I'm Bridgette

I have had 7 MR2's in the last year 5 of them Turbo's, these are wonderful cars, I have one that I will never part with, I got a great deal on it and its one of the fastest in Virginia Beach. I just sold one to a friend of Brians in GA, hes the one that introduced me to this site, so I am just here to introduce myself. I will write more later but I can honestly say these sites have helped me with few things that I have had problems with. Heres a few of the cars I have had

Welcome to the site, I was the guy who tried to buy the red one for like amonth, but i guess things never worked out. Very clean cars, I ended up finding a white 91 turbo, so it ended up ok in the end.

Wow, you could have your very own meets! Jumping from car to car and having conversations with yourself; "yeaaah I just had to replace the HFH man was that was a *****." *jump* "You think that's bad, I have to try and smog my car for cali before I move next month!"

Welcome to the boards You responsible for that yellow two tone or did you get it that way? I like it.

You into high performance driving at all?

Yeah I love the white ones. It was white with blue cloth when I got it. I swapped the interior out of my old one into it so it now has black leather, looks ten times better. It has been somewhat of a restoration project, but what isnt on these cars, just put a hybrid turbo on from mr2 guru, and am in the process of getting parts to convert it to manual steering.

By the way, do you have any more pics of the white seats?

I thought they were on here

I don't own all of them any more, I am down to two, mine & my sons, I buy them when I see a good deal, clean them up, trade them over (if my son wants it) do any work that needs to be done and then resale them

As far as the yellow one goes, no when we bought it, it had a really bad paint job, all yellow, my son wanted it two tone so this was his doing

I'm having problems trying to resize my seat pictures and it says its to large, you can always go to MR2oc and look up vaneck34, it shows them on there

I've got a Twos R us mbc and would recommend it. You can find that for about 40 bucks used or 50+shipping from twosrus. It works fine, but you gotta make suer that you tighten the lock nut all the way down. Otherwise the boost screw flies off, and then it's just a longer hose.
