One nice feature is that the frunk (front trunk) can accommodate a full size spare (I have 15 inch wheels on mine that I got off a Mark 3 owner who was "upgrading". The plastic side skirts and air damn contribute little to the aerodynamics until you get above 80mph; they were mostly introduced in the late 86 model onwards because of cosmetic considerations. The spoilers often came in black, depending on model year and options. My first 1985 mica blue MR2 was manufactured with a black spoiler. The gap along the rim of the glass is intentional and enable the fitting of a custom roof-rack. The drain is supposed to be blocked - it was never intended to drain into the bodywork. Don't ever throw your radio away! These things are becoming collectors' items and are easily restored/repaired! The air intake for later model MR2s came through a duct which runs the entire width of the trunk then loops around to the passenger-side engine vent. At speed this intake DOES generates some ram-effect (provided your ducting isn't leaking air). In any event, the air entering the engine through this tortuous route is at least cool; whereas air sucked from the engine bay (as seems popular for some reason) is invariably hot. The front lights are very easy to upgrade to either halogen or LED. Both are a huge advantage over stock and they are surprisingly affordable as the lights themselves are common to many H3 models including some Jeeps! The rear trunk was deliberately sized to accommodate a set of golf clubs, however early models did not have padding on the left and ride sides of the trunk. As a result, if the golf clubs shifted during transit, they would often dent the rear quarter panels. Fortunately Toyota fixed this post 1985. The earlier models came with back and front anti-roll bars - an almost unheard of feature back in the mid 80's! However it was found the rear anti roll bar contributed to abrupt breakaway at the back in the hands of less capable drivers. Removing the rear anti-roll bar meant that breakaway was more progressive, however it detracted from the maximum cornering ability of the MR2. Refitted to a later model, and equipped with 15 inch tires and Advan A052 tires, I measured the skidpan grip at 1.05G compared to 0.84 for stock! If you are sure of your abilities in mid-engine cars (and know, for instance, you shouldn't lift off the throttle in a rear wheel breakaway situation) then I'd recommend refitting the rear anti-roll bar. Quite a few people delete the under-body plastic panels. As flimsy as they may seem, they are not cosmetic. Again, you won't see a difference until you get over 80mph. However the rear engine bay quarter panel is also designed to provide some weather protection to the handbrake cables. The 4AGE motor continued development after the demise of the Mark 1 MR2 (also known as the AW11) and two stand-out versions were the silvertop and blacktop 20 valve motors. These are easy swap options which have much improved electronics. As a result the intake-clogging EGR was deleted and aided by early VVT technology, oil squirters to the pistons, and higher rpms, you can get an honest 155 and 165hp out of these motors. The other gem, if you want to stay "4AGE" is to find a Japanese, late model 4AGZE. This is a much improved version of the USDM 4AGZE and adds a solid 20-25 extra horsepower with improved engine life and reduced pooling of oil in the engine head (they added an extra drain from the head down into the block). The blacktop also comes with a 6 speed box (C160) which is robust enough for road usage but not suited for track use (IMHO). The most ambitious engines swaps are the 3SGTE motor and the 2GR (which is a modern V6 design). My personal favorite is the 2GR with TVSII and EC60 6 speed transmission. It may seem crazy, but a 400hp Mark 1 MR2 is surprisingly well behaved once you get used to the extra power!
