Black 1992 J reg MR2 Mk2 Rev2 G-Limited T-bar

Post by Pauln »

I will hopefully be putting my 1992 J reg MR2 Mk2 Rev2 G-Limited T-bar up for sale in May (2015) when I get my turbo back on the road, so just just testing the water now summer is on the way.

Imported 2004 with 60,000km on the clock (Bimta cert available)
Owned since 2006, it still only has 117,696km on the clock at the moment (aprox 73,133 miles), but this will increase a bit as it's currently my daily drive.

8 years service history to backup current mileage

White Lockwood dials fitted to convert to MPH, but odometer still reads Kms

Rev3 rear light conversion with quad light conversion with inner pair doubling as brake and rear fogs.
Turbo Engine lid

Apexi air filter, custom metal induction pipe and oil catch can
Magnex Stainless steel exhaust
Rev5 alloy wheels

Cusco front brace
Momo millenium steering wheel

Folding mirrors
Steering front fogs
Active 8 speaker system with Kenwood CD/MD/radio
Vibe door speakers and tweeters
Pioneer rear speakers
original subs with crossover fitted between subs and rear speakers

Toad AI 606 alarm
Fully working climate controlled aircon

Full service and MOT October 2014
4 new Toyo proxies fitted December 2014

New coil and plug leads fitted April 2015
Replacement Igniter fitted April 2015

Cam belt changed at 82,000km
Clutch changed at 105,619km
New hand brake cable at 102,175km

Engine excellent, pulls well
Gearbox is generally good, but syncro is a bit weak on second gear
Bodywork is generally solid but needs a bit of tlc to paintwork
Underneath clean for year
odd rattle from suspension over bumpy roads
interior very tidy
original seats no tears or rips
Alacantra door cards

At one time I was thinking of using it as a track car so fitted harness points to engine firewall, but never got around to it in the end as I really can't afford to run this and the tubby.

Exterior and engine bay photos updated April 2015 following wash and polish

I'd be shocked if it didn't it's always been very reliable, and in fact I drove to Nottingham and back this weekend which is a round trip of 300 and odd miles from Cardiff and she didn't miss a beat. :D

I'll have a root around but I don't think I've any photos of underneath and unfortunately don't have a ramp or pit. But I'll check.

Never had any problems with the passenger side t-bar seal, and only the odd small drip from the front corner of the driver's side in heavy rain.

Most of the time second is fine, but sometimes if you change down in a hurry you can get the odd crunch as it engages.

It's a May 1992 JDM MR2 G-limited tbar with a 3SGE 2000CC 16-VALVE DOHC EFI engine which I think makes around 158 bhp but I'm not sure.

The only advisories on the last MOT were:

Rear brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously damaged.
Had the rear brakes checked by my garage and was told pads and disks were fine an there was nothing to worry about.

Rear tyres close to legal limit
New tyres have now been fitted all round

Under trays fitted
That comes up every year as it obscures some components and they don't want to remove them

o/s/f and o/s/r wheels have slight drag when rotated


I bought a turbo around this time last year, so didn't use the N/A much last summer and was planning on putting it up for sale late last year.

Unfortunately a kind lady re-arranged the rear of my new turbo, which resulted it being off the road for repairs for the last 3/4 months, and I went back to using the n/a as my daily drive.

Hopefully repairs to my turbo should be completed towards the end of April (2015), so once it's back on the road my intention is to put the N/A up for sale as I can't really afford to run both of them, much as I'd like to.
