Got myself a 2!

MRH · 05-20-2009, 10:46 PM

1993: NA/ White ext. Black leather interior(amazing shape)
T-Tops, for lights, storage unit. almost all factory options for a turbo.
I will definitely snag and post some pictures of her tomorrow. she's sleeping under her tarp.

SW21T · 05-20-2009, 10:50 PM

Congratulations! can't wait to see how she looks..

MRH · 05-20-2009, 11:05 PM

Thanks Yellow!

All the audio work is factory I believe.

there are 2 tweeters in front(by the rear view mirrors.) and one behind each seat(2)?
two woofers under-ish the seats(factory location) and mids in the doors and also the panels behind the seats? just checkin' to compare.

I have the old school 93 head unit. I want to get something that still hold true to the MR2, but hooks up to my ipod and let it be tucked away too. anyone got examples?

thanks a bunch!

it already has,
HKS: catback exhaust. 3"
TRD: short shift kit, I believe that all suspension parts are now TRD(shocks, springs, bushings), The TRD sway bar might not have a logo correct? looks like an V, it mounts at the fire wall and meets the suspension?

Future plans
looking to connect the Air to Fuel Gauge and Exhaust tep gauge.
repair the minor damages.
Audio for sure, music is a huge part of my life.
clear marker lights are a potential.
maybe rev6 headlights.

oooo. Nice find

MRH · 05-20-2009, 11:52 PM

I thought so. the engine runs sooo strong. the throttle(accelerator) is really tight on this particular car, I have driven many cars(including mr2s) but none this tight, it's almost as if I just bought a car straight from the factory. (maybe catching somewhere? I've read that happens sometimes.)

none of the Frunk, trunk, engine bay lines work well. I need to replace them. that's the first thing on my list. then all else will go down! ^_^ (any known easy fixes? or just gotta get nitty gritty with it?)

SW21T · 05-21-2009, 12:02 AM

Yea, I had to tighten mine so I can accelerate better. Makes a hell of a difference.

No I don't I got the same problem with the Frunk

haha, yeah, my first day with the car I had spent about 10 minutes at the park full of people looking at me while I pathetically failed many times to get my frunk to shut. :/ I only tried slamming it once, then I realized there was a problem with the spring that holds the frunk tab down. so being nice to it served me well.

SW21T · 05-21-2009, 12:08 AM

That must of been fun. Mine closes right, It just doesn't line up.

haha, more of a workout than I thought I would have got from opening and closing a car hood.

while I was doing that: some kids started a fist fight across the way, and cops came rolling in, my park used to be so chill...it made for an interesting day. this after a 12 hour drive from buying the 2.

I saw a few Maserati, Ferrari, Porche, and Audi'z on my way back.

Maserati GranTurismo S - the sports coupé of the Trident is the one I saw. I forgot to mention a Lotus Esprit with a killer body kit.

SW21T · 05-21-2009, 12:26 AM

Like did anyone rev at you, stare any of that. Nice looking car!@

MRH · 05-21-2009, 12:28 AM

the Audi and the Porche did. we had driven in line through traffic for about an hour. I did not want to do anything stupid off of the track while I was in traffic.

Thats good, you plan to track the car

MRH · 05-21-2009, 12:36 AM

if work has me off on the weekends, I'll probably hit it up when I can, the car already has harness mounts installed, they could stand to be cleaned up, or have new ones installed for appearance sake. but they will work just fine.

SW21T · 05-21-2009, 12:40 AM

Nice, I also want to hit the track in my 5sfte(if it lives)
