Happen to be any MR2 owners in the group?



Not currently. Looking for parts, a question, or?

Any specific model year?

Well I personally own an MKII (94) Just curious if we have any others in here, any model year is fine :-)

Oh. No, '85 Corolla GTS 4A-GE engine. Thought you might have had an older one with a question. Same engine.

Almost bought one in 1991, but couldn't get together w/ the salesman, so I kept my hachiroku. Nice car!

You could always buy an MR2 now, prices for the early 90s are pretty affordable. Since you own the 4AG, this link might be of interest to you;

Don't know if you have seen it before. Any mods done to it?

Dayum! Nice. Wish the 20V were available here natively. I looked into snapping one in, but it's not a bolt-in; there is a lot of effort (read:$$$$$) involved in doing this; new sensors, new loom, different mounts, re-routing header, etc. Google:images:Brian Urbano to see an '87 with this mod!!!

And as far as an MR2? Let's see...

1983 Tercel Wagon, 4WD, 6 speed, 210,000 1985 Corolla GTS (since '86, stolen 2x) 258,880 1985 Celica GTS, 254,000 1988 Supra, Sportroof, leather, AT (ugh) NA, bought in November, 170,000 1992 Plym Grand V'ger, AWD 122,000 (bandwagon) 1994 Chry LHS, 148,000, given to me by an adoring customer

I gotta full plate. The LHS and the Celica are daily drivers, the Celica gets traded off for the Tercel or the V'ger for winter, the Supra is in really nice shape, driven 2x by me before going into a heated garage for the winter, and the 'hachiroku' has been a friend of mine for 19 years, getting rusty waiting for a restorethat started 2 years ago. Oh, yeah, I sold a '95 Tercel AT w 130,000 for the Supra, the Terc was getting 45MPG! Shoulda kept it!!!

Yeah sounds like you have enough cars. I have an LHS too, did you get the recent service / replacement part notice? More than a few guys have done the

20v swap on their MK1s, personally I don't know much about it. You could check out

some good toyota peeps over there.

LOL! Yeah, I got the notice! But, since, when driving an Automatic, I ALWAYS!!! put my foot on the brake before shifting, I'm not too worried about it!!

The only one i thought was scary (and was performed before I got the car) was the one Art told me about: the sub-frame mounting bolts working loose and dropping the motor and suspension off the car! I can see that at 70MPH on the freeway!

Holy crap, I'll have to make sure ours has that fix!!!

Me, 1999 mk2, with the 168bhp 3S-GE engine.

About to buy 92 Turbo T bar

WOW! That's an OLD recall! Call your dealer. One good thing about Chrysler (and the same for Toyota, but not Honda) is that any work done by a dealer is entered into a computer and can be accessed by ANY Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge dealer! So, if the work was performed in Cucamonga, and you're in Kankakee (a nod to Charles!) the dealer can look it up! A dealer in the town where I work was able to tell me when the car was bought (1,200 miles away), where it was bought, and that it had oil changes every 3,500 for the first 90,000 miles!! Just call the dealer and give him (her? Service Dep't) the VIN and they can tell you. I know it applies to '94, maybe '95; after that I think they corrected it.

A 99! I'm Jealous, pictures please! Oh and the 3SGE is a nice engine, better than my 5S! But I may be swapping that out for a 1MZ

I have a sunroof, I wish I had a hardtop. Not a fan of the T bar, those things always end up leaking, plus the chasis is not as stiff. Where are you located?

I'd, uh, still check it....

Not a happy situation!

I have two. 88 Supercharged and 93 Turbo. I'm a fan of Toyotas.
