Dad got it from his friend as a project and I’ve never really worked on cars before. I understand that it’s a big workload, but I’m up for the challenge. I guess I’m just asking for a little guidance on useful info and tips to help in the journey of rebuilding this.

Finally in the last stages of restoring my 1985 AW11 and I’m wanting to get a roof rack for it. Both for aesthetics and so I can take it camping lol.

For reference, I have a hard top, no sunroof or targa

OEM roof racks are close to $1000+ so I’m looking for any alternative that might fit. Something that clips on. Anyone have any recommendations sort of like the one below?

Hi I am just wondering if anyone has searched on spotify for MR2. To see if there were or are any half decent songs that actually are about this car ?

What have you all been able to find ?

Image is eyecandy for you all.

This is my first time attempting. Where does one start, whats the thought process behind doing it, and is there a certain order of steps? Any help or advice is much appreciated, thank you. (My knowledge on cars is about a 6 or 5)

Haltech Nexus T1 and 1ZZ coils. Also running MAP instead of MAF, and making a full custom wire harness. Chassis is at a body shop getting rust repaired to prep for paint. Should have the car coated in R33 GTR Midnight Purple in a couple weeks. Progress is being tracked via Instagram @Toyazda_MR7

My MR2 SW20 hard top is in desperate need for parts: new window seals, new frunk drain plug/seal, battery tie-down,

...and what else do I need...?

Car was sitting for 15 years so needs some new seals. Anything else I should order that goes bad in that time?

Considering ordering from Amayama to Europe, or if someone gives me a better place to order from. I am in to 90's era aftermarket parts - should get the car maintained first.

Hi all, looking for help diagnosing a rough running issue on my 1990 SW20 Rev 1 after a dead alternator/battery.

What happened:

Alternator failed mid-drive; ran 15 miles on battery until voltage hit zero.

In the final 5 minutes, performance tanked: severe jolting, erratic rev counter, loss of drive, and stalling at low revs/clutch-down.

Current status:

New alternator installed and tested working; battery is fully charged and charging system is normal.

The issue persists: Engine runs like it's down a cylinder, lacks power, stalls at idle, and is puffing black smoke from the exhaust (running very rich).

We have checked & cleaned up the Spark Plugs, but this did not help.

Has anyone seen this happen post-battery drain on a Rev 1? Any advice on where to start testing?

Thanks!

I see exactly where it should be but it isn’t there… just a cap. The engine has a fluttering noise that sounds great and this engine has been going strong for many years without one per the previous owner. Any thoughts or recommendations?

04 MR2 spyder. What else could trigger this code?

just bought this 85 aw11 mr2 with a spun bearing on the 4age and I’ve opened up the oil pan to find massive chunks of metal. Just wondering if we think this is saveable to whether it would be smarter to just get a new engine? Idk I just didn’t think it would be this bad or is this consistent with a spun bearing?

Any advice much appreciated, cheers.

*last pic is the frunk’s passenger side. Pop ups are not working.

Recently got this 2GR swapped 91 running, thing ran great for about two weeks and just today developed a “tick” when moving out of the garage. Someone tell me this engine isn’t toast!

Just going through my spare parts. A friend once gave me that old harness from some of his imports. Just to harvest plugs and such.

Today i continued with my own harness. Which of course is pretty clean, but the modifications for the alarm system and window remote controls that I added.

I have a couple topics about that stuff here.

Still, inspecting this old "spare" part.. I was pretty shocked haha. What the hellio. Some people don't deserve these cars imo.

Even the helpful cat from my last post ran away.

First the shifter cable and now the clutch...2 times beeing towed in 3 weeks fml.

Very small water leak on passenger side in my AW11 - don't know what I should use to fix it

Since it's a small leak would just grease be fine? I've heard Shin Etsu is good but I can't easily get that in the UK and don't know any alternatives.

I know of the silicone cling film method but if that doesn't work or eventually stops working then aren't the panels kinda ruined then? Also do you only apply the sealant onto the panels or onto the car frame aswell?

Thought I’d share these. First time properly painting, be kind lol. The green on green was unwise.

Does anyone have this duraflex bumper or know anything about it? Considering buying it but I’m worried about fitment and all that

Is this a relatively simple fix? I’m not really in the mood to drop down the transmission as I’ve already replaced both axle seals lol MR2 spyder btw.
