Hoping to Keep Old Blue

Charanaheim · 02-26-2009, 03:06 PM

Hi.

I have owned my 1985 MR2 since it rolled off the truck in Orange Co. I have driven it over 340,000 miles and she is still going strong. I have spent the last week trying to locate emission tubes/smog pipes/vacuum tubes as Toyota no longer manufactures this part. I have had no luck to date, and would hate to give up my car because I can't pass smog. My plans were to keep forever as it is so much fun to drive. Hopefully I can resolve and head out across country again in Old Blue.

Welcome Char!

That sucks to hear. Are you in Orange County? There are a few mk1s in the junk yard, best bet or post a WTB thread.

and don't forget to say chat it up in the SoCal Chat thread and head over to our meets sometime. Pics of the Ice Blue Metallic! Pretty please.
