hello there all....

as it happens ive a project MR-2 that ive had for some time now, but havent really been able to get very far due to financial situations...{i am now a mechanic enthusiast once upon a time i was an apprentice, now ive a titanium spine and a big bed}

It is HARDTOP, frame; SW20-0086069, eng/trans; E153-735 Plant; N11

TOYOTA MR-2 AIM TURBO, Auto Impressions...7/1993

90000 original Ks on Original Engine

so what my question to everyone is should i hang onto it? will it be worth it in the long run...

ive never driven an MR{have always wanted to}

TBH it looks to me like a standard SW20 MR2.

You could use www.toyodiy.com to look up the VIN to find out a bit more information, or check out www.mr2oc.com

VIN* Model code From To Frame Characteristics

06341144.. SW20-ACMZZ 12/1989 - 07/1999 SW20 GT JPN CP 3SGTE MTM 5F

You need to go to the part reference section, then select your car.

This is the same model as yours, which is a standard Japanese delivered MR2 turbo coupe....

Redbook values a good one 7-9k although they are worth a lot less if incomplete or modified.

Don't worry about the VIN matching up, it almost never will on that site. I think you car has the turbo i want :P

lol so then there at least some bits off it that are wanted... now if only i could find out if thats like the whole vehicle....lol

pics to come.... im in the process of cleaning up all the bits on it.... been sitting without engine temp or anythings caused like a 'corroision mottoling' eg see pics....{i didnt really want to show the world what sort of state the beautiful old girl has fallen into... but i'm starting to clean it all up, i've started on the g/box, and a little bit on the piece of airworx that's still attached to the engine}[also i know that one of the timing belt pulleys isnt the correct pulley]

so as u'all can see there is a bit of TLC that needs to continue to happen.... lol, bit of polish to keep em that way etc

peace

There is a guy near Beaudesert who does a process called burnishing. Any corroded alloy parts can be restored to a near perfect finish with the blasting that he does.

I have had all the alloy parts done from the engine of the tonner engine we did up a few years ago. See the picture below.

The timing cover, manifold, alternator shell and a few other bits cost about $75 to get back to looking like new

If you are interested his number is 0411 332 834. I can't think of his name though.

I trust all goes well for the resto job

thnx greatly for the info, if i ever get it going i might go see him..

other then driving it in shipping costs would probably outweigh the benefits...

They are a decent turbo and I'm chasing one for my build. But on an MR2 I would upgrade. :)

Peace..

Good work! Wish I had the time to do the same to mine.

But ! I did a engine conversion on mine. What conversion I hear you say?!

I got a 3sgte from a caldina and dropped it in. It's the same engine but with better package. Coil packs instead of dizzy. Uprated power, 190kw standard apparently. Less laggy turbo and blah blah blah.

Did it at home. Took a couple of weeks to sought out the wiring. Now its a dream to drive.

If you ever consider doing a conversion I highly recommend the caldina engine.

Good luck with it and keep us updated.

Why thank you... i try my best..

Yipee I finally found a fuel tank for it on the weekend just gone... gotta give it a really good clean, as its all "algieed" up..

Not sure weather or not the fuel pump in it is going to be viable...

on the upside i have a spare parts car Celica that i'm pretty sure is the same type pump{anyone confirm?????} it should get me running either way...

that is when i work out how to clean out the tank>then reinstall everything..

Hopes for the best.. can anyone tell me what the Ohm's that should be showing on the float/sender unit?? as it looks really shocking.. though appears to function {moves rather 'cleanly'}

      Kakadu GVM

      Help/advice please!! I have just purchased a 2021 Kakadu which has bull bar/extra battery and now have my kids car seat, roof racks on board too. took it over the tip scales and it came in at 2,680kg with myself, missus and our son…which is as many people as we plan to carry.. BUT fuel tank was not full AND it’s the model with 150l tank so 150kg capacity/potential. we are picking up a newly ordered caravan with 2,450kg tare/ 3,000kg max which I therefore assume will add a 245kg-300kg tow ball weight to our Kakadu’s gvm…is this correct? As if so we would be well over with a full tank of fuel and then surely we are un-insurable even if we don’t fill the fuel tank? looking for advice before i ditch the Kakadu for a Landcruiser or Defender! I could remove the bull bar ($3,000) and remove the 3rd row of seats ($300) to come up with an other 75kg or so but doesn’t seem worth it….any advice/thoughts? thanks Quote

      Hi, I'm Magazi in NSW I'm a new member

      I have a 2002 Corolla 1.8L ZZE-122R, Engine 1ZZ-FE Jap. I have 2 different scan tools {Jaycar Protech PP2147 & Actron AutoScanner CP9576). Both scan tools say DATA ERROR Connection, have tried scan tools out on 3 other different cars and all is OK with the scan tools,just got the car back from the mechanic and he says there is no problem with the OBD data connection. Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as which scanner would work. Thanks Maga

      How to reset service interval light

      Anyone know exactly what the little spanner light means and how to reset it? Best info I have so far is that this is the service interval light. The trouble is I don't know how to reset it. Instructions given say, press and hold the odometer button. There isn't one. There's the "display" button on the steering wheel but that does not reset the little orange spanner warning light.

      Bob jane and tyre power both said these are not recommended and they wear very quickly? They suggested the Michelin xm2+ or the toyo proxes c100? but have read bad reviews on those

      1998 Toyota Celica Pricing idea

      One of the only things working against (or for, depending on your viewpoint) the ST204 Celica is that a bunch of them were probably crushed as a result of not being able to source replacement airbags during the Takata recall (a similar fate befell the Starlet). I don't think all models had that particular airbag though so it probably disproportionally affected certain trim-levels too. This might artificially inflate the rarity of what was generally seen as a nondescript uninspiring 90s hair-dresser "sports car" that still sold reasonably well.

      Rattle on engine start

      I have the same vehicle. I normally use Nulon Ultra 5w-30, replaced every 5000km. I notice this issue as the car approaches the 5000km mark. Come to think of it I used to use 10w-40 Nulon and I don’t remember it making the noise as much.
