Hey all,
After 7 years of owning this amazing car, I have said good bye to it.
Don't stress, I didn't crash it - it was sold as I'm looking at buying a house.
But first, let me tell you my story...as I need some closure lol :)
Back in 2007, when I was still in my last year of school, my brother bought the car and I immediately fell in love with it. He joined the army a couple months after buying it, so I was left to 'look' after it while he was away. Driving it to school and around town, I loved it so much I convinced him to sell it to me.
So there I was, 17yrs old, with a 1990 SW20 MR2 that had the NA 3sge engine. I had
absolutely no idea about the car at the time, despite a mechanical background, had to learn so much in order to work on it.
In 2007.
I then spent the next 7 years - along with blood, sweat and tears - modifying it.
The main modifications were the 1994 Gen 3 3sgte (that I put in after a year of owning it), along with rims, custom built intercooler, gen 3 taillights and much more.
This car has been part of my life for so long it feels strange knowing I no longer own it.
I have loved it, hated it, cursed it, spun out in it, raced it, driven it like a grandma, made out in it, got naked it in, thrown up in it and slept in it.
I have washed it, polished it, been defected it in, loved it, hated it and loved it again.
It taught me to respect the mid-mounted engine, the cornering capabilities and the gen 3 3sgte engine. It punished me when I went too far and rewarded me when I drove it well.
I learn so much about this car, and when I though I knew everything, it would teach me something else.
I had dreams of building a 350rwkw monster, with a 2.2 engine, all the works and a massive turbo. I never got to that stage, but I look back and think my Gen 3 3sgte with bolt-on's was perfect.
And after 7 years of owning it, I'm not too sure if I ever really did own it.
It was more of a relationship.
All I can say is it was the best car I have ever bought, and probably will ever buy.
Adios MIDN1T3.
