i'm thinking about getting an mr2 as a fun RWD project but don't really know what i should offer this guy. it does have a lot of miles on it and the interior isn't in very condition from what i can tell. i plan on swapping the motor with a jdm 3sgte though so the motor i'm not too concerned with.
what do you think

the mr2 that's for sale
i was thinking of offering around 2k.

Seems like a good deal Dave. I have been thinking the same thing myself. Except I want to buy one thats in good shape and I'm willing to trade or sell my car for it lol. But it looks good to me man.

what i'm thinking with the whole thing is the mr2 would be more logical to hook up the motor on. i'll most likely keep the celi as a daily driver and just tune this one. i won't worry so much about the exterior like i have so far on my car. of course i'll make it look nice but that will mainly just be get the front bumper repainted. i won't worry about doing any body kits or anything like that. maybe some jdm tails but that's about it. i still don't really know what i am going to do. i don't know if i'll be able to afford another insurance payment. i'm gonna take a look at it on saturday and see if i can even get a loan for it LOL
then again if i sell my car and get this one i will be out of a lot of my debt. i just don't see a mr2 as a logical car to have as a daily.
i'll keep you posted.
if i could get anymore opinions i would really appreciate it.
thanks guys

motor swap on the 2 is a pain in the ass...my girl and I did threw a 3sgte in her 2 and damn offta glad it's done

so what have you decide?

i decided not to. i don't think i would be able to afford it. i hear the insurance on those things are outrageous.
i might save up for an old toyota pickup though. i really like lestyousay's. then i can can go muddin
i did decide though that it's time to get some rims for my baby. i'll update once i find out if i got them or not.
cross my fingers

Just be ready for work. General rule is to take what you plan on spending, double it, then triple the time and frustration.

Ferris, I don't know whether or not I will hold on to my 87 4runner or not.. but if you end up wanting one let me know.. I'm moving out to Portland so I won't be too far from you either.
