(This thread will be more interesting when I can post photos.)I've owned five MR2s over the past 10+ years:
1986 aw11
(red/sunroof)1985 aw11
(red/sunroof)1987 aw11
(silver/t-top)1986 aw11
(red/sunroof)1992 sw20
(white/t-top/non-turbo)I still own the first one and the last one, plus a 1987 ae82 Corolla FX16 GT-S.
Even though the 16v 4AGE is a bit gutless by today's standards, I really enjoy the personality of the engine and the simplicity of working on it. Most of the work I've done has been on the first MR2 I purchased:4AGE stock, 195k miles
TRD engine mounts: front and rear
Koni adjustable struts
TRD suspension bushings
ST sway bars: front and rear
OEM front strut bar for sunroof cars
15x7
+35 Motegi Traklite wheelsQuaife AW11 quick ratio steering rack
PowerSlot rotors
Porterfield pads
87+ brake calipers and mounting brackets
Braided steel brake lines
87+ black headliner, etc.
(replaced the gray)TRD short shifter
Snap-Off street quick release steering wheel kit
89 LED wing
87+ front lip
---I re-joined this site mainly to find another Snap Off boss kit that seems to be more popular overseas.
Back in 2006 I posted looking for a OEM steering wheel, front turn signals and rear tail lights - which are all different from the stuff we got in the US. I bought them and still have them in my garage. Parts for MR2s seem to be a little harder to find, but it's good to know there's an international community out there.-Scott
