New MR2 Owner

Metalroach · 10-16-2005, 03:29 AM

well not new new but still new... i bought my mr2 back in June of this year for 300 cash....

i got it this cheap because it had been abused and wasnt in good condition...

the engine needed to be rebuilt from the head up, needed a new coil, fuel pump, thermostat, and alot of TLC

so far i have replaced the old stock coil with a ACCEL coil, the fuel pump for a factory replacement, taken the themostat out completely just to make sure that when i try to crank it it will stay cool for a little while.

the car has been primered over on the worst of the rust spots and it is now running.

the coolent lines still need to be changed, thermostat, head rebuilt, new struts, some paint and body, and my custom touches of course

for right now im planing on staying with the stock 4age untill i get a good feel for the car.. as it being a MR and handling much different than my FF Tercel its going to be a while till im used to the back end kicking out on me if i give it to much power in a turn... but i will probably upgraded this one to, or buy another mk1 Supercharged....

this is the car as it sits now..

when im finally done with it... i plan on having bronze 15x7 Konig Rewinds underneith it, with a dark candy red on top, a red carbon style hood and engine lid, and of course my preferences here and there
