FS: 1991 MR-2 GenIII Swapped, Magazine Featured

slwrthnu · 10-13-2008, 12:03 AM

It is finally time to bite the bullet and officially put my MR-2 up for sale. It is time to focus on some more important aspect of life (finishing up college) and make sure I can financially do that. I've owned this car for the last 5 years of my life and when I bought it, it was delivered to me as a stock 1991 MR-2 N/A. Everything that has been modified on this car was done in my ownership. Most of the work was done by my friends and I. Besides the paint and bodywork. This car was featured in the Feb. 08 issue of Modified Magazine, has taken home trophies at many high profile shows including Hot Import Nights, Dub Show & Importfest. I do use the car and my best 1/4 mile time to date is a 13.2@100mph. The car is very reliable, could be used as a daily driver but not recomended due to the massive amount of custom body work. But if you buy it you can use it however you want. I had to use it as my daily all summer, and it never let me down. Now on to the details.

I might be forgetting something, if i am i will update.

Price: $15,000 As it sits/described. I Am not very flexible, I believe this is a very fair price for the amount of money into the car. If you don't like the price, I don't care go buy a different car. I'd rather sit on the car then sell it for so little that it wont help me at all.

Trades: I am not looking to trade this for another car or truck. I don't know what I want to do for my next vehicle. The only thing i will consider are used motorcyles. 600cc sport bikes specifically. And I don't want something worth more then around 3,000 cause it will be a learning bike for me. So it would be bike+cash on your end.

Extras: I have collected a lot of parts for this car that for some reason or another, never made it into the car. If you want to spend a little bit more money and get a lot more, for a price of $18,000 I will include all of these parts, uninstalled. I will not part with these until after the car is sold:
•Apex'I Power FC with Commander
•Autometer Speedometer, Tachometer, Fuel Level & Volt Gauges
•Pioneer AVIC-D3 with the newest map update discs, Ipod Cable, Sirius Interface, Bluetooth Interface (some models came with, some without, this one was without but i purchesed it seperatly) & Remote
•Polk Audio PA100.5 5-Channel Amp
•Polk Audio MM650.1 6.5" Components
•Polk Audio MM 5.25" Components (I do not know the exact model because they havent released them yet, but I am receiving them as soon as they are)
•Polk Audio MM1040 DVC 10" Subwoofer
•Carbon Fiber Engine Lid Shroud w Dual 10" Spal Fans
•Spal Intercooler Fan
•Fuel Cell

You probably thought I was done, but one last option for you. I know Pink is not for everyone, so if you do not want the JLines I have a set of Volk GT-C Wheels I will give you instead. They are 17x7 in the front with 205/40/17s and 18x10 in the rear with 275/35/18. The rear's need new tires. They are beyond bald. And this means the extended studs and Project Kics lug nuts will come off of the car as the Volks wont fit on them. The Volks are currently gold, I will have them powerdercoated any color you want, and will purchase 1" spacers so the fronts wont be sunk in, as they were on the car when it had a stock front fenders.

Contact, If you are serious please E-Mail me at ftl22@nycap.rr.com as i check that more often then I check every forum I am on.

the only way to better reinforce them would be to have a cage, which if the car stays in my hands it will come in the future. this is exactly how you are suppose to mount harnesses without a cage. i did a lot of research on it because i can't stand people that miss-mount harnesses.

dupont code 400 alternate zero for touch up paint which i would assume that is the same for reg. paint too but i dunno. its not hard to get the code, just ask for bmw steel grey metallic.
