Back to an MR2! - is this your old car?

Post by ioa1980 »

After around 3 years of owning a 1997 Red top Impreza STI, I've come back to MR2 ownership.

Previous was a 1992 Tubby tin-top, this time its an N/A t-bar. 102k miles and I can't find any rust on it.

2/3 previous owners were 'Owners club' members...which club I am not sure!

Just spent the last two hours under the rear of the car with a tube of Autosol and loads of elbow grease to bring the Mongoose exhaust back to life!!!

:D

Nothing major as yet - removing the rear grill will be done soonish.

Brakes will be upgraded at some point

Eventually, when the engine goes pop, I'm aiming to take it for a v6 conversion to woodsport.


I'm looking to give it a good wash and shine at the minute though....When it stops raining! :pray:
