This problem has been plaguing my car since the day I bought it. little back story, I purchased my car (1985 MR2 mk1A) after it had sat for nearly 26 years, the day I bought the car I was the first to roll it out of the garage since it had been last parked in the fall of 1994, and at that moment...

Last photo is previous owner’s photo but just thought I’d include it since I don’t have any picture of it with the bumper on.

As much as I hate to do it, I just do not have time, money or space to keep it. Starting grad school in the fall and have other things that are going to take priority. I bought the car last year as a project car. Found it on a horse farm in the South bay. It had 268k on the clock and hadn't...

Hello All, I finally caved in to my Sons enthusiasm about these fine automobiles. But as we know, they are showing their age. WHere can new hinges be found ? Part #'s 68720-17010 Upper LH (Driver) 68740-17010 Lower LH (Driver) 68710-17010 Upper RH (Passenger) 68730-17010 Lower RH (Passenger)...

well took a spill today dodging a dear, anyone have a gold front left fender for an aw11?

Looking for a short shifter for my aw11. Any links to ones I should buy? also will the short shifter from a sw20 fit an aw11?

Looking for anyone selling an AW11 in Florida, condition and price can be negotiable. Show me whatcha got!

I’m selling my MR2 on eBay. Sad to see it go but don’t have space after a cross country move. Not listed anywhere else, no reserve, no buy it now. I know I’m more of a lurker, but thank you all for the knowledge over the years! Auction ends 4/23/2021...

So, my temp gauge spike is back and it's likely that water pump was on its last leg last few times I started my '88 up and now decided to fully go. It gets proper hot around the engine, the return bleeder at the radiator does get fluid into it, but all of the cooling hoses feel like there's...

Hi all, Longtime MR2 fan, (fingers crossed) first-time owner here and new to the board. Looking for a clean title AW11 Mk1B with manual trans and some cosmetic defects to beat the living snot out of as a weekend / mild project car. The car must run and drive well, but small issues are...

Figured I’d give this a shot! If anyone is selling a 1st Gen MR2(1985-1989) with around 130k or less on the dash for a REASONABLE price contact me at: [email protected] I don’t mind a little bit of rust also wouldn’t mind a rolling shell either! Would prefer manual but if it’s in good condition...

Howdy all! So recently I was doing some casual work on my 2. I got the car about 5 months ago and have been doing regular maintenance over thy period. Yesterday, I decided to clean out the throttle body, as I was unsure how long it had been untouched. Answer: probably never. That thing was...

I'm prepping to change the stock exhaust to custom aluminum this spring, and I noticed there are heat shields over the headers. Is it healthier for the car to keep it on or is it just exta weight?

Just like the title says, I'm looking for a front skirt for my 86. Will pay shipping (in AZ).

I'm looking to buy an MK1 MR2 with a 3SGTE engine swapped in. Here's what I'm looking for: Gauges working, electronics working, interior intact. I'm planning to use it as a road car, not a strictly track only vehicle. Left-hand drive Manual transmission (preferably the E153 Turbo transmission)...

My plans is to a complete teardown of my mr2. Engine, drivetrain, electrical, cooling, and bodywork its all getting done. I want to see what can be improved down to the nuts and bolts. By the time I'm finished this may be a whole new car on the aw11 chassis.

Hey guys, I pulled my 3 rib 4age to replace the seals and clean it up. While I had it out I came across a 7 rib with better compression and decided to use it. I now have the 7 rib resealed and in the car and everything connected as it should be. I have gone through the BGB to try and trouble...

Hey guys, this is my first post although I’ve been digging in this forum heavily in the past year. Having a strange specific misfire issue that I haven’t found in a thread. So... The other day I went to take my 85’ MR2 out and out of nowhere, I could not get passed 6k rpm in 2nd, 5k rpm in 3rd...

Ok so just did a compression test on my 86 mr2 and all 4 cylinders are low on compression, while 3 of the cylinders are above the minimum 128psi one cylinder is below and they aren't with 14psi of eachother as the Haynes manual recommends. Adding oil while doing the compression test adds some...

I am wrapping up a super budget build on a 7 rib 4age. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to use the automatic trans cooler as a w2a intercooler. If you run air through the coolant side and water through the oil side, then use the a/c condenser as a HE. I'm not around the car and had an...
