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:

It has been garaged for years and rats had gotten in it. It was really nasty but actually in very good shape. 99 K miles on it. I trailered it and brought it home. Have now stripped it down and cleaned it inside and out. Also had to drop the gas tank and replace the fuel pump. Also flushed the tank. Got it started for the first time last night.

my name is Cory and im thinking about picking up an MR2 this summer (long ways out i know)

I currently drive a MK3 VW jetta. its been my baby since i bought her when i was 16. I learned lots from her, and although weve had a few fights i still love it to death. Done a few things to it. Dropped on ksport full coilovers. gone through various sets of wheels. mk4 intake manifold swap. swaybays. tie bars. 11" dual piston front brakes. rear drum to disc swap. short ratio trans. lightweight flywheel and stage 1 clutch. manual adjusting clutch cable. upgraded motor and trans mounts. relocated battery. yada yada yada. i could go on all day.

Anyway, ive always enjoyed a nice handling car over a fast car. I knew if i got a fast car at 16 i would wreck it, and i have to pay for my cars and mods, so wrecking a car isnt a good idea :lol: so i focused on making the mk3 handle the best it could. Well, recently the power bug has gotten a hold of me. I had planned on boosting the mk3 but a kit is 2.5k+ for a basic kit. and the one i would have wanted is 3.5k :thumbdown: and thats a hefty price for some go fast parts that really wont make me much faster. I'd have a fast mk3. not a fast car. so i decided if i was willing to pay 3.5k why not save more and look into a car with more power from the factory? so i pondered the idea of a few hondas, and decided while i could enjoy a nice EG its not really what i see myself driving. i dont want to fall into that ricer catagory. Thought about a few nissans like a 240 and whatnot, and again. around here they are the ricers. Then one day i had a revalation. I heard a BOV sound, which always perks my ears, then a very clean mk2 MR2 drove by and i knew then that i needed one. RWD, mid engine means ill get to keep my love for handling. turbo'ed from the factory means no kit and less worried about turboing an NA car. and they are by far one of the best looking cars ive ever seen. so i looked around online and found quite a few for pretty cheap. only 1 or 2k more that i was going to spend on the mk3 turbo kit (minus all the prep work i was going to do to prepair the motor which was another thousand) so ive decided im going to talk the parents into letting me buy an MR2 (im in college and commute while living at home) and daily that with a few mods and let my sister who will be turning 16 soon, drive my mk3 when she needs to.

ive looked through a lot of the site already. the page on whether or not an mr2 is a good first car was quite helpful. it reinforces that i must keep the jetta for when i need more seats and a trunk :thumbup: and for winter.
i also like that you all are anti-rice. my vw scene is all about "euro" (pretty much just keeping it OEM+ using imported european parts for those who dont know) and it seems you guys here are the same, although focusing less on looks, which i can dig.

sorry i wrote so much. im kind of a post whore on my vw forum too :rofl:

heres a pic of the jetta

hopefully ill get to park an mr2 next to it soon:)
lookin forward to gettin to know you guys ]]> Check In rocklizzard91 http://www.mr2.com/forums/check/Toyota-MR2-46741-potential-new-mr2-owner.html 91 SW21 in NM http://www.mr2.com/forums/check/Toyota-MR2-46732-91-sw21-nm.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:24:16 GMT I bought the car in August but wrecked it within a week then spent a few months collecting parts to fix it. 91 SW21 completely stock, plan on leaving it mostly that way for now, maybe a few upgrades for ES autocross when I get the funds together. here's a recent pic after putting it all back together

I will admit I do not own a mr2 :( but I do love toyota's! My first car was a 97 Celica GT it was my baby and by far the nicest one I had ever seen it never saw rain or snow and I repainted the car twice just beacuse I am anal lol. I know own a 2008 Lexus IS250 but my heart still says buy an mr2 buy an mr2 :D hope to have one soon from what I have seen ont he board you can get one failry cheap now which makes me very happy! Well hope everyone here is as friendly as eveyone over at the ClubLexus forum!

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!
