I posted this in OT, but thought I'd post here too to get more exposure I am just absolutely loving everything about this car, minus the cargo space, but who really needs that anyways

I bought this car about 2 weeks ago. The car is completely stock (minus things like the battery and tires) and had 105,500 miles on it when I bought it. That's less than half the life of this car, from what I've heard! The car is in pretty good condition for its age. There are obviously scratches in many places and a few rock chips here and there, but overall, it's in great condition, mechanically too.

Pics!




















I just can't stop looking at these pics!

 

nice.

 

race next weekend?

on a more serious note, i might be going to some meet in Carol Stream on sunday..it's at some shop called Suja out there. More info here (http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/2007278). Mostly Honda's I guess, but I might head down there if my friend goes.

 

My buddy just sold his EK B18 (LS) hatch for a first gen miata with a 1.8. No more honda-tech meets for him.

 

swap a 3sgte into that thing!

 

nice car. man those are one of the best MR2 toyota has put out! it must be good on gas too. is it the 4a or the 3sge? (i'm guessing the 4A since the redline is about 6250ish)

 

Non-Turbo MKII MR2 has a 5SFE engine.

The 4A are in the MKI models.

 

thats right i forgot about the 5sfe, good call!

 

The 4A's redline is 7.5k or 8k IIRC in a MKI.

 

i might do that a few years down the line. I'll do it whenever this engine dries up


Yea it's the 5SFE engine that's in similar year Camry's and Celica's and a few other cars...Power only really comes out after 4k RPM and that's something I wish I could change but, other than that this engine fits this car very well!

Gas mileage is amazing too. I got 28.5mpg with mostly city driving.

 

thats because thats the 4AGE 16v twincam the 4A was a single overhead cam econobox motor.
