Fixing a Toyota Mr2 That fills with water
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2024
- So the car had sat covered for a few years when the old top was on it. But after replacing the top I assumed it could sit out in the rain without issue. .. I was wrong. While the new top fit well, it was actually the drain ports that had clogged at the bottom where they exit. So.. lets fix it and test it out
You gotta love your Toyota! My sister‘s Camry has been passed around my family for 15 years! It went from my mom, to my aunt, then to finally my sister, we named it Bonnie!
Can’t thank you enough for how helpful this is!
Great investment,and a good summer cruiser.Thanks for the 'drain info'.Never knew about those.
I had a 2001 in that exact color scheme with the top you described. I liked driving it more than Miatas. Only complaint was it had a typical Toyota 4 banger and since it was right in your ears you could hear every clack and click. Sounded like a tractor at times. I do NOT envy you having to replace the top. The way they tensioned it to keep it sealed with strings crisscrossing everywhere required a PhD to figure out.
It really isn't the prettiest sounding engine. When I come to a stop and go out of gear, I hear what I think to be clutch chatter from the aftermarket clutch and it drives me mad.
@@MatthewVanceMusic I changed to the available highest perf Toyo tires in 2003 and the road noise was intense. Still, hearing every pebble and every valve open/close I still enjoyed the hell out of driving it. It's like driving a grown man's go-kart. If you don't have legs too long.
This has always been one of my favorite cars!
Dang man, you was getting a bit rough with that screw driver lol, at least the little Toyota liked it😂
Glad to see it was a simple fix Jay 🙂👍 Take care and happy wrenching 🔧🔩
Thanks for posting this - had exactly the same problem, this helped a lot!
Glad it helped! I open mine up a clean them twice a year or so just to make sure there’s no issues. Never leaked water since!
Sharp car Jay. Headlights need attention though.
I guess the spider's demise was Toyota getting out of the spots car market. The Supra lid a rebadged BMW roadster.
Doing gods work for those of us with clogged drains
Here in Brazil this car doesn't exist... Nice car.
Here in the UK I bought two new old stock headlight units from the local Toyota dealership 6 years ago, £200 each. Ditto rear light units.
Mr smart geart video great car I had same problem when if first got mine but all the carpet was wet quick way to clean dry out in the UK was to remove centre console 4 screws a few clips and both seats takes 20 min then once clean ADULTS ONLY light your bbq and quickly place lid on bbq before it gets too hot and carpet on lid and keep the carpet moving so not to burn lots of steam lots of fun and dry clean carpet 😀
Cool Car, Jay!!
If that hadn't worked, I was gonna recommend some Liquid Plumr. 😄 That will definitely cause some rust for sure over time. Not to mention mold. Thanks for the tip, Jay! 👍
The part where you was sticking the screwdriver in… just to let you know, that also pops off if you need to run it under some hot water. You can then click it back on.
This reminds me of my 1969 Mustang convertible that retained so much water that my friends suggested I get a couple gold fish to put in the back
Good video bud something new I learn thank you for that enjoy video
Also regularly check the hole under the sill where the water drains out to the ground.
Remove the two plastic floor panels too! There will be water under there and that’s where the evap system, wire harness n Ecu
I guess with those headlights you only drive it during the day xD all jokes aside it's really nice. (please polish those headlights up)
Nice frog Jay!
I heard that the carpet has a rubber liner inside it, so you may dry the "top" carpet but below, it may still be wet on the floorboard/metal .... not sure how true this is, but worth checking you would hate for that to happen
NICE CAR
When I removed the top off of my '67 Mustang convertible it had a damn gutter around the back....barely had any paint on it at all! Freaked me out!
That's crazy I just bought one not too long ago and we've had storms and when I drive it I hear water on that exact same side but not ik how to fix it. Thanks
Nice car. It kinda looks like a Pontiac solstice
Looks like somebody painted over the Toyota emblem. I wonder if the bumper is a different color underneath the green.
Hey jay just wondering how many miles did the 99 Camry have on it? And I was wondering what that song was in the same video from time stamp 0:20 on the 99 Camry video
You can also pour or spray rubbing alcohol on your carpet it will help clean out the water cause it'll evaporate quicker and I won't hurt your postery
Be careful! It's flammable!
THANK YOU!!!
Nice 😀
My friend cooper gums use to have a mr2 just like that one except his was white he sold it last year and gotta 2013 gmc yukon
I'm not a big Toyota fan but that looks like a fantastic summer car.
Nice car, I hope if you can pull that carpet back while it's drying and wipe it dry underneath or she's gonna start rusting in the floor
Headlights need immediate attention.
A MURR 2! Why didn’tcha tell me you had one?!
In case your mr 2 turns into a fish bowl 😁
That drain hole in 9 months🤰
Great little car
Go for top money in Ireland, but the Japanese Imports command stupid money
There was a black Japanese Spec MR-S Spyder with 92 thousand miles on it and it was like 22 thousand Euro
Wow.
I think this and the Solara was the last convertible Toyota did. I could be wrong?????
Toyota-branded, probably yes. Technically the second generation Lexus IS also had a convertible version, and of course the SC 430 but we all know how much of a disaster that car was.
There's also the new LC, but those are quite a bit more expensive and limited production.
It's a shame the headlight lens is cracked.
i had a cousin who owned one of these
Never see a car like that
First
Well then here's you a goldstar ⭐
Jay that's not a real MR2 it's a Pontiac GT 2000 mixed it a Toyota Celica
