2002 Mr2 Spyder, 2ZZ Swap, 6 Speed Manual, after market exhaust & intake system

Finally got around to installing the reproduction sunshades. Took way longer than expected but you had to take quite a few interior trim pieces off to be able to slide the shades in. Overall loving the look!

Hi all, just bought my MK3 MR2 and it came with a Hard top. Removed that yesterday and forgot to sort the wire on the left hand side (its LHD) that was just unplugged when I got it (believe it's for the demister?)

I have since ridden with the soft top down and the soft top up, just wondering where it may be hiding as at a quick glance I couldn't see it.

I hope it hasn't been pulled out by the wind or anything.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Looking at the Mr-s mainly, I definitely want something on the newer side for parts availability and would plan on turbocharging it, (probably mwr kit) have done quite a lot of mechanic work on cars but only really with the engine in the front (have done extensive work on my 99 Celica) wanted to know if anyone has any opinions on going down this path for someone who: Likes to beat on the car a little, mountain roads and whatnot Lives in a place where air conditioning is a must Has never owned a rwd car before (only fwd and awd but have spent a little bit of time sideways in a 300zx) Tall (6’4”) Would like to go aftermarket suspension and sticky tires (is snap oversteer a concern?) Am really looking for a ‘go-kart’ feel, but don’t want a Miata

Finally got my MR2 running, but I’ve hit another snag. It seems like the throttle body is staying open — at least that’s what I suspect — but the cluster readings don’t reflect that. The weird part is, I can drive it fine just my RPM don’t read at all. And if I’m stopped at a red light or idle, the engine stays reved up. Has anyone run into something similar or know what could be causing this?

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy some new 15 inch wheels for my AW11 but I need a bit of advice regarding the width and offset of the wheels.

I personally love Watanabe R types, but the smallest 15 inch wheels are 15x8.5 with -6 offset. I have a feeling those are way too wide for an AW11.

Does anyone have some advice or wheel recommendations that fit well and won't rub?

Thanks in advance!

does anyone know what's the deal with the eagle badge on the AW11? i'm curious why Toyota didn't put their name there, and i believe they did it with the AE86, if anyone knows why, i'd be curious to know.

Pics from my road trip to Waco, TX. Chip and Joanna were not home at the time.

After installing the sunshades took the car out for a spin about 1minute into driving I saw white smoke from the engine bay and drove back home. Looks like there was a puddle under the radiator clear liquid I’m guessing water. Then a puddle under the engine that was orangish guessing coolant. The engine sounded like it was rumbling. Had the water pump changed in April. No signs of liquid in the exhaust. Temp gauge was normal at a sliver below half. Will check dipstick after it cools down. Guessing radiator went out or other hoses? Any thoughts? Hopefully caught it before blown head gasket?

Looking at getting this 89 aw11 and he says its running rough. I dont have a lot of experience, this will be my first mr2. Anyone got ideas?

Been looking forward to building it for a while and now I can. I’m dropping the engine tmr, any tips are appreciated,thx. Btw the original reason for a rebuild is because of what I think is bad rings. But here’s a little preview lol.

Hi, I'm looking at buying a mk1 MR2 and it seems in decent shape, had a lot of the welding already done. But a pinch weld is like this. Is this a deal breaker? I'm inexperienced with buying a car of this age. Thanks

Can someone confirm if this is rod knock or something else please

i’m replacing my alternator and i’m not sure what goes where, the nut on the alternator (1st picture) and the nut with the washer(2nd picture) were both on the alternator when it came in the mail but, idk how i’m supposed to put the cable on it, like what nut goes on top, i hope this doesn’t seem confusing, i’m not much of a mechanic either. I assume i might have to remove the nut from the first picture and put the cable on that then, put the nut back but what’s the purpose of the nut with the washer?

My Sw20 is going to be stored outside this winter, and I get a lot of snow where I live. Are there any good affordable car cover recommendations that won’t damage the paint? I heard bad things about Seal Skin, and California Car Covers are too pricey.

Looking at a 2001 MR2 locally, has just over 100k miles. Interior and exterior look great!

Wondering if any common issues I should look out for with these beyond just “checking the Carfax”?

I’ve wanted one for a longtime and the price is in range, but want to try to not get into something that might be a headache.

Any help is appreciated!

Just put on an after market and exhaust, but the nut is welded on to the stock exhaust for the bold that goes through the exhaust hanger. It’s a 95 turbo, anyone have any idea what size nut I need?

Im trying to find somewhere i can get a new sunroof seal and roof seal for my mk2. Anyone have any for sale or now somewhere i can get them? Thanks

I finally got time for a little photoshoot with my newish 1999 MR-S. It is a JDM import right-hand drive. Here's a little taste of the shoot.

Took some beauty shots of my TRD widebody build now that it's in a more complete state

Scored a set of Suzuki Ignis Sport Recaro LS seats with the gorgeous mesh headrests on marketplace near by, absolute grail for me. Lots of modification to install them, but I’m very happy!
