Another factor is if it has 100k and its a 2nd car then you won't be putting many miles on it, running a 100k car as a daily and you might run into some maintenance issues.
I run mine as a 2nd car with 90k on it, and i put 3k a year on it so i dont worry about it.

Trouble is £2100 for a rev 1 is a lot really id want it to be spotless for that, the 50k miles would concern me too. Sounds like a cheap project but someone has given up (the 3x gauges not wired up and the fact its on a jack at the front in the pic). Might be ok and worth ringing him but if it needs...

The nay sayers are usually the ones who wished they had bought a turbo, like any car of this age it will require some maintenance but in my experience of 3 mr2 turbos i dont find them unreliable at all. The main problems i've had are sticking brakes and worn suspension components which are easy enou...

Take your time and like said before you can find a decent rev 1 Or 2 for 1500, glad you didn't hand any money over lucky escape , at best you would probably have to break it to recover the money provably hassle you don't need.

Watch this im about to be made a fool, when he reveals a 2 grand turbo kit.

Wouldnt touch that with a barge pole, looks like a right mish mash and will turn into a money pit.
also, the front picture next to a hammer and crowbar, brilliant

Dont bother with the HKS filter either, Just use a toyota or pattern part and save the money

Its easy done this today, when i fitted new clocks, not sure if its the easiest way but works every time. Take the speedo out of the cluster, take the needle off, undo the 2 small screws holding the plastic to the speedo mechanism and split them apart, take the odometer part and from the front caref...

Get a 160mph speedo face from a UK car and put it into your turbo clocks, easiest way

The GPS method worked for me in the end, just hold it at 30 while your mate sticks the needle back on (safety), we put it back on so it overread by a couple of mph like most speedos do.

a bit of soapy water wont hurt it :/, probably gets a lot worse in a rain storm, if that bothers you take it off only four bolts

Jack car up and check that your brakes are not binding, if there not go take it for the wheels balancing, most of the time its one of them 2.

If its a 2nd car and your over 25 try classicline.
I'm 27 , no points or accidents they dont use no claims on a classic policy so you can Lump them on your main driver.

Thanks for the replies folks, ill be able to take it for a trip round the block a couple of times inbetween so should be fine hopefully. Just want to keep it off road for a few months to keep the rust away and give me some time to save up for next years goodies

If I store it without stands, can I just get the wheels rebalanced when I put it back on the road or will it ruin the tires?

I have managed to sort out a garage to store my mr2 for the winter, its a heated double garage so will be well protected.
Other than disconnecting the battery is there anything else i need to do to ensure it will be ok again when i bring it out next spring. It will be stored october > april

No they can't , the toyota ecu cannot be reprogrammed. Full standalone or piggy back unit required.

Or get Pacific works to do it while it's on ramp

I wouldn't assume anything on these cars probably worth a bleed anyhow, I assumed my Cambelt was done on import, took it to be changed as a precaution, turned out it was the original belt 85k miles and 20 years old. Start with the easiest thing.

1. Get it replaced as a precaution if you have no history, doesnt cost that much.

2. id bleed the brakes first run plenty through. see if that helps. its not a light car really.

3. no idea
