Lol! My kids do like it but my X complaints when I take them out in it. She said its too dangerous for them. I put their seats in it and take them around the block one at a time. She complaints about everything though. I'm use to it. ScotianMR205-14-2011, 12:31 PMVery nice, I love the car it is very clean and well put together.

The stuff marriages are made of, arguments, bickering, fighting and the occasional "l love you" :lol:

I feel your pain, my wife (we have no kids) complains that both of my cars are unsafe and surely I'll die in a fiery blaze on some highway...

Awesome MR2! rat2mr205-22-2011, 12:28 AMMy girlfriend loves my 2 cuz its so much better than getting out of my sisters 02 beetle I drove for a year white_mr205-24-2011, 12:57 PMMy girlfriend loves my 2 cuz its so much better than getting out of my sisters 02 beetle I drove for a year

I'm sorry you had to drive a beetle. That must have sucked! white_mr206-18-2011, 10:55 PMInstalled a Cx racing intercooler and a 3in downpipe on Wednesday. Wow what a difference!
I also wash her finally. rat2mr206-19-2011, 05:14 AMbeetles suck so much asssss GrizzlyMan06-20-2011, 11:32 AMThat is one clean MR2, and the pics resolution is very good.

Safe, unsafe, bla bla bla...

Unsafe is all the chemicals females put on their faces to look "pretty".


Have you taken it to any autoshows? white_mr206-20-2011, 11:38 AMThat is one clean MR2, and the pics resolution is very good.

Thanks. No I haven't taken it to any car shows. I want to but I'm usually busy or it's all classic car shows around here. bquick22206-20-2011, 11:47 AMThe most clean widebody I have ever seen! Looks great! white_mr206-20-2011, 01:31 PMThanks guys. I still can't believe I bought this car for $4,000. rat2mr206-20-2011, 08:41 PMdid you do the kit yourself? white_mr206-20-2011, 09:45 PMdid you do the kit yourself?

I bought it with the kit already installed. It had been sitting for awhile though. white_mr206-20-2011, 09:53 PMhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2_y7XIJ994&feature=youtube_gdata_player rat2mr206-21-2011, 12:55 AMso cool. i honestly cant get over this car. this is the exact reason im dying to own a 2ed gen mr2. so i can have a daily driver that looks like this, its such a little ferrari an steroids. soo bad ass. haha nice work spitfire860506-21-2011, 01:20 AMi agree... where did u get that trd 2000gt emblem on the back i lost mine when the guy who did my paint never put it back on... i also like how ur front bumper to side skirts are made together instead of having individual pieces white_mr206-21-2011, 03:38 AMi agree... where did u get that trd 2000gt emblem on the back i lost mine when the guy who did my paint never put it back on... i also like how ur front bumper to side skirts are made together instead of having individual pieces

I had them make it special for me but people kept asking about it so they just added it to their online store. Its not a gel emblem like the authentic TRD2000GT one but close enough.

http://trd2000gt.forumotion.com/t164-fs-or-ft-authentic-trd2000gt spitfire860506-24-2011, 11:26 PMyea thats a nice one. i really want thos fog lights that that car has the actual trd200gt body kit does not come with them and nor did the original body of my car. white_mr206-24-2011, 11:30 PMyea thats a nice one. i really want thos fog lights that that car has the actual trd200gt body kit does not come with them and nor did the original body of my car.

Wish I had $12,000 laying around right now. I wouldn't mind having the real thing. phzoinkMKII06-24-2011, 11:37 PMLooks like it is just an authentic TRD produced body kit and not the actual factory TRD2000GT car. Still very nice seeing as the kit alone was priced around 9k by itself. I was ready to call my bank and get a loan if it were the rare TRD produced MR2. spitfire860506-24-2011, 11:44 PMi agree with phzoink i dont think it is a actual trd produced car.... i think that the it was just a body kit car.... and i dont remember how much i paid for the kit but i think i got mine to my door for like 3'gs then there went the re-birth or my mr2 i put the body on myself with some help from some friends then i paid to have it painted courtesy of phantasy kolors.. i think i paid 7500 for the paint... but still worth every penny... it is the pride of my life aside from my daughter... phzoinkMKII06-24-2011, 11:47 PMI'm sure if it was the car it would be priced much higher and there would be a pic of the TRD VIN plate. Every other one that was ever sold, that I have seen anyway, always showed that plate. white_mr206-24-2011, 11:49 PMLooks like it is just an authentic TRD produced body kit and not the actual factory TRD2000GT car.

Yes none of the 10 US cars were factory produced cars. Just the kits. white_mr206-24-2011, 11:51 PMI'm sure if it was the car it would be priced much higher and there would be a pic of the TRD VIN plate. Every other one that was ever sold, that I have seen anyway, always showed that plate.

