Hello,

Why does he appear to have two wing mirrors on the back window, and what's with the ironing board stuck to the boot? If the repairs only cost as much as claimed, he would have done them by now. Best thing to do before buying a car like that is have a look around the car cruise sites. See if there are any pictures or videos of it being thrashed about. I wouldn't touch something with 155,000 miles unless all receipts were present. Stripping an engine down doesn't just mean replacing spark plugs or cambelt. The gearbox will also be on it's way out by now.

How little you know about Toyota Engines. This isn't a performance engine, just crusing sports car.

155 miles, if it has history is good to go. This is not a Ford. My GT4 has 143 miles on the original turbo, it leaks a little oil, but that I think is a combination of me overtightening the oil filters, and a leaky rocker gasket cover. It isn't an expensive fix, but it is a pain in the arse to do properly, and takes removal of the intercooler, and most of the intake system to do properly, alternatively, I can check the oil regularly, and clean the engine occasionally. It looks messier than it is, but the oil spray under the chassis helps stop rust setting in.

If it has had the required fluid changes (some Toyota boxes don't need fluid changes according to Toyota, just level checks and topups), it will be fine. Test driving it will tell you whether the shift is shafted.

High mileage does not mean a bad car. If someone has spent that much money on modifications, chances are they have also maintained it.

Missing a turbo isn't it?

he's got it wrong it's a MR2 GTi not GT as the GT and GT-S were imports, he's also got a turbo engine lid hmm, 2 ugly TOMS air scoops which actually disrupt the air flow (designed to draw air from underneath the car where it's coldest.) the paint job is cack! the spoiler/ironing board is also damn awful!

sad thing is once again it's selling! someone said he was a member of the MR2OC i think and the guy was on the forum everyday asking if anyone has spotting him.

what the twit should have done is not bothered with the stick on tat and got a turbo lump put in there! sod all this bollocks about insurance being to high with a conversion! an old school mate of mine drives a chav'd up Corsa, body kit £3k paint job ect and his insurance is more than my MR2 turbo! fools!

Damn those drug dealers! So Blatent these days!

Indeed, this is Brian again, and he's also just been advising once more that the original equipment on a car is better than anything else that money can buy.

We'll probably never get an answer to the question "Brian, if that is your real name, if you don't believe in modifying cars, why do you bother to read uk.rec.cars.modifications?"

Stickers with Japanese Writing Saying "Toyota Speed" On the Front, and Both Sides, hee, hee, hee

Now where would one purchase these I wonder?
