Hey everyone,

As you all know. I love MR2's! After driving my MR2 to work for many many years, I had to take it off daily duties. Was getting too expensive (clutches etc etc) & stressful to use such a modified car so often or depend on it. With 235,000km, I think it did its bid for king & country so deserved its retirement

After driving my Accord Euro & previous IS250 to work, I was getting bored. Needed to mix it up....Enter the AW11

Since I do a fair bit of driving, I was doing a lot of mileage on my Accord Euro (which I had up for sale). Looked & test drove a few JZX110 Mark II's, which are AWESOME cars. But was disappointed @ the price/condition given their age. Bottomline is, they all claimed 40k km, but prolly had more like 140k. Would've cost me another $15-17k on top of the Accord for a troublesome car. So decided to keep the trusty Honduh but reduce its useage & grab a cheap run-around. Dabbled with the idea of an Echo or Yaris (had to be Toyota), but then MR2 love took over when I saw this MR2 on ebay/Toymods.

Will be picking it up tonight [:p]









Details are:

1987 JDM import (arrived in 2007)
120,000km on the chassis (no rust anywhere)
AE101 4AGZE (changed in Japan) with less mileage than the chassis
Haltech E6X ecu
Full exhaust (ceramic coated extractors)
15x8 +25 OG wheels from JDM-Yard


Cheers,
Jay

man awsome looking car. nice and clean
so jealous now, damn you jai...

lovely jubblies

Looks great mate. Very clean!

Awesome. But how long until you realise you want to garage this one too.

Good to see its gone to a forum member. Saw it on ebay. Looks pretty tidy

good buy.. :D
will be a great fun runaround/daily.. :)

cool its something different as a 'G Supercharger' + Targa aswell. Targa top, but manual windows, no skirts etc is always a strange combo. :) shows how much the original owner wanted a targa over the other options for the money.. :)

89 wing too - bonus. :P

Very nice Jay

Wanna swap for a starlet?

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

MR2ns, there's lots of driving to be done before that happens. Want to enjoy it for a few years first on a near daily basis.

mr2pod, I'd have to thank the seller for that. There was actually higher offers, but he wanted to see the car goto an enthusiast rather than the punk kids that were looking to buy/destroy it.

RdS, I'm using the condition of yours as the inspiration for mine. Will hopefully have it nearly as clean as yours oneday soon. Yeah, a few people find the options strange. One of the Toymods dudes thinks it's a conversion, but I checked the build plate last night & it was a 4AGZE from factory. I didn't even realise until yesterday that it didn't have sideskirts. I actually kind of like it that way.

Shane, no thanks. But I will swap for that Supra of yours...hehehe
