It is with great sorrow I find myself in a position that I have to sell my loved 1992 MR2 turbo. Due to massively changing work commitments and personal circumstances I can't keep this and a 'sensible' car... This MR2 has Cruise Control which is a Godsend on motorways and I have achieved 400miles cruising on a tankfull. Around 240 miles is my normal 'urban' range with a lot of boost.
I have had this car for around 7 years and it has been massively reliable. My daughter lives in Wales and I visit Newcastle-Upon-Tyne on a regular basis. It has never let me down. Saying that, I have spent many an hour ensuring it has been cared for... i.e. oil changes every month (£50 a tub, times 12 = £600/year on oil alone!!). This car has never wanted for anything. Most parts are from Toyota if available e.g. leads, seals, bolts, gaskets, paint, etc..
Performance wise, this car will keep up with Ferrari F430s and proven 400+bhp MR2s (up to ~90MPH) with natural ease. I have spent every effort in making sure it is stable AND reliable. It will eat most cars on the road today - the acceleration is awesome when the GT3071r boots in and the screamer screams. Off boost it is a gentle <ahem> 'civilised' drive.
The engine has NO rattles and has only had Mobil1 fully synthetic put in since its rebuild ~30k miles ago. A testament to the engine builder!! The body is rust free and has been garaged all its life in my possession. Chassis wise, it's stiff, but has no creaky bushes, springs, links etc.. NO rubbing wheel arches due to a painstakingly long hunt for PERFECT wheels - I dare you to find an MR2 with these awesome Japanese wheels on!! They were discontinued ~15 years ago, allegedly made by Hinodex of WORK fame.

This is a brief list of what is ON the car. Prospective buyers can also have a pick of my spares... Be warned though, you will need a van/estate car/large hatchback! I will list these in the next post - there is some rare stuff...! You could take it all and make a grand or so...
This sale is totally unexpected. A lot of my (elderly) neighbours have commented on how they will miss the car and everyone comments on how good the car looks. To demonstrate what a shock this is to me - this month alone I have bought an expensive Calcium battery (£100), 2 new 225/40*17" tyres (£180) and a new wheel bearing(£100 (found out the noise was a bent stone guard !!)). I have also just TimeSert'd the head to ensure the exhaust manifold is secure for a long time yet (what a job!!) and has had Toyota gaskets fitted at great cost.
I'm asking £3500 or very near offer.
Which is a bargain. The budget for this car has blown that four times over!! I will listen to sensible offers too.
The car will come with a brand new Fidanza FlyWheel and SARD 850cc injectors & clips to be fitted (was to be my next job) to ensure this drops the car into the 400+bhp category.
I live in Nottingham near junction26 of the M1, so nice and central for viewing. Please feel free to PM me at any time.
I feel tears coming on...

Don't suppose you would consider selling the roof rack and t-bar seals separately? If so, what kind of price would you be looking at?

I'm hoping on selling the lot as a whole Scott. If a buyer doesn't want anything I'll bung what's left in the 'For Sale' section....
...and there is So much more to list. A buyer will stand to make a tidy sum in parts alone.
Sorry Scott, but thanks for the interest.

Can't believe its happening genuine chap hope you get what you want for it pal
Re: [FINALIZED] Black High Power - High Spec Turbo... Lots to list! £3500!
Thanks for the comments guys.. It really is not a decision I took lightly.
And for the guys that have PMed. I promised some interior pics for today, however, not had chance. I'll get 'em up tomorrow. Sorry. Also, I'm not breaking it, or selling the spares until the buyer sees what they fancy.
Oh, and it's just had a clear cam cover fitted the week before last... Fancy forgetting that.
I will listen to any serious offers for this if you think I'm asking too much..

<sigh>
I'm unfortunately going to have to hurry things along.
I'm open to offers. Someone is going to get a bargain.
I need the space within the next seek or so...

Winter wheels project. Massively rare 17" staggered 3 piece rims.
IIRC.. 7.5jj and 8.5jj
I won't bore you with the name, they haven't been made for 20 years.
This has been stripped and primed... then over-painted.. But it is close to the effect I was trying to get. The rest will need stripping, painting & re-assemble.
The bolts for these alone are worth £250...

Re: [FINALIZED] Black High Power - High Spec Turbo... Lots to list! £3500!
Damn, damn, damn....
There's a LINK G3 ECU in there with the GTS-Chris Inlet temp probe. Mapped by Ryan for good economy on runs and good, safe power on boost..
Good god... I'm useless.
I don't think I've mentioned a full set of coilovers...

And it comes with the Road Angel as it's hard-wired in.
I will get pics of the standard seat for those who ask.

Re: [FINALIZED] Black High Power - High Spec Turbo... Lots to list! £3500!
That really is bl00dy cheap for the spec mate...I think it'd be sensible to sell some of those spares seperately though.
Good luck with the sale.

Re: [FINALIZED] Black High Power - High Spec Turbo... Lots to list! £3500!
Do some of the pics show the car with covers on the fog lamps or is it just the angle of the photo?
Can you clarify the situation with spares, are they included in the asking price if the buyer wants them or is there extra to pay?
Does the car come with clear corners or the orange / white ones?
