What do you hate about mr2 ownership

[adam_ep82]

All pros aside, what annoys you most? Couple for me Is price of spares and lack of staggered wheel choice

[uglee]

Price of spares? These cars are amongst the cheapest to run right now. Just have a look at the amount been broken you can get virtually anything you need for a decent price. At the moment

My hate is the tin foil sills that rust like a Mk1. Will probably be responsible for the end of a lot of Mk2's.

[adam_ep82]

It's just things like rear calipers something I'd rather have new and I got a quote for a windscreen the other day because mine has cracked over winter £520

Position of Oil Filter on my Rev2 as my hands found out today lol.

Try a small local place instead then- iirc a replacement screen for my mk2 was ~£100 fitted- but you do need to shop around. The national firms quoted me similarly dumb prices to you...I think it's cos most of the work they do is on insurance, so get away with it.

I hate all the pointless debates about what's better- a v6 or a turbo

[Harold]

The lack of tyre selection in standard sizes.

[cvega666]

crap brake calipers.
fuel consumption (I know it's a 2 ltr, but come on!)

[JeffD]

The way the undertrays are attached - doesnt matter how careful I am every time I remove an undertray thats never been off before at east one bolt snaps even though its had wd40 on - grrrrr!!! How much would it of cost to either use plastic clips or at lesst stainless bolts (which is what I always put back)?

Ashtray has a light but not the glovebox???????!!!!!

As mentioned brake sliders seem very prone to stickyness

Industrial strength cable ties are the way forward

T Bar developing leaks, causing ice inside the car over winter.

This is why its best to get a import My 1994 import is rust free still

Rev1/2 oil filter problem can be solved with an oil filter relocation kit


The thing I hate is now that Im used to the power with bolt on mods it feels slow which means I want more power which is going to cost big money

[Steve Horrocks]

The fact that when you get rid of one, there's still that thing in the back of your mind that wants another one!!

I know what you mean, I want an M3 or Evo 8 but then I keep seeing my car in the car park and I dont think I could sell it

If its a gen2, you'd get 2nd degree burns - and you get 3rd degree burns on a gen3.

Bad joke, sorry

[JDM-MAT]

Frozen screen washers as there is no engine to keep the water warm.

I've a 97 import dude and it has been bitten by the tin worm. It can all depend on the life it has lived since import. But my sills were immaculate last year, this year there is holes coming through.

They nearly always rust from the inside out which means by the time it's noticeable it's nearly too late.

I used to hate cruising about and having no space for passengers, missed many a happy night

Try driving an evo mate, the mr2 turbo is mild in comparison,
