New in northern California

mrclean · 10-28-2009, 09:58 PM

Hey everyone! I drove someone's MR2 on a for sale lot a while back and I just fell in love with the car - and now I've ended up with two of them

I don't see anything remotely like it available on the market today. It is hands down the most fun car I've ever driven. I'm new to the forum and hoping I'll learn some things about my new projects.

The first one I call "Blackie", a '91 Mk2 NA super-stripper model in stock show condition. There's literally nothing wrong with it! Only changes are removing front license plate frame and I'm planning to install a TRD short shifter kit.

The second one is "Speedy", a supercharged '89 Mk1 which runs pretty good but still needs a lot of work. Planning to autocross this one.

Looking forward to meeting some fellow MR2 fans!

mrclean · 10-29-2009, 12:38 AM

It is totally amazing. Couple more pictures, need to get better ones. The interior is still factory fresh and not a scratch on anything. Yours looks amazing too!

mrclean · 10-29-2009, 10:54 AM

Blackie's got about 46,500 miles but looks like 10k. Still has original factory plug wires. I'm afraid to drive it too much, thats why I got the other one!

o6spdracer · 10-30-2009, 05:22 PM

Cool. There is a pretty big MR2 group up in San Jose.
