MR2 GT Turbo T-Bar
by TurboPete, 12-03-2020, 10:52 AM
Thought i'd get a project thread started sooner rather than later. Came across this car on Ebay at the beginning of March 2012 and managed to do a deal for it. Picked her up from Manchester on the 3rd March and had a nice drive over Snakes Pass back towards Lincolnshire. First Pictures are ones used in the Ebay advert:

[Image: MR2_2-1.jpg]

[Image: MR2_4-1.jpg]

[Image: MR2_6-1.jpg]

[Image: MR2_7-1.jpg]

When i got home i sorted all the old receipts into date order and had a good read through. Ended up being around £8000 worth of receipts in total.

Current modifications carried out by previous owners:
  • Fibreglass Front Bumper, Rear Bumper & Side Skirts Imported from California
  • Bumpers & Skirts Smoothed into Body
  • Full Respray in Gleaming Ferrari Red in February 2011
  • 18" Inovit Alloy Wheels
  • Lowered on Potenza Coilovers
  • Brakes Upgraded to Grooved Discs & EBC Yellow Pads
  • Custom 5" Twin Exit Exhaust
  • Induction Kit (Not Branded)
  • Sports Steering Wheel
  • Momo Gear Knob
  • Short Shift Gear Change
  • Clifford G5 Concept 650 Alarm Installed

Since owning i've bought some new bright red floor mats, a Sony double DIN head unit and some EL Glow Dials which i still need to install.

Also spent a weekend cleaning it which consisted of a coat of Super Resin Polish, Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze and Dodo Juice Purple Haze Wax. After i took it out to a local spot for some photo's:

Future mod's. Well not a lot really. I've got it booked in at Newton & Bailey's in Lincoln for a health check for a bit of peace of mind before i spend any money on it. Other than that i'd like to get the interior retrimmed in a red/cream combo and just maintain whats already been done to it really. Not looking to break any bhp/speed records just run a healthy standard-ish engine. Also tidy up the engine bay, boot and in the front boot as there is a lot of overspray which looks a bit naff

Any comments, critisisms or recommendations then let me know.

Cheers

Long time no speak everybody!

I've finally got my backside into gear and done a new mix. Hopefully there is a bit of something for everyone.

Anyway, less of the chit-chat..

Car thefts
by mplavery, 11-03-2020, 08:39 PM
Hi guys n gals

I saw this thread which I think you should see just in case someone is selling a car

The shocked me as I have not heard of this before




A couple of links below to stories of car thefts by 'potential buyers'. Threads are from last year and based on Skylines rather than Supras, but it's worth bearing in mind if you're selling a car. Take care people and keep the keys in your pocket!

The first link leads to the others so you might find more stories in there.

Hi,

I spoke to a few of you at The Fast Show (Rabster was the only username i got) last month as i was filming. Been pretty busy so only just got round to signing up here, should be posting the completed video up in a short while.

I currently don't own a Jap car but i'll be sticking around as the car i'm aiming for hails from the land of the rising sun. :thumbup1:
