of road rash on my left knee. So I'm really cautious now. Lesson learned. The very hard and painful way.
