newtomr2 · 05-10-2008, 12:07 AM

i have been a member for a month or two now and still do not know how to get around in here or know a fraction of what you can probably do on this site. i never really said hi to everyone when i first joined, i just asked questions about the problems i was having. so...HI everyone. they call me Bo. i have owned my red '88 supercharged MR2 for about a year now.i have over 206,000 miles on it. bought it on ebay for $1525.00 and went from west virginia to indiana to pick it up. have 90-95% restored her. have replaced everything underneath like tie rods tie rod ends, ball joints, stabalizer bar etc...,had several large rust holes repaired and painted and clear coated entire car, replaced tires, toyota rims, did head work, tranny work, replaced sensors, clutch, throw out bearing and many, many other things. even changed the supercharger oil(the canisters are around$40.00 each and it took 2 1/2 canisters to fill it up). it is bone stock exept for the rare TRD header and new thrush mini turbo muffler i had installed. and i put a new red and black grant steering wheel on for looks and comfort. next year i plan to have the window tint stripped and replaced and try my luck at having a smaller supercharger pulley installed for more zip. i drive a '01 outback in the winter and just made this my summer car. the MR2 is alot more fun to drive than the subie. anyway, it is my pleasure to have joined your group and look foreward to cooresponding with you guys and gals in the future. am looking foreward to some of the MR2 meets as well. if anyone knows of some local stuff close to WV let me know. or if anyone just wants to chat...feel free to as my window is always rolled down. hope to speak to some of you soon. Bo
