hello! 93 N/A checking in! shops recommendation please, and PICs!

ososlow · 04-10-2009, 06:56 PM

hi guys. newbie here. but you won't believe i have had my 93 mr2 since it was brand new, and i still have it! it's now sitting in the garage, haven't touched it for couple years now. battery dead, clunking suspension, check engine light, etc. etc.

used to do the mr2 meets and canyon runs back in the 90's before "internet forums" even existed! wonder if those old hands still hang out here.
i'm thinking about restoring the 2 and would like some recommendations of reputable shops for mr2 around LA westside/south bay areas.

and couple pics back in the days...

dude niice! welcome

i am envious of the fact that you bought her new!
i am sure there are some old school heads out and amongst the forums.
a lot of them are on club4ag..

Ben · 04-12-2009, 07:27 PM

Welcome nice duece looks great and dam original owner

Mark_Dorman · 04-13-2009, 03:30 AM

Welcome...that's crazy. I've never met an original owner who still had theirs. The couple that I've met said that was one of their biggest regrets. Way to hold onto her

Davis · 04-13-2009, 01:17 PM

I say we go to ososlows place, throw a battery on and see what's wrong with her.

datguydeni · 04-13-2009, 02:36 PM

there were mr2 car meets back in the day o.0 i thought that was unheard of must've been nice.

Davis · 04-13-2009, 06:29 PM

Haha Of course there was Dennis. Toyota even had an official MR2 club, but that soon died in 1995.

datguydeni · 04-13-2009, 07:46 PM

i was only 5 at the time lol
anyway to resurrect that mr2 club sponsored by toyota =o

Mark_Dorman · 04-13-2009, 10:52 PM

Not likely. Yeah...I was only ten in 95

datguydeni · 04-14-2009, 10:14 PM

well anyway ososlow... If you want to work on the car yourself... and fix things up. try the buy threads on the forum.

ososlow · 04-16-2009, 04:18 PM

thanks a lot guys! original owner ftw!!! hehe.
and thanks davis for the offer, i might just need to take you up on it since i know nothing about fixing cars.
see you guys sunday, but the 2 won't be showing up of course.

Davis · 04-17-2009, 01:43 AM

No problem, I'd be happy to help. We'll see what we can figure out. Pardon me, but what is your name anyways?

I think that will help us all get in touch more.

just call me "the original owner"... that's probably much easier to remember than my real name

Davis · 04-21-2009, 02:14 AM
