Hi Alan. When you say "89 MR2" is it an AW11 or SW20? Toyota produced and sold both models in 1989, although the second shape body model run is normally referred to as 1990 onwards to avoid confusion. This helps anyone who might offer help, or take pity on you with charity parts.
I have an AW11 and an SW20, both were made in 1989, with the AW11 being one of the last 800 produced, while my SW20 has a chassis serial number of 2000 and was manufactured in October of that year. While a bit confusing for registration authorities, the situation provides an opportunity for the driver to closely compare both vehicles as they are somewhat different in power and handling.
Also, in case you aren't aware, this Forum and the various MR Owner's Clubs in each state, although closely connected, are not the same. The Club in Queensland normally publishes its monthly Runs on the Forum and membership of the Club as an Incorporated Association costs $20.00 per year. The Club prides itself on keeping so-called "politics" to a bare minimum and our aim is to simply enjoy the cars.
We would welcome you coming on any Run to see whether or not you would like to join the Club, so keep watching the Forum for announcements.
Hope to catch up in person soon.
Walter
