My first: MR2 Black NA 93 (13 Pictures)

InBlew · 04-15-2009, 06:36 AM

Hello! First off i would like to apologize all my "English errors", im from finland so English isnt my maiden language.

These are my first posts but ive been spectating on this forum for awhile now, and now ive decided to let you ppl see my MR2

I Bought it from Germany, it cost me 4.100EUR / ~5.443USD Without taxes, so i need to pay +1200 - 1700EUR on top of the 4.100EUR.
cool right? No.

First time i layed my eyes on the car i noticed that the whole right side is scratched

Turned out that someome had scrached it propably with a key on the way from Ger to Fin=No refunds whatsoever.
cool right? No.

The first time i drove the car immediately noticed that the clutch is nowhere near this planet.
When accellerating, it gave up on 2.600rpm and got back in 5.500rpm on all gears, exept on first. On those rpm¨s the clutch couldnt handle the torque and started slippin.

The Dealer nor the person who picked this car up did not mention about this to me at all.
i know, cool right?

when i layed my eyes on the clutch disk, noticed that it still had some "padding" (idk?),but it was glassed up, it was actually shiny..
Installed an aftermarket clutch=200EUR.

Im actually quite surprised how un-raped this car feels, considering that it has seen 218.000kilometers of asphalt and has propably screamed "Heeeelp meee!" allaround Germanys autobahns.
No leaks, No bad noices or smells, everything seems fine.

Since i got it, ive treated it with:
New sparkplugs (NGK)
New clutch
New Engine/Transmission oil
New Oil filter
New Coolant fluid
K&N Intake cleaned and oiled
-
+94 Taillights (i need to get them shining again)
Pivot that controls the pop-up lights rising amount (0%-80%)
2-Din 6.5" touchscreen dvdplayer
--
Going to get 2x 10" subwoofers behind the seats, and one amp under the passenger seat (atleast its not my ass thats on fire)

The leather seats are good, only the driver sides leather looks like "its been used" noshit?, not going to change the seats.

Now its time for some pictures mmmmmm

(Notice how i got the Spyder logo on my front

)

Spot me on the rear bumper!

So there you go, now youve seen my first mr2! Thank you for viewing, and
please feel free to comment the Good and the Bad!

Nice car....except for the scratches...lol

Yeah thank youuu!

Hey i have one simple question, but dont want to start another topic because of it:

Can you guys hear your mr2 sucking air?
i have a K&N cone filter (yes its clean), and the suction sound is really loud?
i can hear it when i press the gas a little, like 1-3cm, and when im accelerating at 4.500rpm it starts to "wooooooooooshhhhhhh"

is that normal or wtf?

Denz · 04-17-2009, 04:22 AM

Yeah thats normal, its a pod filter thing.
The wooshhhhh happens with me with either air filter, thats the ACIS kicking in.

Diggin the exhaust tips. I'm not generally one for aftermarket exhaust, but I really like the oblong-ness of yours. Also the muffler works well with the black on '94 IMO.
Welcome to the boards!

Denz · 04-23-2009, 10:29 PM

I just looked through this again, and I love those exhausts! and the Middle mesh bit

Achilles · 04-23-2009, 10:48 PM

holy **** man, that is a slick ride, want to trade rims?

TreyMR2 · 04-23-2009, 11:05 PM

Really clean looking 2. I like that exhaust 2, doesn't look as crazy aftermarket as most exhausts.
