finally im a MR2 owner!!

[Ms Croft]

I am finally an MR2 owner!!! (bought one yesterday!)

ok ok.. so i was GOING to buy a revision 3 turbo BUT for various reasons.. (not insurance but just that i couldnt find a newish MR2 turbo they were all 1992-5).. so i ended up buying a newer 1999 t-bar, uk spec, mk2 MR2 2.0litre 16v.

im very pleased with it as its immaculate, and only has 42k on the clock.

this is the only photo i have of it at the moment as its still at the garage (waiting for the logbook to arrive) and paperwork etc.. yawn yawn!

hopefully i will be picking it up in the next 2 weeks, and then i will take some better photos and post them up. cant wait to get my hands on it!!

certainly guna be more fun than driving a pug 206 lol!

ha ha! i know dale.. but i was weighing up all my options! lol

and i wasnt planning on getting a red one, just that i cant fell in love with this one when i saw it!

and the garage is taking my pug in as part ex which helps becoz i didnt manage to sell the darn thing on autotrader.

and modifications.. not sure! will have to wait and see how the bank balence looks when ive paid for the MR2, which at the moment a dare not look at

would like some bigger exhausts on it for a start! and the alloys and tyres are new, so not sure about changing them, they are not really my type of alloys but i think they look nice

Go for the cheapest mod so far - some IMOC stickers from Luke +10bhp surely !

After that get some clear side repeaters (ones on the side of the car by the door) - you can buy aftermarket or MrT sells them for the celica and they fit straight on ! - orange side repeaters and Red car don't go !

two mods for about £25 ! - sorted !

Clear repeators and front indicators were my first mod, makes a real difference. I like to be more practical too, so make sure everythings in tip top condition. Oil & Filter change, Air filter, spark plugs and HT leads and maybe a coolant change. Oh and get the sills injected with waxoyl

She (the cat's mother ) already has clear fronts so that's already "sorted"

if this car is from a main dealer I would get them to throw all of the above in for free !... BUT I wouldn;t replace the OEM HT leads - only a rev5 so should be in tiptop condition.

what's the Waxoyl injection business ? intrigued

[Ms Croft]

well the car is getting its MOT done before i have it, and a full service and valet, so it should be in tip top condition!

hmm you have me thinking about those clear side repeaters now, my sis got some for her gen 6 celica, so should i order the same ones if they are the same fit?

Waxoyl is basically a rustproffing treatment I did my car last year, injected the sills, removed the boot carpet and did the whole boot/wings. You can buy a kit from halfords, it's messy stuff but well worth it It sprays on in liquid form, then kinda sets to a wax, but will never dry completely...

i got my clear side repeaters from funkystyling.co.uk for £15

yes same fit.

Shaf... are the funkystyling ones Jewel or clear ? - regular clear side ones may go better with a standard rev5 clear oem front's
