Picked it up Thursday night - after I sold the Megane Coupe 6 hours prior.


Few things need sorting but I got it at a really good price so cant complain.


Its a UK MR2 158bhp 2.0 16v N/A with 85k on the clock full Toyota Service History

Came with
-17" Lexus alloys
-S/S Exhaust
-Tinted rears

And I debadged it today to clean the rear up a bit


Comments / Suggestions all welcome. (and no I wont come cut your hair :lol

Wheels need a refurb and the arches need doing, maybe lower it a touch and stick a turbo rear strut brace on to tighten it up

Is it the fast 2.0n/a one or the slow one?

I was looking at these before the BMW, still have a soft spot for them!

Ahhh its the mid range one then? I think they did one that was around 170bhp?

I cant remember how to tell what was what when looking at the engines though

I really do like these

Not much room inside

Performance wise 158bhp does me fine for now, quite easy to get the back end out as they are tail happy


Which ones are you looking at? I've still got about 10 in my watch list
