Rally Pat Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Well, I really don't want to do it... but I want to start a new project. So here she is, my autocross MR2. 1987 Toyota MR2 NA 177,xxx NEW PRICE: $1200 .:The Good:. Shortened intake (Cone filter and AFM) Suspension Techniques Adjustable Front Sway Bar Twos-R-Us Reinforced Sway bar end links Speed Source Brake Master Cyl Brace (Front firewall flexes without it) New Alternator installed when I bought the car MSD Blaster 2 Coil Bosch Iridium +4 spark plugs New Brakes all around, NAPA rotors (MR2 Owners Club recommends them) front pads: Porterfield Carbon/Kevlar Autocross Pads rear pads: Duralast Auto Zone pads New water pump, put in about a month ago or so New Thermostat, done at the same time as the water pump Coolant flush also done with the above Oil changed 2 weeks ago, Royal Purple 10W-30 Tranny Filled with Penzoil Synchromesh 4 Yokohama AVS ES 100 Tires, purchased between the First and Second Autocross events this year, I ran one event on them. .:The Bad:. There is a lot of rust on the body, around the usual places Toyotas get rust (rear wheels, corners, places like that). The last guy that owned it tried his hand at body work and did a horrid job. There are some spots that were bondo'ed at one point, and just broke off. When I blew the water pump, I may have blown the head gasket. It is fairly straightforward and simple to replace on these motors, I just dont have the time to do it. Its driveable, though. http://richard.safier.com/OVR/DriverSchool2007/target77.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/DriverSchool2007/target79.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/PE12007w/target81.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/PE12007w/target82.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/May%2027%20PE3/target400.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/May%2027%20PE3/target401.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/May%2027%20PE3/target402.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
