After 6 months booting myself around in a corolla I've finally booted it out via the trading post and got myself a 90 MR2 GT.

Only thing I've done to it was remove the flaming wing :burnout:

Hurrah! Hope to catch up with u guys soon.

UPDATE: New piccies taken of the 2:

goes damn hard in 1st and 2nd. Prolly why the standard car has those really low 0-100 times. But thats about it.

3rd, 4th, 5th...... brisk at best.

I got the CT26 turb.... so its bigger. It seems turbos got really small in factory cars in the mid 90s.... the rexies, mr2s and even the skylines got smaller, or more plastic-like turbos in the mid90s which is more responsive but cant be boosted up or are really high boost to begin with. :burnout:

Spiderman still has the R33... and my other friend still has my old turbo lude, so its like I never sold any of them I saw the prelude just yesterday (he's the guy that also took my wing off) and saw the line last week.

Your right about turbo cars in the mid 90's. That was a bid to try to get rid of turbo lag. 90's MR2 is the way to go.

But don't brake too suddenly in mid-corner cause some motoring journalsts found that it swaps ends very suddenly.

Yeah the last few days I experienced my first drive in it in the wet. I got to say you can call it skating on ice.

If I knew what I was doing this thing would be hella fun! Swing that ass around :P baby!

So when do the mods start :P  And it looks dam hot without that dam huge ass wing.

Mods? :eek1: No mods for me! I'm a factory stock kinda guy now :uh-huh:

If the turbo goes or stuff like that, then I'll probably go aftermarket but at the moment everything is running nice and its quite brisk in low revs which is what I want anyway.

Cheers!

Hey if my family moves away as they plan to and I don't need more seats anymore I'm in the market! I love MR2's always have, wanted one so bad but bought the R32 for the extra seats, sold the 32 wanted an MR2 and bought a 180 less seats but still more than two, sold the 180 wanted a MR2, but bought another 180...

Meanwhile my mates got this look on his face like, "YEH BABY :O this is my car!!" while I'm in the passanger seat going "ARGH!!!!! It's mine dammit!!!!!! MY credit!!! not urs!!!! :mad:" hehehe felt pretty good though that someone complimented my car. She wasn't too bad either!!!

I can't wait till mine is finished in Blue with white wheels and lowered to just that "perfect" height.......... *drool* ARGHHHH!! I need money!!!!!!!!!!

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
