MR2 owners

[89mr2sc]

Hi all, I have an 89 mk1 SC. No mods yet, looked for over a year before buying. I've always wanted an MR2, like them all but really love the mk1's. It's dark blue, 5 speed, and runs great, small rust spots, one on the roof, 2 on the trunk lid, wheel wells in great shape. Don't want to do anything major in the mod department, suspension, tires & wheels, exhaust. Any suggestions on where to start on mods, will be appreciated. Also need info on suspensions, coilovers, sway bars, ect.
Thanks

I've got a MK2 rev 1 in Black with is not that common in UK spec like mine is. Most black ones appear to be Jap spec.

It's got 120K miles on the clock with a complete and up to date Toyota history. The lady who owned it took it to the main dealer even if it had a blown bulb !!!

I needed three new tyres so bought a set of Rev three wheels on ebay which improve the look. I have also fitted a flush panel on the rear between the lights to get rid of the honeycomb look. I've rewired the rear lights so the inside ones act as both brake and fog lights, with a switch to make it fog only when it has the annual test so that it complies with UK law. I've also fitted a rev 2 bib spoiler on the front. The pics below are out of date as I have the later OE spec clear front indicator/side lights as well.

Inside, I got hold of a driver side sub. The car came fitted with the active system, with the passenger sub and amp so now it's the same spec as the Premium active system. Added to that my own headunit and multi changer, bigger front speakers and an independant amp to power them, and she sounds quite nice.

I might be modifying the exhaust soon. Basically having the middle box removed and a straight through pipe in it's place to give a deeper roar and louder.

I have a 93 mr2 second generation and in the process of putting a garrett turbo in it

I have a '91 MR2 NA. I have 16" motegi's with toyo proxess 205/40ZR16's on the front and 225/50ZR16 Bridgstone Potenzas on the rear. I also have tein s-tech springs on all 4's along with Billstein struts.

The car has a lot of factory options. Power windows/locks/mirrors, no power steering (which is great), 5-speed manual trans, T-tops, and premium audio.

I hooked up an aftermarket amp to the factory sub because the sub wasn't hooked up and it is really easy to hook up an amp.

I plan on getting different sway bars along with a rear strut brace. Also I plan on getting '94 tailights and clear corner lenses. Possibly might get some new gauges be cause i like the cleaner look of gauges with white backs instead of black.
