My2

Hey guys thought I'd share my pride and joy with you
Bought it a while back in June from a fellow forum member and has been nothing but pure pleasure since

It's a 1990 mr2 manual with a gen 2 3sge had a full head reco haven't done a compression test but I would say its awesome especially since when I changed the oil last I ran a full compression restorer detox trough it and drained the oil (absolute **nt to get the oil filter out)
Bought a drift magnetic core filter only because it has a socket on the tip of it to tighten it makes life heaps easier.
Running liqui moly mos2 oil seems really good/ was running royal purple 15-40 but was a bit expensive

Was completely stock bar the rims and panel filter

Since then
I have picked up some rims from a mate to have the gtr/gtst staggered set up, custom made the hub rings out of steel as I couldn't get any

Installed a weapon R secret cai which finishes at the gills and wrapped the alloy piping with some insulation I had- awesome intake

Had a 2.5 inch hi flo cat installed for a hundred cell it's not drony at all then had a 2.5 inch custom made mandrel bent exhaust as the old one was 2 inch press bent and rusting out- made huge difference in terms or power, weight... And noise lol

Installed 8.8mm top gun ignition leads good spark plugs

New fuel filter

Short shifter

Wideband O2 sensor, lc1 box and afr gauge

About to have an apexi safc installed and tuned not sure what it will put out I'm hoping ATM 95-100 atw and when it's done in th hundreds

Things I'd love to be done bottom end rebuild hi comp forged pistons and rings eagle light rods head studs and bearings

And that would be about it maybe. Cams but I'm happy with it now

Having coilovers delivered this week hopefully BC BRs :)

Apart from that absolute awsome car owned a Celica before it and I thought that was good :p heheh

I baby my sdub so much my missus is getting jealous heheh not too mention I nearly spend more money on the sdub then her

Any questions just ask away

    Just need to do thermostat, coolant then gear/ diff oil change and complete service done :)

    Currently waiting on a service manual for her

    No problems bar some dry suspension bushings no leaks nothing apparently the rear main may need attention soonish but I've had no problems as yet fingers crossed. For 224xxxkms
    4250$ that I paid was a bargain

    Welcome mate
    Hmm very nice description sounds like one of the very few good examples of 1990 SW20s, then again it was from a forum member so I guess it should show the care of a previous enthusiast owner. Also a bargain!! Not only did I pay a bit more, I had a host of problems lol
    Very nice set of wheels as well but I'm biased because I have them too hehe
    Let us know how the tune goes, 95-100 rwkw would be awesome!

    I shall do I haven't had a run on the dyno so no idea what she puts out but se still has awsome compression so hopefully it's close to stock power

    Ill update it once tune is finished 3rd of December it's booked for
    Hehehe oh really :p I love the wheels they have changed colour quite a lot tho :p

    Great choice of car. When you make your way to the track you will find a few guys with the same set up so you can have a great time with cars of similar speed.
    If you make it to the club meet I may see you there. Might bring my MR2 along for a change.
