New Owner just saying hi... with some pictures.

deucethemoose · 11-14-2009, 04:28 PM

Hi everyone. Last weekend I picked up my first MR2. My first MR2, but definitely not my first Toyota. I have had three 6th generation Celicas before this. Two of them were pretty well modified, one even being swapped with a 20V silvertop.

basic facts:

1991 MR2 N/A
Base model (power nothing is awesome)
T-tops
Crimson Red
103K miles

18" Voxx Monza wheels - I'm not a fan. Presently looking into 16" staggered wheels.
Tint
Upgraded speakers, amp behind driver's seat and 10" sub behind the passenger seat.

Pictures aren't the best, so bear with me.

Plans for the future - smaller, staggered wheels. Springs/struts of some kind. I haven't decided on the direction I want to take it in the future. Cheap intake and an exhaust. Possibly cams, as my friend works at Delta Camshaft and can do up my cams for me for free.

And just so you can see where I'm coming from, here are my last couple toyotas:

Very Nice MKII, and welcome to the forum.....

Hey good to meet ya! I just moved down from Yelm, Wa. Worked in Federal Way. Welcome to the forum.

Davis · 11-16-2009, 09:40 PM

Welcome aboard, nice Celicas! Now get those 18s off the 2!

tadamany · 11-16-2009, 10:57 PM

I agree with you about the wheels? Those just look silly, but the car looks real nice and original, just the way I like 'em.

Awesome Celica's. I was looking at those before I got turned on by the MR2.

Welcome to the Forum.

deucethemoose · 11-17-2009, 12:08 AM

Thanks for the kind words guys.

I would like to find some SA3's, but for a OEMish look I would even like a set of R32 Skyline wheels. Eibach/Illumina combo and a 93+ front lip. I am done doing heavy mods like my Celicas had. I am much more interested in subtle, OEM-look modifications.

Fazed Out · 11-22-2009, 10:45 AM

sounds like a good plan! Nice quality on the paint, looks like its well kept-up.

lmp9002002 · 12-05-2009, 02:54 PM

WOW! that silvertop has the CLEANEST engine compartment i've ever seen.
Congrats on the '2! looks great, and very clean as well. Welcome aboard.

deucethemoose · 01-09-2010, 04:22 PM

Traded the Voxx wheels for a set of 16" SSR Integral A2's.

Bak@EMSPowered · 01-09-2010, 07:10 PM

Welcome to the forum. Great looking MR2 and Celicas as well.

lmp9002002 · 01-10-2010, 11:47 PM

Nice trade! are they staggered?
Next step is some lowering springs

that huge gap between the tire and fender looks so weird on mr2's...

deucethemoose · 01-12-2010, 01:28 PM

Not staggered. 16x7 all around - I believe +38. Now just have to find a pair of 16x8.

o6spdracer · 01-12-2010, 01:51 PM

Nice! If you are looking for springs, get the TRD's! Aaron has a gb on them right now. Email him at awillis@lithia.com. He should have a few in stock. They will probably get discontinued soon too.

squirrelyT · 02-01-2010, 04:28 PM

welcome! clean2, nice find! enjoy