Ah yes, thank you very much for your comment. Was looking for everything you've said to be copied to this video description or make a new video about it. Time flies, life got busy, then ultimately forgot. Again, thank you so much for this. Yes, earlier 85-86s have rear black spoilers as options on base models. 86+ got the aerodynamic package as listed in Toyota's brochures, which gave the color matched side skirts and spoiler, with an additional visor with "TOYOTA" on it (loving how this is done). To this day I still can't decide whether the spoilers and side skirts are fiberglass or plastic. I gave them plenty of knocks and leaning toward fiberglass, though I'm not sure. I'm not cutting one up haha. I've heard people have done simulations and decided 80mph was the magic number. However, studies show that the spoiler being placed a little further back would help stability, which is why some people do it. On top of that, whether or not the visor is in place, it doesn't get air into the vents on the engine lid at all. I watched these related videos and read in forums back in my high school days, when I was starting to become more interested in the car, wish I could find those again. I'm almost done with grad school and bringing that back on the road will be my goal. Not my current priority because I already bought a new car after undergrad. Regarding the drain, does that mean my car is missing a big chunk of rubber or whatnot where the gutters are? Good to know how the intake runs along the car. I like that detail and know to take extra care. Didn't know about the trunk as well. All I know is the MK1As and MK1Bs have different air filter placements, the B has it in the left side of the trunk. I am definitely not getting rid of the radio. Actually, that is my most concerned part of the interior, praying the cassette decks still work. I still have a lot of my favorite music in cassette form. As a matter of fact, these old Technics Panasonic units can be found in Cressidas and other high end Toyota vehicles of the day. Chances are my 88 does not have a rear roll bar. Have you ever put an MK1A antiroll bar into a later model? I probably wouldn't drive the car like I stole it, but yes, I think the same "snap oversteer" thing goes for the SW20. I think it will be tough for those who live in the Midwest or rustbelt and removed the underbelly panels. Being in California, I believe it's better with the weather, but still need to be careful. Oh yeah, my handbrake cable needs to be replaced. Speaking of engines, if the stock 4A-GE goes down, I'd like to find a 4A-GZE like you've said. However, getting a Japanese later 4A-GE is impossible for me due to California emissions regulations. I still want to pass smog and drive it legally. A 3S-GTE sounds sweet, but I'm going to admit right away I wouldn't be able to handle so much power. My alternative is to get a 2ZZ-GE in there paired with a C(1)60. Forgot if people said the Celica GT-S or Matrix XRS C60s would work better. Either way, for better reliability, I'd stick with NA. If I was going to dump the money into a 2ZZ, I could even look into a 2AR and six-speed out of a Scion tC. If you happen to be around any forums or groups, please let me know.
@@theadventurousdriver6463 nah it’s the rear fog light so it’s mandatory over here as far as I’m aware it’s bone stock, still waiting to be restored but the previous owner was anal about making sure it got Toyota ‘A’ class services yearly so I doubt he’s changed anything
@@Racing_Fox Gotta love those types of first owners. I'm sending the car to a shop to refresh all the seals, gaskets, and do the full nine yards after I'm done with grad school later in the year.
@@theadventurousdriver6463 yeah it’s not cheap stuff, I’m a uni student at the mo so restoring this is going to be expensive, plan to do it all myself though to try and keep the costs down.

@@theadventurousdriver6463 oh absolutely, the car was bought by my grandad in 99 and has basically just sat in his garage since then, The original owner owned it for 4 months from new then sold it to the guy before my grandad and there is every single service invoice and everything, haven’t been through it all but there’s even a letter from Toyota in 2001 reminding my grandad that the timing belt is likely due for a change and that they’d be happy to do it for him.

THANK YOU, FKING THANK YOU for your smart phone placement. I've been doing this for a while and a smartphone fit perfectly there, even when you hauling ass. I think this car was designed smart, it already knew car phones were outdated. Nice video friend :)
Glad you enjoyed! Didn't think something I made up twenty minutes before leaving for a beach trip yesterday turned out better than I thought it would. Still needs improvement, though. Haha! Yup! This car was way ahead of its time! I'm not talking about the engine, but the cooling system. The seats (not the base model seats I have, though) are also very comfortable and very light! I just got a different set of MR2 seats two days ago and I'm impressed of the quality.
Yeah the cooling system is cool right? haha. How are you doing with that BTW? Does she still get hot? Have you tested compression? That might make a good video, especially if you end up doing a major overhaul. You may have a light head gasket leak.
I'm changing the thermostat and giving it a full flush later on. I think a water pump may be needed sooner or later, since it has sat for so many years. Hopefully not the head gasket. If it is, I'll freak out and not sleep well. Haha! Anyway, though, I hope the thermostat will solve the water temperature issue.
