*edit*
I was informed of a pretty bad typo, the engine has *not* got any impending issues. I had written it did have impending issues by accident. Apologies
*edit2* 
Pictures have been added
 
Model: AW11 MR2 - hardtop

Year: 1988
Colour: White  
Kms: 188xxx  
 
I'm moving overseas, cannot hang onto my much loved MR2 unfortunately. My loss is your gain, catch yourself an unusual hardtop supercharged AW11 :)
Location: Brisbane, Queensland

History: Purchased this off Bustin back in 2013. Not a huge amount of history known before that, you'd have to dig up his old posts :)

Modifications: Nevo Pulley, Converted to new aircon gas, replaced dash speakers with nice jaycar splits, lightweight flywheel, evo clutch, bc gold coilovers, 17" rims, alarm + immobiliser. Twosrus front end goodness (will put up details when I remember them).

Overall condition: Good. Exterior is starting to show its age and paint is beginning to craze. Some minor dings. I believe it has been repaired on the LH door in the past as the paint is aging differently. Glass is also scratched. Interior is pretty good overall

Other Info: Since owning the car I have had the gearbox repaired by Hart Transmissions, who replaced damaged sychros and welded a crack in the box. They also fitted a lightweight flywheel and evo clutch rated to ~350hp. Air con has been converted to new gas, but the compressor sounds broken, would suggest it be replaced. Had the alternator fail, and this has been repaired along with the o'rings on the distributor (had the dreaded oil leak issue). S/C was recently replaced with a lower KM (<100xxx km AE101 SC) when mine failed. Also have replaced all the ball joints in the last few months. I lost the ABV along the way so it's ~13psi boost now. Motor makes a light rattling noise when cold but I have been told in the last 12 months by the mechanic there was no impending issues.
 
Aiming to sell this car with a roadworthy, if I am unable to obtain this will update thread with reasons for failing it, and offer the opportunity to renegotiate my asking price taking that into account.
 
Price: $6,500 neg 
Contact: Best way to get me is PM here, with mobile details and I'll call you.
 
I will update with pictures tomorrow hopefully.

Was informed of a pretty bad typo, ad was meant to say 'last 12 months by the mechanic there was no impending issues.'
 
Not that issues were impending. Updated. Hopefully people see this update..

You should have got slightly more boost with that SC12 as well, since it is the MAP GZE SC12 with 120mm pulley instead of the 125mm you would have been running before.

Here's some quick and dirty pictures.
 
Apologies for the slow update, I'm finishing up my job next week and have been snowed under trying to get ready to go.
 
It's booked in for a roadworthy assessment next thursday so I'll know then if anything needs to be addressed.

Just had it assessed for a roadworthy, the following issues caused a fail:
Rear engine mount
Engine oil leak (he is pretty sure it's the tappet cover)
Brake clips
Some interior pieces not installed, which I already have.
 
So that should be pretty easy to sort providing I can find the rear engine mount.

As promised, interior pictures! I'm not one to toot their own horn, but for a 26 year old car it's in pretty great condition!
 
Black interior! I think the white balance might be a bit off in some of these photos. Would be fairly negotiable on price if someone wants to sort roadworthy themselves :)