The 10 US cars did not get a plate cause they were not factory cars. phzoinkMKII06-24-2011, 11:52 PMA few of the actual cars did make it to the US markets, with the plates, but I have a feeling we will never have the chance to own one of them. :(

EDIT: They had to have the plates because they were limited edition vehicles. Everyone that was released into the market had the plate as proof of what it was. spitfire860506-25-2011, 12:02 AMi dont know the specifics of all this technical stuff but who really cares? i mean the chances of us actually seeing one in person is slim-to-none and even if we did it would probably be on barret-jacksons auto auctions where noone on the website would be able to afford to buy the car over any of those guys that go on there to purchase their hundreds of cars... so yea thats that. so for the mean time we have to just go with our cars the best we can make em phzoinkMKII06-25-2011, 12:11 AMI think we have a chance at one of those auctions because everytime an "import" crosses the block they usually stay under 30k. Those guys want the good ole American muscle they grew up with. If one were to cross the block you can bet I WILL be there to scoop that up, no matter what. spitfire860506-25-2011, 12:13 AMyea if i dont beat you to it lol phzoinkMKII06-25-2011, 12:15 AMAll I can say is good luck ;) spitfire860506-25-2011, 12:17 AMdito but you got a much longer way to travel than i do lol phzoinkMKII06-25-2011, 12:18 AMI'm dating a flight attendant, so travel is free. spitfire860506-25-2011, 12:20 AMahhh u sumbitch u go me on that one.. white_mr208-22-2011, 09:40 PMI'm getting bored with my Mr2. I don't know what to do next. More power or interior? kevinl08-22-2011, 09:42 PMI'm getting bored with my Mr2. I don't know what to do next. More power or interior?

i am willing to accept trades. :D white_mr208-22-2011, 09:49 PMi am willing to accept trades. :D

Lol. Yea I'm sure you are. spitfire860508-24-2011, 01:36 AMgo for power tht will keep you interested for a while lol white_mr208-24-2011, 06:39 AMI think my next step is a HKS FCD. Then probably a Power FC with commander. spitfire860508-24-2011, 11:09 AMor you could start rebuilding the whole block and give it new pistons rods overbore it at least .020 then go from there.. haha white_mr208-24-2011, 11:16 AMor you could start rebuilding the whole block and give it new pistons rods overbore it at least .020 then go from there.. haha

I don't have a job right now so that's not going to happen. I will be happy with 300whp. I just don't know what I need to get there. kevinl08-24-2011, 11:48 AMI don't have a job right now so that's not going to happen. I will be happy with 300whp. I just don't know what I need to get there.

take the vtec from your honda and put it in the mr2 easy 500hp minimum spitfire860508-26-2011, 01:36 AMdepending on where you live try the oil field... thats where i work and they are hiring like crazy.. and the pay is really good... white_mr209-15-2011, 02:48 PMSome Guy just offered me $12,000 for my Mr2. Hahaha! I don't think so. spitfire860509-18-2011, 09:47 PMYea I woulda turned his ass down too... lol no chance. Maybe 16xxx but 12? Naaa white_mr209-18-2011, 09:58 PMI know its probably not worth much more than that but its worth alot more to me. spitfire860509-18-2011, 10:55 PMYup... my cars probably about the same but to me personally with all of the grief and money I have invested into it. Its worth more to me too. Unless someone wants to trade me for something that's just as rare and unique white_mr209-29-2011, 04:58 PMFinally found the spark plug wire cover I was looking for. I was looking for it for a year. Thanks EMS!

Mine are 7mm. They were a pain to fit in the wire cover. white_mr210-02-2011, 08:49 PMNow I need to find frunk plastic in good condition. bl02429210-05-2011, 09:46 PMYour quest for more power is as easy as a boost controller. I am in the same boat as you with power options. I don't wanna spend my mortgage for upgrades, so just looking for the most from the minimal right now. Gorgeous car BTW. white_mr210-05-2011, 09:55 PMYour quest for more power is as easy as a boost controller. I am in the same boat as you with power options.

Thanks! I probably have about $10,000 wrapped up in her by now though. A couple more weeks and then it will be time to put her away for the winter. She ran like a champ for the 2 hour trip to and from the Bear Mountain meet this year. I went to my first local car show this past weekend, She had alot of pictures taken that's for sure. I'm a pretty happy Guy. stay sidewayz11-09-2011, 05:08 AMA friend of mine took some pictures today. They turned out pretty good I think.

I found her on Auto Trader by accident. I was looking for an STi when I wanted to show my son what a Mr2 was. I live in Pa. Bought the car in NC. She has 185,000 miles on the car. The gen3 probably around 30,000 miles. Since I bought her I probably drove about 2,000- 2,500 miles. Yes my A/C works. I never use it though. I don't know if the t-tops leak or not. She has never seen a rain drop or snow flake. white_mr209-17-2012, 05:07 PMFinally getting around to the interior. Out with the blue in with the 97 seats. 97 door panels on the way. white_mr209-21-2012, 05:49 PM97 door panels. KAIDO MR09-21-2012, 08:30 PMLooks awesome Rudy! white_mr209-22-2012, 06:17 PMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1c_JUOD1AE&feature=youtube_gdata_player white_mr210-21-2012, 01:48 PMBought a seibon Cf hood for $60. It has some cracks. I'm going to fix them and if it looks like crap I will just paint it white. I'm not a big fan of the CF hood look anyway. white_mr203-02-2013, 01:44 PMI found this for sale for $350 and couldn't pass it up.

No the cf hood is being used as a work bench in my garage still. And yes the Tom's ecu was totally worth it. zircon 209-04-2013, 08:53 AMsick sw is it a genuine trd 2000gt kit white_mr209-04-2013, 10:40 AMsick sw is it a genuine trd 2000gt kit
