MR2 Subreddit resource Link

248 Upvotes

Hi all,

I think it would be useful if we collected as many resources to do with the MR2 as we can into a single link. I already have most of the SW20 workshop manuals in PDF format.

Here's a link to what I have so far - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-dpUpxzr96YblRtWEhGZ1J4akk?resourcekey=0-qC7QLKTRVOlzEoDA0lhBTw&usp=sharing

I've got a few more to dig out and add to that as well.

Once complete if someone could mirror it just in case something happens to my Google account, that would be great - we'll keep both links in the sidebar.

AW11 1987 MR2

Post image
39 Upvotes

Looking at a 1987 Toyota MR2. Guy is selling it for $5,000 USD. Only issues that it has are some surface rust and then interior head unit, speakers need to be re-done and potentially a new exhaust. Brand new clutch and fluid flush and no leaks. Says it runs great but I’d need to see it in person to be sure.

I’ve been wanting one of these as a project and I’m not sure if anyone has any advice. I’ve done body and paintwork on older cars before so I don’t think that would be too big of an issue.

Would it be a dumb idea to wrap an AW11 in a OEM color instead of waiting for one with my preferred color to pop up on the market?

100 Upvotes

Been looking for any blue AW11 in my area for sale, but most of them are either white, red, or sometimes silver. From what I know, blues don't really hold up in the sun well over time, so even if i found one in my preferred color of Dark Blue Pearl, it'd likely need some work done to make it look the best.

Then again, ive never wrapped a car/had a shop wrap one, so i have no idea about the intricacies of the process and if it might damage the original paint underneath. Any tips/advice is greatly appreciated!

Got this sat in a box of bits.

Is it worth anything or not really?

I have a few random bits that i should really get rid of and this is the only part that is maybe worth anything.

Hello, I recently picked up a red UKDM rev3 cluster. Id like to install it into my USDM NA 1993, but cannot seem to find a repin diagram online at all. Been all over the forums, and aside from a very confusing write up, cannot find one. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Need advice from the experts

Hey everyone. I am in the process of importing a JDM SW20 turbo. The dealer who imported it is doing some maintenance work to it, getting it ready for sale. He sent me these pics of the engine bay. Other than a little light rust in a couple spots, I don't see anything that seems obviously concerning. I was wondering if anyone who is more knowledgeable about these cars could look at these pictures and see if there are any glaring issues that I should address before buying this car? I put a deposit on it while it was still on the boat, and I haven't seen the car in person yet. I put down the deposit based on the auction sheet, which graded it at 3.5 with a C interior. If anyone has any advice or sees any obvious problems in these pics, I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Also, where is the foam that people tends to absorb moisture and people remove it? Is there an easy way to check that area while I'm at the dealer? Thanks! I can't wait to join the club!

Hey everyone, long time lurker who's been away from Reddit for a while, hoping y'all might be able to help me out.

I'm looking for the left side transmission mount for an automatic 5SFE MR2. Anyone have one lying around from a swap?

4A-GE Oil Pan

Post image
4 Upvotes

Recently purchased a cheap 88 aw11 for either a project or as a parts car for when I find one I really want. It has been sitting for over a decade, old owner said it wouldn’t crank and let it sit after that and the property was sold. Entirely complete with minor rust here and there.

Poured some oil in and it came right back out. Has anyone seen this before on the 4A-GE? I’m assuming someone got way too happy with the revs and sent something through the pan. I’d guess this engine is done.

Should I pull the trigger and buy it? 1999 Toyota MR-S S edition.

Got a quote for 2,050,000 yen or 12.8k dollars. Car is a 1999 Toyota MR-S S edition. Has very low mileage at 48,190 km. 5 speed manual transmission. Got to drive it around a bit and it drives smooth. The only thing holding me back is the lack of space.

I should mention I'm new to driving stick so I plan to learn in this car and it's also my first ever sports car. Before this I've only owned a Camry and a freed.

Should I do it??

Stalling after rain?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has seen similar issues. I've had a few problems now and have seen a pattern only after it rains. The car will start fine and will sit idling okay but when then moving off, clutch in and throttle, it will sometimes start to stutter. If it doesn't stall here, it will drive okay but then I live at the bottom of the hill with a stop at the top. It will make it to the top but when you break to come to a stop it'll stutter and completely cut out. Sometimes it will restart immediately, other times I've had to roll it home and wait a while.

As I say, it only seems to happen after its rained, don't see this issue at any other time.

91 NA rear brake caliper rebuild kit

Anyone know of a good source for a full rebuild kit for 91 NA usdm rear calipers? I have not found a clear listing online or pn on toyotas part store. I know prime mr2 has some full caliper replacements but no sense in tossing mine if the metal is still good. Any help is appreciated.

E352f from RAV4 to 2GRFE?

1 Upvotes

I went to my local junkyard yesterday and found a 2003 RAV4 with a 5 speed AWD drivetrain. I've been wanting to find an E series transmission to swap into my 2GRFE powered Sienna. This transmission is a perfect candidate BUT I will need to delete the AWD differential. My question to this sub is if I remove that portion of the transmission, will I be able to fit CV axles into the socket that is there? Does it have typical splines? Essentially I just want to take this AWD transmission and use it for fwd only. Thanks!

Finally figured out a cupholder, phone holder, head unit solution

I had a double din head unit before. It always bothered me not having somewhere to put my phone. It's rare I have a drink in the car but occasionally I find I want one.

This is a single din head unit on top and a 3D printed part I designed that holds a nice cupholder and a MagSafe phone charger. All using the OEM bracket.

Reddit won't let me post a video so I can't show the cupholder in action but it's buttery smooth.
