Toyota MR2 Turbo

[L33 LEG]

im not really that bothered about selling this to be honest but could do with a little bit of cash so ideally would like a part ex, havnt got a clue what id like but just ask and il either say yes or no. il even do a straight swap for something if its something a bit different.

anyway, the car:

MR2 Turbo T-Bar Import. 1990 shell which is not far from immaculate in my opinion, i polish it a good few times a week and wash it daily, there isnt any marks on the paintwork at all. the ONLY sign of rust is on the drivers door, just the paint is bubbling slightly and is only about 30mm in size. the paintwork/bodywork is perfect, very clean shell and underneath is just as sound.

2.0ltr twin entry turbo engine which again, is very clean. only mods are a de-cat and dump valve but its seriously good fun and doesnt miss a beat. i also believe the actual engine is from a later mr2 so will have the 240-250bhp, il obviously have to look into this more to know for definate.

Interior is in very very good condition, no marks on the trims anywhere and everything is there. and is also VERY comfy, i find it much more relaxing to drive than my beemer with the M3 EVO seats in :eek: also comes with nearly new omp wheel, came out of my nova Lol.

As said exterior is in mint condition, front bumper sprayed just a few weeks ago. the spoiler is a bit dull on the inside but every other panel is spot on, unknow on the bodykit name but looks spot on imo, just needs some mesh in the front to finish it off!

The OZ alloys are off an EVO 5 so are obviously not you're average weak wheel, all tyres are above legal limit. il also chuck in my old white 17s as theyre no use to me now.

Uprated shocks and apex springs, handles superb and is very stiff around corners.

Tinted Glass, will also come with the original roof glass.

Tax till end of JAN 2009
MOT till around MAY 2009 i think

Dials read 122,000 KM, the donor car for the engine read around 100km though. no proof but you just have to see it and ul know its a low miler.

OFFERS around £2,500. as said tho, im really after a swap. just fancy a change thats all! whether it be a nova, astra van, e30 BMW or a lambo, im not picky.

PM for my number if you're interested...

[L33 LEG]

also like to add that if you're unsure about insurance get some quotes first. im with elephant with no years claims and it was around £1200. just got my renewal and its just over £900. thats it being an import aswell, very cheap especially when with the same company they want over 2k for UK spec scoobs/etc.

[white2lSR]

Me thinks you want a nova again ;)

[sulphur]

any pics of the interior?

[L33 LEG]

only pic iv got really, il get some more up within the next few days

and yes, i do miss my nova days :(

[Lee H]

Can tell if its a later engine as it won't have an air flow meter if it is.

Really would like one of these.

[L33 LEG]

il have to have a look and see then.

id highly recommend one lee (obviously), iv been wanting one since i was 18 and im so glad iv finally got one. i honestly dont think you can get much better cars for the price.

[white2lSR]

did you find out if it had the later engine in? what power do the early motors put out???

[Lee H]

Early ones are about 200bhp. I had a Celica GT4 with the early engine in, it was so slow.

[L33 LEG]

i drove a gt4 years ago and i was very disappointed with it, this car def feels alot faster. il check the engine 2moro. either way tho it is a very quick car!

[bonelorry]

it will be the early engine in that mr2 as its a rev 1 or rev 2!

the more powerful engines where fitted in the rev 3 models which where facelited and has different rear lights etc they also had a different turbo the ct26b IIRC :thumb:

i know as i put a rev 3 into a tree earlier this year at 70mph and bent in half :tard:

[Jack]

^ CT26 is the early turbo.

G reg one should be the early 220bhp engine, they used rev3 3SGTE's with the C20b from about 93ish onwards iirc... 90-93 was the lower power 200bhp engine, detuned for reliability.

ST185 is slow because its 4wd and heavy. MR2 is lighter and rwd.
