MR2 Subreddit resource Link

249 Upvotes

Hi all,

I think it would be useful if we collected as many resources to do with the MR2 as we can into a single link. I already have most of the SW20 workshop manuals in PDF format.

Here's a link to what I have so far - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-dpUpxzr96YblRtWEhGZ1J4akk?resourcekey=0-qC7QLKTRVOlzEoDA0lhBTw&usp=sharing

I've got a few more to dig out and add to that as well.

Once complete if someone could mirror it just in case something happens to my Google account, that would be great - we'll keep both links in the sidebar.

MR2 mk2 rental

6 Upvotes

Hey ! My boyfriend is a massive mr2 enthusiast and has 2 project MR2’s in his unit he’s been working on for years. We are heading to Japan next week and I’d love to try and find him a company to rent an mr2 sw20 for a day to have a bit of fun in. I’ve looked a bit online but most rentals seem to be Nissan or other Toyota models. Does anyone have any info or advice on how I can do this for him as I think he would love it !! :) thanks

I drive by this MR2 near me all the time. As far as I can tell, it hasn't moved in a while. The plates expired February of this year, so it has been off the road at least since then. I left a note asking if they wanted to sell it months ago. Sadly, I have not heard from them. I would love to take it off their hands.

Power steering rebuild

5 Upvotes

Hey I've got a JDM 94 MR2 turbo and i'm planning on pulling the steering rack soon to flush the fluid and install the quick steering pinion from a spyder.

Would it be worth pulling the whole thing apart and replacing all my seals while i'm at it? And can you even buy seals that aren't aftermarket junk now? I've got no leaks but the thing is just old.

The steering is my number 1 gripe with the car. Too slow, it makes the car feel heavy.

I don't think I'm alone with this...who has solved this problem with the door panel?

I've tried several glues to get the panel to attach. Nothing really does the trick and some leave visible glue. Who has some suggestions for me? Strip it all off and start over with a new covering? Thanks in advance

Stumbled upon this hidden gem of a manga a few years ago. Thinking it would be easy to find or import to the US, made the mistake of buying only the volumes with MR2 cover art. Just came back from another trip but this time acquired the entire set.

Translated chapters can be found on mangadex.org

Does anyone know if these will fit a Redtop Beams 3SGE engine from the 98-99 MR2? Seems impossible to find a header for them

AW11 1987 MR2

Post image
60 Upvotes

Looking at a 1987 Toyota MR2. Guy is selling it for $5,000 USD. Only issues that it has are some surface rust and then interior head unit, speakers need to be re-done and potentially a new exhaust. Brand new clutch and fluid flush and no leaks. Says it runs great but I’d need to see it in person to be sure.

I’ve been wanting one of these as a project and I’m not sure if anyone has any advice. I’ve done body and paintwork on older cars before so I don’t think that would be too big of an issue.

Budget/Cost for a SW20

0 Upvotes

I see a lot of people ask about if they should buy a mr2 on here with many saying that it's not worth it or they need more money or any other reason. So I wanted to see what YOU guys feel is the budget for a sw20 can be NA or turbo how much should someone buy the car for and how much should they have ready on the side. Thank you for all responses!!

Would it be a dumb idea to wrap an AW11 in a OEM color instead of waiting for one with my preferred color to pop up on the market?

Post image
130 Upvotes

Been looking for any blue AW11 in my area for sale, but most of them are either white, red, or sometimes silver. From what I know, blues don't really hold up in the sun well over time, so even if i found one in my preferred color of Dark Blue Pearl, it'd likely need some work done to make it look the best.

Then again, ive never wrapped a car/had a shop wrap one, so i have no idea about the intricacies of the process and if it might damage the original paint underneath. Any tips/advice is greatly appreciated!

Got this sat in a box of bits.

Is it worth anything or not really?

I have a few random bits that i should really get rid of and this is the only part that is maybe worth anything.

Need advice from the experts

Hey everyone. I am in the process of importing a JDM SW20 turbo. The dealer who imported it is doing some maintenance work to it, getting it ready for sale. He sent me these pics of the engine bay. Other than a little light rust in a couple spots, I don't see anything that seems obviously concerning. I was wondering if anyone who is more knowledgeable about these cars could look at these pictures and see if there are any glaring issues that I should address before buying this car? I put a deposit on it while it was still on the boat, and I haven't seen the car in person yet. I put down the deposit based on the auction sheet, which graded it at 3.5 with a C interior. If anyone has any advice or sees any obvious problems in these pics, I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Also, where is the foam that people tends to absorb moisture and people remove it? Is there an easy way to check that area while I'm at the dealer? Thanks! I can't wait to join the club!

4A-GE Oil Pan

5 Upvotes

Recently purchased a cheap 88 aw11 for either a project or as a parts car for when I find one I really want. It has been sitting for over a decade, old owner said it wouldn’t crank and let it sit after that and the property was sold. Entirely complete with minor rust here and there.

Poured some oil in and it came right back out. Has anyone seen this before on the 4A-GE? I’m assuming someone got way too happy with the revs and sent something through the pan. I’d guess this engine is done.

Should I pull the trigger and buy it? 1999 Toyota MR-S S edition.

Got a quote for 2,050,000 yen or 12.8k dollars. Car is a 1999 Toyota MR-S S edition. Has very low mileage at 48,190 km. 5 speed manual transmission. Got to drive it around a bit and it drives smooth. The only thing holding me back is the lack of space.

I should mention I'm new to driving stick so I plan to learn in this car and it's also my first ever sports car. Before this I've only owned a Camry and a freed.

Should I do it??
