>mr2 only

>Find MR2 for £650
>Body seems in good condtion
>Passed MOT
>Check engine light is on
>Starts up and drives

What do you guys think? At that price even if the engine is fucked I'm not losing a lot of money and if it does work I just saved £5,000

>>16630476
I say go for it the fix could be something easy and cheap the most expensive something is going to cost is a transmission or engine rebuild

>>16630476
Look up how to check an AW11s check engine codes. It's literally bridging two terminals and then watching how many times the light flashes. That'll give you an idea as to what's wrong.

I'd say it's completely worth it.

>>16630669
It's a SW20 not an AW11

>>16630738
Well then buy a cheap af ObdII code reader and find out what it is.

>>16630476
make sure the trans is fine. Put it in third gear from a stop and if you can get it to roll with the clutch all the way out and no gas it's got a fucky clutch. try all gears at high rps, both up and down shifts and make sure no pop-outs. check the under carriage for rust

>>16630098

I'm going to buy two MR2, one is complete and running, the other one has no front train and no engine

The catch is that I live in a shitty country which won't let you drive a nice car so I'll have to wait until 2018 to be able to drive around with the complete car (It's a foreign car si I have to wait 30 years to insure it without having to pay 10.000€ in fees)

Otherwise I could remove the train and the engine of the running car and add it to the car which is already 30 years old

I have seen them the running one is near perfect condition, no rust or anything
The other one has rust over the windshield and over the rear right wheel arche

What should I do

I don't want to wait two years to drive my MR2

It's not that bad, less than a centimenter large on the arche. Over the windshield it's a bit more advanced, there's a good 5cm quiet rusted

I don't plan to daily this one, if I wait until 2018 I will buy an engine and a train to build a rallye car out of this one.
Anyways I might keep it as a part bank

I forgot to tell you that they sell the cars for 2 grands

Can't wait for spring so I can start working on my garbage.

$200 gets you this

>>16633155
That's funny because the oem wheels sell for at least twice that much alone.

>>16633187
The car came with Bridgestone Potenza Pole positions as well. That's $800 worth of tire.

Also it runs and drives fine. 200k miles. The rear fenders are really bad but I'll take care of that with a welder and maybe some flares.

>>16633187
$400 for triangles?
Ive been taking them to the recycler and getting like $20

>>16633199
you cunt

>>16633206
I have a set sitting around now.
Ill take $400 for them please. Plus cost to dismount old tires. Plus shipping

>>16633199
I honestly wouldn't say triangles are worth $400. If that's the case I've got over $1k of wheels and tires (tires are 90% tread). I'd say triangles in good condition with no kerb rash (like mine) would go for like $150. I just need to clean them up a bit since they're grimy.

is an MR2 or a miata more fun?

be honest

>>16633319
I like both equally.

>>16633319
It depends on how you like to drive.
I had both and found the mr2 more fun.
But i see the appeal of the miata

>>16633330
>It depends on how you like to drive.

well i've only ever driven fwd cars so both would be a change

>>16633334
The mr2 for me was fun because it needs to be more on the edge.
The miata was also fun because you could fuck up and it was easy to correct.

>>16630983

mr2 is like playing a game on hard for the first time, or solving a 5x5 Rubik's cube
Miata is easy mode always like a 3x3 Rubik's cube.

Mr2 has much higher reward but is obviously more difficult, Miata will always treat you right but sometimes not good enough.

Thanks man. I bought some made by Carbon Pixel on ebay. I think they were 2.5" wide? Not sure

I have 15x8 XXRs with what I believe is a 0+ offset. I have 205 tires on
them that have just a little bit of stretch and I'm sure I could go 210s for a better fit.
I also have 1" hub centric spacers underneath to pop them out just a bit more to fill the flares up. Yeah yeah, I know this puts extra wear on the wheel bearings but it looks better and handles flatter.

Now granted I get light rub at hard turn angles. But my struts are completely shot and need replaced and I'd like to go to a tire that has a slightly smaller OD.

>>16635078
The SW20 actually has a fairly large trunk, the frunk can fit a suitcase, and there's some room behind the seats.

The ZZW30 has no trunk, and can't fit a small suitcase in the frunk. You're left with a tiny bit of room behind the seats. Like you can't really go get a fully load of groceries with another person in the ZZW30 unless you're having them hold the groceries in their lap.

desu the older ones are getting to the point where reliability issues are common.

AW11s are just falling apart, so without a full restore you will have issues.

n/a SW20s are pretty solid, but turbo SW20s often don't qualify for the toyota reliability meme.

MR-Ss are solid, or they would be if their engines didn't blow up.

Hi,

I'm currently looking at a mr2 86 shell, and was wondering how hard it is to put myself an 4age or 4agze? Givem that it would be a week end project.

>>16636680
It will be a extreme pain in the dick if you don't have a engine hoist or car lift but if you do have one of those things the only thing that's a pain in the ass (in my opinion) to do is installing the shifter cables. If you're not that mechanically inclined putting a 4age in the mr2 could take you up to 3 days or a day and a half if you have a lot of free time.

>>16636771

I have a lot of free time and the place for it. It would be more or like a project I do with bud over the weekend beer in hand
