FS: [WA] 1993 MR2 Hardtop with 1996 GEN3 Turbo Engine
Well as every usual story of an mr2 owner begins, I really dont want to sell it... But I have my reasons and someone else can now take the pleasure. I am only advertising on this forum for now because i would like it to go to another mr2 lover, someone who appreciates the car. Saying that, i want it gone asap, so i dont have to deal with the feeling of its going... Ive been stalling for a year... So here it is:
1993 MR2 Hardtop with 1996 GEN3 Engine

Bad:
Small oil leak - I think from HFH. Though no oil is required until every service.
Slight noise from Air intake when accerlating hard - Loose, just needs 2nd mount fastened.
Rear Right bearing needs replacing - hence it makes noise when driving. No movement in wheel, i would say its lubricant has gone on the bearings - to fix that you need to replace the bearing.
Idle - While it was tuned, i had to manually install a Idle Control Valve mechanism. I just leave it at the one setting and its fine. When Air con is on it adjusts fine. If you place the stock Gen3 ECU (which is included in sale) in, the Idle Control Valve works as normal and no mechanism required.
The car has power and is great to drive. It turns many heads and sounds great. The car was only used on the weekends and was garaged the rest of the time. With the eng swap, a form can be submitted to change engine number. I just left it as the eng number location is in a ridicoulous location that cannot be read. Price - $10400 ono.
No timewasters, lowballers or tyre kickers... I will do the test driving until you prove your wanting it. PM me if your interested. Located in 6027 - Perth.
