reporting
My MR2 is currently undergoing open heart surgery, she'll make it but it's sad to see your car in pieces with oil pouring out of her. Also thinking I'm going to have to sell her this year due to the impracticality of owning an MR2 as your only car :'(

fuck this gay earth and people who over price their cars. It seems just a couple years ago I saw turbo models going for around $6k
I took the rear bumper off my car this week, the rear wheel arches are absolutely fucked below the bump strips and the wells on each side have totally rusted through and fallen off, including the bumper attachment points, meaning there is now no way to fix the bumper securely anywhere near the wheel arches. I have a good welder and I'm pretty competent with MIG, how ambitious is the idea of chopping out the whole of this section from a donor and welding it on? not my car obviously but red is rusted area, its on both sides, but more fucked on the port side

Just buy a shit box and keep it
>>14284167
No
>>14285130
Why worry about looks if it's under the bumper. Cut the cancer out and patch the rest, make mounts for the bumper and you're good. Now you have completely new metal instead of another old metal part going in
>>14283677
where do you live and how much do you want for it?
>>14285168
The mr2 is the shitbox
>>14285168
Can only afford one car at a time m8
>>14285366
In the Midlands. No idea hadn't really thought that far into into it. Paid 400 bongdollars for it 9 months ago but at that point it had no MOT and had a faults list as long as my arm, and I've put a lot of money into it at this point.

oh, bongland

Red two, reporting for boost.
>>14290125
As far as I'm aware it's fine? Dunno. Few other areas on the car are a bit dodgy (sills been welded and my mechanic just found a rotten bar on the rear) but I think the rear end is fine.

I don't care what they are called m8, they are ugly as hell
Oh hai - Uk turbo reporting in
>>14293320
>Turbo
Lucky bugger. N/A is a bit too lethargic, sadly.
>>14293358
Had a rev4 N/A for 18months, I got bored. it felt gutless
>>14293501
I couldn't afford a turbo, my N/A was bought without an MoT in a bit of a bad way. Plan was to, over years, fix her up and eventually modify the engine with an aftermarket turbo/supercharger. Will be a few years before I can do that, if she survives the rust that long.....
o hai dere

Having shit taste like yours should be criminal famalam

>>14296132
Australia, I imagine
>>14296135
I actually am.
>>14296145
WELL THEN but your car is nice
>tfw you're driving a Suzuki Liana for another day because when your mechanic started the MR2 up after fitting a new fan belt, the belt immediately ripped itself up and had to be removed again
Pic related, my grotty interior
>>14296132
Are you rotating the images on your phone?
If so, it's just changing a piece of EXIF data to display it differently, without editing the actual image, so it doesn't appear rotated when you upload it
>>14283090
Beast car its too bad it looks gay from the front. Im still gonna buy one. Ill probably put a lightweight more manly frunk on to appease my bitchness and get it in silver white or black.
>>14296119
Nice man i got a while aw11 too. I gotta get its idle going right from the previous owners. Bleeding no fun.
anyone have aw11 bleeding tips btw? I bled it on flatground and it didnt surge anymore but then put the ass up and bled it and it started surging again. Ive heard some have had luck jusr putting the ass up and running it without rad cap.
My engine is siezed on my MK1. Happened just last month. Car turns on but the engine does not crank. How much could I get for selling it? Should I consider just scrapping it??
>>14296328
What I did last time was attach those two clear hoses they give you to the radiator and heater core bleeders. Then I opened the bleeder screws with the hoses pointed up (I clipped them both to the hood prop rod). Then I filled the cooling system from the back, started the motor, and topped it off as the level dropped. When the coolant starts to overflow then put the cap on and then shut it off. A spill-free funnel would probably make this easier and less messy.

Do you not have money for a new engine? Toyota motors are pretty cheap
>>14297160
California is a bitch with their smog and auto regulations. The new engine would have to be for the same make/year/model offered for that vehical. So, i would need to find a decent 25+ year motor. And yes I am broke. So again.... Sell???
>>14297171
go to a wapanese engine shoppe
or junkyard
they really are cheap
Have you tried turning the engine manually with a wrench on the pulley, or push-starting it?
>>14290129
sorry dad
>>14296317
Can confirm silver is better.
People think I drive a porsche. Kek. They are jelly until they see the toyo logo, then they get confused.
Really the front of the car looks fine, f.am, it's just the image needs to be completed with a trd-style short spoiler at the back, the car only looks silly because of the ass of the car looking so bubbly.
>>14297272
the exhaust is even worse
>>14297342
Haha yeah I remember me and my friends were walking across a parking lot and one of them said something about a porsche and I looked and it was an MR2. Even after I corrected him he didnt believe me until we got close enough to see the badges. I was like trust me I own one. lol
>>14297171
Not true at all. Engine must be from the same year as the car OR newer. And the engine must have been sold legally at some time. So no rb26 cuz no cars with that engine were ever sold here. But 2jzgtte is ok cuz mk4 supra turbo was sold on dealer lots in cali. Must retain all smog related equipment, even stock cats. Go to one of the very few referee stations and get it passed
>>14287657
you know manga got cancelled ?
I really want to pick up an AW11 MR2, I can't find any on craigslist anywhere near here though. Anyone have any suggestions for how I can go about tracking one down?
>>14299118
Join the forums or the owners groups on Facebook. There's several dedicated Facebook pages for selling MR2 parts & cars.
is 6k too much for a sw20 tarbo?
