Felicidades muy buen video buena edición del vídeo, por supuesto comparto el sentimiento de apego hacia los mr2; En Costa Rica tenemos un club de entusiastas y nos reunimos seguido para discutir temas relacionados a mecánica he historia del carro
Nicely done, he kinda fits a good aw11 mr2 owner, normal in appearance & approachable but probably a meticulous fellow. Tycho's retro-laid back music fits this story perfectly. This era of MR2 was often described as a "poor man's Ferrari" but the nimble MR2 with its robust 4age engine probably gave more smiles per dollar/euro than the whole elitist Ferrari brand ever did & after all these years obviously continues to....
I'm sorry those of you waiting for more episodes... thing is i'm having a lot to do lately in my actual job and dont have the time to create more... also need more cars and people wanting to spend the day, i dont really have many car enthusiast friends.... Will do my best though, and promise i'll try to bring you more WhatiDrive videos. Thanks for asking and for understanding this!!
+What i Drive This vid is great, kinda of love letter to this type of car. I guess you meet car enthusiast friends through doing car things like going to car shows, meets, etc.
+DB742 Sadly i don´t get the time i´d like to to go to car meets and know more people with cool cars to do some more "What i drive" shows... it´s a pitty, it started nicely and was having fun recording them but now i just don´t have the time or find the cars to do more... Would love to be able to give you all subscribers some new episodes... will do my best! promise i´ll keep trying!
Thank you Paul!! I think you are the first english comment on my new "what i drive" project! Will have to have in mind adding subtitles!! Glad you liked the video, check the other too, and have a great time with that aw11, they are great fun!!
At 3:02 I would suggest changing the front and rear engine mount bushings. The engine is moving way to much when you shift. Its 80 USD but it will work wonders. The engine feels a lot different and you don't waste power moving the engine around the bay. There were Toyota stickers on the outside. On the front bumper and on the rear window spoiler, which is originally see-through. on this car its painted red. The interior color combination is really tacky, especially the upholstered glove compartment and gauge cluster cover, but that's just taste and my opinion, so feel free to disregard it. Otherwise a fine example :)
I'll definately look into that, thanks a lot! Interior comes from previous owner. Not what i would have done, but "new" enough for not touching it in a good while! Thanks a lot for taking your time and sharing your thoughts! Really apreciate it!
Oh! I know original mk1s had stickers, i was just referring to my example... quite not very well explained in the video, sounds like i mean the opposite...
Hey! could you point me to some place i can buy those mount bushings? Talked to Toyota with no luck here in Spain, they werent very helpful and i don´t want to buy something wrong on the internet... Thanks a lot!
Espero pronto tener 1 de estos y tenerlo tan bien restaurado con ese. 😍 tracción trasera motor central que más se puede pedir? La potencia es suficiente para ser divertido. 😍
Nice video. Makes me really excited to get the red '85 I just got up and running. Will be my first RWD car. Not to mention first mid engine and first two seater. Really excited to have it for my channel. :D
I hope that some day more episodes will come out. I hope you get more time to work on these. I subscribed so I will watch it once/if another episode comes out.
McZxjmonkey i might do a Pontiac Trans Sport soon, i just dont have much material and it has been sold so i cant record anymore... its a pity, i love doing these "episodes"!! i promise i'll do my best and keep trying to find the time to do more!!
Dude I wish there were subtitles. I also own a red mr2, people in Florida love it because there aren't many here. I think only 400 were sold over here in Miami and most of them have been turned into track cars or rusted to hell in the salty air.
Your wish is coming true man! you are the second person asking for them so i´m working on it right now, stay tuned! and thanks a lot for the feedback! MR2s are so cool, only 117 ever sold here in spain! :)
***** your awesome man, this was my dream car. Back when I was a kid my dad had a supercharged model in black with T tops. I am now a proud owner of a shiny red example with only 109,000 and I drive it every day.
how is it a 1984 with spoiler brakelight and the sideskirts? Pretty sure they werent a option until 1986. Also that interior is 100% mk1b interior with the handbrake placed where it is and also mk1b steering wheel. It also says toyota below the eagle; right above the headlights it says Toyota MR2 and the optional wind visor spoiler thing says Toyota. Last thing is that the t tops mr2 didnt come out till 1987 so i dont think your mr2 is year 1984.
Thanks for tour comment! you are right, this example is 1989. I see you all MR2 lovers dont miss a thing!! haha. When i made the video i wanted to point out when the car came into production (firstly) and also meant to talk about this example when saying it doesnt say Toyota other than in the steering. Only reason is the previous owner took it away...
+Marco Berrios well... not that im very much into pricing but i think anywhere between 4000 and 14000€ at least here in Spain! dont get my word though...
I just picked up a red '85 in the USA for $500 with an engine potentially low on compression. Looks like I got a steal compared to elsewhere in the world. XD It will be featured on my channel soon, including a potential engine swap, if anyone is interested. :)
802 Garage will be checking your channel!! Glad you bought one for such a good price! you see, here in Spain only 117 were ever sold... its quite hard to even find one for sale nowadays!!
Me encantaría! Sólo conocí a una persona con un AE86 y estaba en Madrid... Si algún día tengo la oportunidad sería una pasada, mientras tanto, si alguien tiene un FT86 no estaría mal tampoco! :) Cualquier coche es bienvenido en WhatiDrive!!

I love both the AW11 and Tycho. You win sir!!!
I love that color scheme. If I ever get an MKI, I definitely would give it that red/tan setup...super nice!!

Esfuerzate y no te rindas. Cumple tu sueño y no mueras sin haberlo logrado. Los sacrificios dan recompensas y este si que lo vale.

Is it normal to cry after watching this video
The eagle emblem is nicknamed the 'screaming chicken'!
original mr2 is a masterpiece
Decent MR2. To bad it’s not supercharged. I also don’t like how you painted all the outside trim red
Ha! I was listening to Tycho last night in my AW11, then I came across this video today.
What a coincidence!! Haha ;)
That is clean af
Muy bueno, gracias! Tengo un MR2 tambien.
Gracias a tí, Andy! Que disfrutes tu MR2!! :)
Espero que sí, pero es roto. Es un proyecto de restauración .

Why haven't TRD made a bodykit for this MR2?
+Ayix M. Bodykits are for ricers, this car is not.
So the 22b, AW11 222D and many others were ricers? weird...
Adoro los mr2....pero que modelo es este ...ese tipo de techos no me.gusta. hay otro q tiene quema coco ese es el que tendre algum dia
I just picked up an imported 87 supercharged with 47k miles for 6k lel
COOL!!! nice purchase!!! Not so easy here in Spain... Enjoy it!!!
Hermoso AW11. Yo tengo uno del 86' con mucho trabajo de restauración, acá por si quieren ver el proyecto
