Pictures of my MR2

jsnod25 · 09-21-2009, 08:28 AM

Front end with racing stripes i put on thursday

Rear end with stripes on top and spoiler painted thursday too

Engine, little dirty, but pretty clean for original engine (TVIS is sparkling)

not a fan of the stripes personally but looks like a good clean body.

jsnod25 · 09-21-2009, 09:46 AM

not a fan? Dude those stripes added 55 HP and reduced the weight by 400 lbs...

besides, the stripes are temporary untill i get a real paint job on it, and i only paid $500 for it so im just playing around with it.

I'm digging the stripes.

+2 no to "racing" stripes over the car.

For 500 you did good... those sawblades (wheels) are worth at least $100 to some MR2 folks. I like everything but the stripes.

Speaking of which lol.... if you ever want to sell those rims I will pay you decently for them... I need a new set mine started leaking.

I prefer those rims over anything you can buy new and do not mind paying a reasonable amount for them so long as they arent horribly curb rashed, leak lol.

lsgheero · 09-22-2009, 10:32 AM

somehow duplicate post sorry :P

jsnod25 · 09-22-2009, 11:59 AM

ill take pics of all 4 of them, this car came with 2 sets of 4 rims... so ill post them here later. i havent looked closely, but they dont have much damage from what i can recall... ill go look here in a min after i eat my lunch and let you know.

jsnod25 · 09-22-2009, 12:02 PM

another note, again... this is just for fun, im getting a new paint job for it, i just wanted to play around a bit while it has its old, oxidized/chipped, and rusting painjob.

lsgheero · 09-22-2009, 12:22 PM

Well you did a really good job for just messing around, lol. Like I said I may not be a fan of the racing stripes but dont let my comments nor anyone elses stop you from doing what you want lol. Its your car and you should enjoy it.

jsnod25 · 09-22-2009, 12:51 PM

thanks, lemme go look at them rims really quickly, brb, like 5 min or so.

jsnod25 · 09-22-2009, 01:03 PM

ok, overall they are pretty good. They all need to be cleaned, but thats a given. The powdercoat is starting to come off on them in places, but the lug-caps are all there, and those plastic things are the ones that have the paint/powdercoat coming off the worst. Drivers side they are perfect, no curb remodeling done to them at all. The passenger side both have some grindage done to the outer most rim area. Though i would say that they could be grinded smooth again, if itwas me, it could be done in my spare time. The rear passenger rim seems to have a superficial scratch on it, i dont even think it made it past the paint/powder coat. If they were stripped, polished and recoated they would look brand new. I would say overall they are in good shape, just need some TLC is all.

lsgheero · 09-22-2009, 01:17 PM

Can you find out how much the shipping cost is to 85381? Once I find that out I will be able to let you know when/how much I can give you for them lol.

jsnod25 · 09-22-2009, 01:33 PM

alright, ill work on that for you. I also need to take the rubbers off and put them on the other rims, when that happens they will be ready to ship out.

Just about any MR2 in running decent/condition is worth more in parts than as a whole car. That's why I have a parts car I bought for $500

curvesrgood · 09-25-2009, 01:48 PM

I picked my last parts car up for 200... was just missing most of the front panels/valence/bumper otherwise was mostly there, plus a few extra parts. Engine has compression and transmission is supposed to be good. Had nice 87-89 seats and an extra set of good power 87-89 door panels too

ToyotaTechGeek · 09-25-2009, 03:27 PM

i picked-up a parts car for free ninety-nine

traintech86 · 09-26-2009, 12:11 PM

geek, what exactly would it take me to find a garage like yours out here in norfolk? just look up a storage place and ask if they have power?

and jason what color you gonna paint your 2? i really like this color here:

i think its called midnight blue or something... i am a big fan. that or something darker green
