96 Toyota MR2 GT

[Sh4dow]

Hi everyone!

Finally got something worth posting about! Traded in my corsa and got an MR2, been searching for the perfect next car for a few months, looked at everything from Astra VXRs to 330CIs to RX8s, but with a new job I am slightly uneasy about getting a loan for anything expensive.

Yesterday I saw an ebay ad that said anything PX for a beauty of an MR2, so straight on the phone (was unlikely that many othr places would take a corsa C with bucket seats, alloys etc), he said he'd take that plus a tiny cash amount in exchange for the mr2.

So went to look at it last night and deposit was left! Picking her up on wednesday.

Still a tad sad I never got to finish the corsa, I had a 1.8 engine I was going to drop in her alongside loads of other performance goodies, coilovers, full cat back exhaust and eventully a turbo. I did want to see her on the track but she became a money pit and I got to the end of my tether with it.



So! The MR2, just had MOT and new cambelt, 100k on the clock, drives like a dream and is spotless inside and out. Still not sure how I got it quite so cheap!












Thats all for now! Don't have much planned for it, the obligatory PH sticker on the back and possibly a decent exhaust system + a remap.

Cheers

Cant remap the standard ECU on these mate

Doh! Spending too much time around hot hatches methinks.

Haha yeah I do love black on black, still the most bl**dy difficult to keep clean though!

Yes NA, wouldn't mind getting it to 200bhp, but I can't afford to spend a great deal on it at the moment. Hopefully later next year I'll be able to get some performance bits for it.

MOT'd less than a month ago, full history, went through every MOT certificate for the last 10 years and only ever had 1 advisery, which was a small chip in the windscreen. Always serviced at toyota garages etc. And cambelt fitted less than 100 miles ago.

Argh picking her up tonight! Have a feeling work is going to drag. Tempted to see if I can sneak off early (we're relatively quiet this time of year).