Do the thermostat and make sure you bleed it for over 15-20 minutes, or more. If you had water pump problems you would be leaking out the "peep hole." No coolant leak means you probably have internal issues. No worries, you will make even more videos and more subscribers. Remember to have fun and that this car is the Webster's DEFINITION of fun. Look it up.
For some reason, I haven't seen this comment until now... Thanks! I have an upcoming video that will go through some confusing service records I've found that indicate the thermostat was changed once. Hopefully I don't mess up on the coolant.
Some nice tips and info in this video! That MR2 needs a lot of work, but looks like it can be a gem someday. As long as it runs, it's still better than mine right now, hahaha. A few tips if I may, you should try planning what you are going to say a bit more before taking a shot and maybe even practicing it before filming. That way you'll say um or pause less, and you'll deliver more information in a shorter clip. Overall I know it was a nice casual video, but with a little more polish and editing it could have a wider appeal. You also say in the description that the video is to take up space. You shouldn't degrade your own work like that. Hope this comes off as constructive as I intend it. Hope your car is holding up well!
Thanks for the tip, man, I appreciate it. Definitely gave me an insight of how to present things better. I agree with the editing part. Usually I just piece together the clips and render it without editing, seems like I should. Car sat for nine years, hasn't been started up for four or five years now. god knows how the engine is holding up right now. Getting the car insured and all the responsibilities of owning it is kind of out of my financial capabilities right now, so I've only been getting parts for it and slowly put them on. Have you had any experience with these overheating? The thermostat has been changed not many miles ago, so I don't think it's that. I'm hoping it's something simple like coolant or maybe even a radiator. If it is a head gasket, It'd be a pain in the butt. Love your 2, by the way. I've watched a few of your videos, but after I cleared my history a while ago, I forgot what your channel name was. Now, you've come right to me. Haha!
No problem at all! Thanks for taking it well. I think it's awesome you are working on it even if you can't really have it out on the road yet. They're great project cars. Overheating issues tend to stem from incorrectly bleeding the cooking system. Look up MkI MR2 coolant bleeding tutorials on Google. Glad I found your channel as well! There will be lots more MR2 content in the future from me.
Yeah, might be some air inside the coolant hoses or somewhere might be clogged up. The car probably never got a legitimate coolant flush. I only remember my dad adding more coolant everytime. I'll get some Toyota 50/50 red coolant and pour that in after I give the system a good. Thanks man, glad you stopped by! I'll definitely be on the lookout for more 2 videos from you.
The "vent" on the RH side is actually the air intake air ducts go from there round to the boot/trunk where the air filter assembly is and then into the intake manifold.
Mr. Two [Qian Li] Yeah the intake is on the RH side of the car and air ducts run under the boot/trunk to the LH side where the air filter is. Then air ducts go forward and into the intake.
Oh, I see. I definitely learned a lot. Thanks for the information! If there is one day I need to take apart everything, I'll give things a very detailed look.
The spoiler you have is from an '85 MR2. Not all of them had 3rd brake lights. Some later base model cars without a spoiler had the 3rd brake light inside the cabin.
Yeah, I figured. Haha! It's missing the visor, so the first owner was probably doing some engine work and destroyed the visor and stock rear wing by lifting the engine up.
Sure will! I just need to find mechanics and shops that know what they are doing in the Bay Area. It'll get an engine rebuild and paint. I'll also need a place to source the pinstripes.
You need to flip it to the orientation you started with. (you took in out showed us, and put it back in flipped) and then align the top rotating piece (the piece that touches the car) to go into the tab and the screw it open. it will then lock into place.

scroll through those pictures, there is one of the frunk with it properly installed.
Got it. Thanks man.
thats the stock shift knob
It is? I thought all MR2s came with a tall leather shift knob, base model or not.
i have a 86 base model with sunroof has same one and my other 1986 base model has the same one, so im guessing it stock lol
Oh, really? I'm convinced! Do you have a video on it? I'd like to see it!
i could make a little show case on my mr2's if youd like
Yes please! Inside and out. I'd love to see what other MR2s look like. Lots of people will like it.
