THIS GUYS MR2 (no PIctures sorry)
THis is what he wrote me...

did you get the upgrades in your car if you get all that fixed i wont even ask for any money for my mr2 i am trying to find the digital camra but i have to wait for my dad to come back. if you want you can call my cell at 630 742 1556 or you can come over and see it if you want i live in west chicago or i can come by wherever you live with it

i will just give you a mod list now not that big but just got a new motor in
* intergraded headlights (previous owner messed the pop ups bad)
*border body kit (front bumper was cracked also by previous only reason i got the body kit but looks good)
*1998 jdm taillights( alot of money )
*1994 jdm motor with 42k miles on it
*custom 3" downpipe and exhaust by sound performane and has a apaxi n1 muffler(real not ebay crap)
*blitz chipped stock ecu (came with engine clip it is amazing!)
*cold air intake(put in with swap)
*17x7 tenzo r passion 5's black with a chrome lip(2 year warrenty on them)
*kenwood cd player
*momo shift knob and carbon boot(the interior is literally flawless the only thing bad is the sterring wheel)
only thing you will have to fix
* the hood needs to also be replaced but even from toyota they are not that much
*alternator(if i dont witch i may very soon
*2nd gear is not the best condition works fine but in high rpm's grinds if you do it to fast,have not seen anything wrong with anything else on this car
*could use a paint job because of the body kit but car is white so it does not look bad

o ya and if it matters i am rediculious when it came to this car so i changed the oil sometimes before 1000 miles (not the filter did that every 1500 to 2000) but i did not put any miles on it so i changed the oil 1 time because it had the japanease oil for a day
i also changed the trans oil but you may want to try changing it again alot of mr2 people on toyotanation said the oil can make it grind (kinda weird but may work i have heard of it workign on some of sp's supra's as well)
also did a spark plug change yay!
will trade this car most likly even it can sell for alot more but i hate when people demand money on there side (just because it is a mr2 does not mean it should be a ton of money it is 1 year younger then your dsm (technically)

it is running stock boost 12.5 and i forgot to tell about the turbo...derr it is a ct26 BUT it has been rebuild and board to a 50trim also has new exhaust wheels(wheel'S incase you dont know about the mr2 ct26 it has 2 for faster spool up spools about full at 3000rpm used to spool at around 2000 but it is alot bigger now) on it, it is white, and yes i have the recipts in the glove box from sp

I personally wouldn't get it. I like MR2's and everything, but this one sounds messed up. Body kit and a bunch of shit needs replaced. I think he's trying to trade away this one b/c of the problems.

I agree. It sounds like your car is in much better condition than his.

They're fun cars, but it sounds like you'd be happier in a f-body or some other muscle car.

If your car was a GSX, i'd say don't trade, but considering you're FWD (like me.. sucks) I'd take the MR2 for a test drive, maybe have a mechanic check it out and decide. I haven't driven one, but i've been for a ride in a HEAVILY modified MR2 and boy what a rush.. the engine sounds coming from behind your back is weird but cool and that small light car haul's ass.

 

[qiklitltsi]

no they are hard to work on and he seems like he is trying to take advantage of you

 

[OverBoostinGST]

So you guys think I shouldnt do it? Couldnt I trade it and put a hood on it and just sell it for more? He says the ct26 turbo is bored out? Can you even bore a turbo out to a 50 trim?

I hadn't heard of boring out a turbo, but I guess they can. Here's a pretty good write up on that turbo: http://www.alltrac.net/tuning/turbo.html

I'm not sure about how much those cars are worth but you should check ebay and see how much they are going for. You could probably find a MR2 or Toyota forum and find out how much they're worth too, something similar to the "What's this DSM worth?" thread.

Keep The Dsm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fwdturbobov1996]

oh hell no. Your car is in much better condition

 

[vr4gasmtt]

Keep your car. I mean sure the MR2 may look better, and the whole mid engine sounds nice, but they don't handle good at all in snow, and are bad in the rain. I know your not AWD, but still. Your car has potential to be faster and still handle better in rain/snow.

Not to mention its easier to work on.

But if you really want an MR2, I'd stay away from that one and buy a stock one. Preferably a 93+, they had better trannies w/ none of that grinding/notchy feeling. I also believe they came with an LSD. And they look better.

If you can work on a DSM, you can work on anything, its just harder because you have to lift the MR2 and pull the engine from under the car to get the engine out. But if its a healthy car, and it doesn't rain/snow that much in your area, you got yourself one fun RWD car.

*edit* okay I just noticed the guy has a 94 jdm tranny in the mr2. I would still stay away from the car. But something stock, you always know whats done to it. It really all comes down to what you want really, but just make sure if you get it you get reciepts of everything.

 

[OverBoostinGST]

Ya im going to keep my car after these couple days of thinking about it , I know ill regret it if I do
