I will do any generation, but I really want a MkII. If it's a MkII, I really want a turbo, and T-Tops helps too! MKIII's are great as well. I like Yellow, Red, Black, and the Dark Blue. Gonna have to be manual.

I'm in the Colorado Area, 81003.

My car has 136k~ on chassis, and 49K~ on engine. Is still driven often, so miles may increase slightly. Car is in excellent running order, and just really looking to downsize. I'd really like a MR2 + Cash, if someone can do.

GIve me a call at (719) 406-0718.

It knocked me forward about 15 -20 ft (I had the clutch in and wasn't on the brakes). I was far enough in front of the truck to where he could easily see me out his windshield had he been paying attention, so I stopped the car right there and began to get out and approach him. As I had stepped one foot out of the car and began standing, he hit me again!!! Anyway, I got an estimate today... $5901.76. This SUCKS cuz that will definately total my car out, and I love my car. It is a '94 n/a 5speed in really good shape and I know I won't be able to find one as nice for what the insurance company will give me when they total it out. I am soooo bummed right now. I wanted a second gen MR2 since I was 15 (I'm now 28), and I FINALLY found a nice one and bought it and now its totalled!!! So I pose the question: "Now what?" I owe $$ on it, so I can probably buy it back and pay it off, but I won't have the money leftover to fix it and its still a salvaged title 15 yr old car that I can't get full coverage insurance on, so I am probably better off looking for a different one (which I won't find for NADA retail or whatever the insurance bastards will pay me). I could find someone to bid it REALLY low and fi it as I go. I could use the $$ to pay it off and the rest of the $$ as a down payment on a 370Z (or insert any other newish cool car, that's just the first one that comes to mind), but I don't really want a big payment. Open to suggestions.

But has anyone cut stock springs on there 91 2nd gen?

If so, how much of a drop? How much did you cut off? and how much of the spring rate it change?

I know it's stupid and many people are against it, but if a slight cut will improve the handling and lower the car, I may do it. ]]> NA - 5S-FE/3S-GE mattdouken http://www.mr2.com/forums/na-5s-fe-3s-ge/Toyota-MR2-47120-cutting-springs.html http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-1-cars/Toyota-MR2-47119-1986-mr2.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:36:52 GMT I was going to part this out, but dont really want to - 1986 mr2 I hit a deer ( and headlight was up - see damage in pics- it is fixable, hood fender , and light bucket, damage, before accident , car ran great, shifted fine, used no oil or coolant, 187000 miles 1.6 engine 5sd,AC Cruise control etc ( leather seats(seats not in great shape) ,power windows and mirrors, factory radio still works great, car was in excellent cont,no cracks in dash ! , you can still drive as is, , has 4 new tires ( about 5000 miles on them, I need to get $1000 for car, price is firm,it is located in southern nj , zip 08319, WILL NOT PART OUT - Dont have time, - You can if you want , the power windows setup alone is an easy 300, rear visor and pillars 200, engine and trans 500, has new battery EXhaust is less than 1yr old , Everthing on this car works,you could get in this car and drive it anywhere, - if you want to repair car- IT HAS A CLEAR TITlE AND VALID INSPECTION (not a salvage title) $1000 come get it Pictures by edtoyota - Photobucket (http://s403.photobucket.com/albums/pp116/edtoyota/) thanks ed I was going to part this out, but dont really want to - 1986 mr2 I hit a deer ( and headlight was up - see damage in pics- it is fixable, hood fender , and light bucket, damage, before accident , car ran great, shifted fine, used no oil or coolant, 187000 miles 1.6 engine 5sd,AC Cruise control etc ( leather seats(seats not in great shape) ,power windows and mirrors, factory radio still works great, car was in excellent cont,no cracks in dash ! , you can still drive as is, , has 4 new tires ( about 5000 miles on them, I need to get $1000 for car, price is firm,it is located in southern nj , zip 08319, WILL NOT PART OUT - Dont have time, - You can if you want , the power windows setup alone is an easy 300, rear visor and pillars 200, engine and trans 500, has new battery EXhaust is less than 1yr old , Everthing on this car works,you could get in this car and drive it anywhere, - if you want to repair car- IT HAS A CLEAR TITlE AND VALID INSPECTION (not a salvage title) $1000 come get it Pictures by edtoyota - Photobucket thanks ed ]]> MK 1 Cars edtoyota http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-1-cars/Toyota-MR2-47119-1986-mr2.html http://www.mr2.com/forums/check/Toyota-MR2-47118-pictures-inside-turbo-my-second-mr2.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:50:51 GMT hey guys. my name is mark and now i own 2 mr2'z.

I think I might have devised a plan to swap a Honda motor into the MK1 that isn't just plain idiotic. I know how all of you purist have responded to this sort of inquiry in the past, and it wasn't pretty. You're free to flame me as you like, but I think my reasoning on this one is sound so hear me out.

ENGINE CANDIDATE: Honda Odyssey J35A6, 3,471cc 60* V6 with J32A2 Pistons

TRANNY CANDIDATE: Acura TL Type-S 6 Speed Manual

Reasoning:

• The J motor is cheaper (My friend has both motors, J32 & J35 sitting in his storage unit right now and he'll give them to me for a song)
• Guys over in the Honda crowd are swapping the J32A2 pistons out of the TL Type-S into these Odyssey motors (making the CR something like 11.8:1) and making 290hp at the wheels.
• It's intake manifold design is more conducive to MR placement, at least in the MK1 with less space than the MK2.... hopefully I can get it in without having to chop up a bulkhead
• The 6 speed, apart from the fact that I can get these motors very cheap and that they make great power, this is the main reason for choosing this direction
• The 6 Speed is a cable box so making it work in an MR vehicle shouldn't be too much trouble. The Evora isn't going to be coughing up the 6 speed for the GR anytime soon.... at least not for a decent price.
• The new TL Type-S motors have very nice inlet manifolds and they are a direct swap
• Piss people off
• Do something different
  

The plan is to buy the motors in the next few days and sit on them until the funds are accumulated to move forward on this. I plan on putting fresh bearings, rings, of course head gaskets, and a fresh hone on the motor.

I'll have to find a 6 speed for it, they can be found for about $600.

Megasquirt kit will be on it's way for Christmas and I'll get that up and going on the 4AGE first, but will have it on hand for the J motor.

My buddy swears up and down that he can get the original splines swapped onto modified TL axles for $200, so that's a big expense averted.

After that it's a handful (albeit are fairly large handful) of small expenses to get everything up and going.

Alright guys: flame away! ]]> Engine Swaps http://www.mr2.com/forums/engine-swaps/Toyota-MR2-47117-honda-engine-aw11-pitchforks-anyone-j35.html http://www.mr2.com/forums/na-5s-fe-3s-ge/Toyota-MR2-47116-best-plug-wires.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:19:25 GMT I'm buying new wires

I'm not really sure if it's normal or not. But my mr2 feels like the motor twisting or something like that. For example, when i pick my brother up from school, i'll be in first gear behind someone and if i let off the gas it slows down rather fast and not very smooth. And when i barely give it gas to speed up, it then feels like there is some sort of play in the rear end. Kind of like a go-kart with shocks in the back, if you ever drove one. Just feels like the back end picks up. I have TEIN adjustable shocks, so i know it's not the shocks being soft, cause they are really stiff. So what would cause something like this? I'm trying to explain it the best i can.
