Greetings! I own two MR2 turbos here in Reading (Shillington/Mohnton area). I'd love to see your widebody sometime. Looks well done!

[Widebody]

Thanks! Sure thing. My car Is apart for the winter though.

[Foolinaround]

My car is for sale in the winter!

i had a '91 NA>turbo then back to a NA and then sold haha.

to be honest, probably the biggest waste of money, time, patience, blood, and sweat i've ever had. i owned the car for almost 2 years, had it completely built by what was considered a "reputable" shop and ended up getting completely ripped off. it's really ashame because i think they're cool looking cars but i think it's funny when people SWEAR by the 3S and call it bulletproof yet EVERY single person i know that had an MR2 had major issues with them.

i'd say the only positive about owning an MR2 is that the community is full of great, knowledgeable, mature people, i love the mr2oc and got nothing but help from them over the past few years when I owned mine.

if i had advice for the current MR2 enthusiast, i'd say sell it immediately before you end up getting ****ed out of tons of money LOL!

here are some shots of my ex:

I haz one. Will probably be selling it over the winter. OR trading it for an n/a with cash on top or with the ability to swap parts over. Really I just want to have my seats and my headunit. Everything else can go with the car actually lol.

I loved my n/a when I had it and never really figured out how good it was to me until it was gone. I love my turbo car now but after rebuilding the car and having problem after problem after problem I've just about had it. You can ask anyone that really knows me. I eat, breath, and sleep mr2s. I have the tat on my back to show for it but I need to step away for a while and get something slow that I can push to the limit and only have to change the oil. Just like when I had my n/a car lol.

I'll be back to the mr2 crew someday but I might jump ship and become an integra/Honda guy for a bit. Ive been driving my girlfriends quite a bit and talking to her about it and the car is so slow but so fun. Plus the parts are cheap and everyyywhere. I'm gonna get one, intake/header/exhaust with a set of cams, wheels and suspension, tint/audio/seats. And be done. Auto x and beat the piss out of it.

Justin is right tho. These cars either love you or they hate you. Sorry for my little rant about another car but its been on my mind for a couple months and I'm sick of looking at my mr2 sit.

It has a lot of potential and the engine/trans are practically new so whoever gets it won't regret it lol.

I was thinking about an a nice sexy black MR2 but you're pushing me away.

N/A = Fine?
Turbo = Stay away?

[DPancoast]

the turbo cars are fine. the only thing I strongly recommend if you want to buy a turbo mr2 is to find a BONE STOCK car. The problem I, and others have run into is buying modified. Its jus like any other boosted car I guess.

N/a will treat you really good and be fun. Just be careful with the turbo car. They are VERY temperamental lol. Can you modify it? Yes. There is a very good website called MR controls that I can link to when I get home that gives the dos and donts and even numbers to back it up. Just have to be smart and "play by the rules" lol

I agree x10. Do not buy a modified mr2. Most of them have weird problems, are hack jobs, or time bombs. I think almost every single person I know that has purchased an mr2 already modified has replaced their motor. I bought my turbo bone stock with 160k, I modified it and beat the crap out of it and the motor was as healthy the day I parted it out as it was when I bought it.

Im in that other club.
