Post your winter MR2 project

[4agzeSE]

So what plans do you have for your MR2 this winter? Care to share with the rest of the family?

Mine plans are to search for my original MOMO steering wheel and shift nob that came with the car from the factory. Let's see how long it will take to find these two
I would also like to find a clean stock looking intercooler cover. Mine is very clean and looks awesome but I have painted it black and red. I am trying to go for the all stock car now. I also will be getting rid of the red intercooler hoses in my engine bay. Anyone want to swap their OEM black "set up" with my red setup?


So let us know what you are planning on doing to your MR2 this winter!

lucky you Matt, your '2 gets to rest in the winter!

mine is serving as my work horse until I have a place to store it and find a beater..

I think my 2 will stay projectless this winter. Just let her have a nice long rest over the winter

What you should be doing is thinking of ways to make enough power so that I won't completely spank your ass at next years Mission drags!!

How about getting an engine put in?.. or taking it off the jack stands? lol.


I'm looking to put mine to sleep this winter. Want to find an old beater truck if I can. Toyota all the way. Gonna get some tires and an allignment for my car for next summer. If I walk into a pit full of cash too, i'd love to do that berk downpipe. I think i could use some pads too.

How about
Get the engine finished and ready to put in and then order all new brake and fuel lines from me before they go disconinued on you. Maybe caliper rebuilt kits too. Wait do you even have calipers on her?

Well, my non-MR2 winter project needs;

- something done with the exhaust that hits the rear crossmember
- something done with the exhaust that makes it sound better/go faster
- clear the airbag light from when I took the dash off
- clear the EGR code that I've had for months
- look into some winter tires
- try to space out my Volks to see how much room I need to clear my brakes, and decide if I can use some spacers
- move the battery to the trunk and glass in the new sub box arrangement

I might put the a parts car engine in mine and try to aircare it. if it pass's aircare i'll work on the body work and get it on the road next year hopefully
