Me and my dad both own one, 1990 gt turbo and a 1994 na, great cars and highly recommended, been watching ur channel for ages, ur channel is blowing up and i hope more people come across your channel! Thanks for all the content Rex from a fellow mr2 owner from NZ!
Fam, i had one of these at 17-21... Im now 38, oldest kid is looking at buying their first car... im super tempted to get another MR2, low key so i can drive it when their not looking! haha best car i ever had, including owning a SRT JEEP, BMW X5 M, never had more fun in any car than i did with the MR2... I used to wind the headlights out to be half up and drive around like I was a boss! hahaha good times!
I looked at getting one when I first started driving 14 to 15 years ago but bought into the "it's a super unsafe death trap" BS. I wish I'd never listened cause now the price has gone up 10-12k. At least they remain in the hands of people who really care for and love these vehicles rather than in scrapyards across the US.
@@squeebbb I bought one finally before they started getting real expensive. She doesn’t run and needs a lot done before I can even think of sending her in for a roadworthy but she is mine haha
the T-bar seals are the same price as 4 new tyres and it's a 1 time fix for 15 years.. makes no sense, just get new seals if it leaks. rev2 was the steering and brake change, rev3 was just more power.
I have a 1990 GTS rhd that was imported to the US a long time ago before I got it, is now a built gen4 gsgte (forged Pistons and rods) but STILL running the oem e153
I have a 1997 Rev 5, red top beams vvti, non-turbo, auto, 'sonic', tin top, it's quite rare so hard to get parts for, I usually repair anything that breaks, trim etc, but anyway my question, coil overs or kings springs, it's already low but i'd like to drop it an inch or two, and do bigger sway bars front and rear make a big difference?
Hi Rex, Check your emails! I sent you a link for brand new seals for your Targa tops. No mods needed just replace them... did you adjust your hand break you should only have 3 -5 clicks when you apply it..
POP POP POP UP AND DOWN HEAD LIGHTS !!!
A MOH POWAH BABEH
SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SKRRRRRRR

Thats awesome! And cheers my dude :)
ooof the 1990 is a killer you should avoid any mr2s that were made before 93
I own a 93 turbo great car
Bro I've been looking f noor top speed of the MR2 2.2L they NA version, do you remember what it was?

Hey I’m currently located in Atlanta and selling my 1990 Toyota MR2. It’s 67k miles let me know if you’re interested!
MR2 is now chilling in my garage. Nice.
Can’t wait to get my mr2
Me 2
Did you end up getting one?
@@DeadPool-vm1kx ^^
Still looking for one?
Mate your videos are getting very professional, congrats!!!
Just bought mine yesterday. White 91 MR2 a/t 129xxx. It has issues but I love the damn thing!
Just picked up one to it’s a running project
how tall are you bro? i’m 6’2 ish so do you think it’ll be comfortable for me to drive this mr2?
Just bought a 2000 Camry and found your videos, you seem like you’ve come along way and you just earned a new sub!!
Bruh you should be at 100k+ 😂 editing is alot better than youtubers with triple your subs .
Actually it was the Rev 2 that fixed the snap oversteer (you can tell cause it has wider tires and 15 inch wheels compared to the Rev 1 14 inch)
So if I brought 15 inch tyres for my rev1 that would fix the snap oversteer?
@@Lmfaowydddd best to have the suspension tuned for that as well
Saw red one sometime ago in car meeting, it's very interesting car
Have a 91T. A great car. Have read several reviews regretting previous owners who sold they their MR2s. Some have bought their cars back!
im somewhat new to learning about how cars work and i was wondering if the gear grinding would be a detrimental issue for a car like this.
If I where you since your just starting out I’d avoid any trans work until your comfy with lube work and brakes and things of that nature
I have a jdm hard top so i dont need to worry about targa leaks!!! almost finished the resto. will be up for sale too
I prefer the zenki's over kouki's
I love the 90's sportscar vibe that they give
Damn makes me wanna buy an MR2, awesome vid as always!!
Good videos as always man. Really wish I purchased one when I had the opportunity.

@@connorwhite6856 If you don't mind me asking how much and is it turbo?
@@squeebbb 9k for a 92 NA
Great vid man, havent even watched it but know its gonna be good
😍😍
Mate he's done it again
Great video man, it's helpful for me.
Next summer I WILL HAVE ONE
Doesn't the Rev2 already have the upgraded suspension? I thought it was only a rev1 thing. 🤔
Anyway, awesome video as always! :D
What was different on the Bathurst edition compared to a normal one
For starters the name...
cheeky check in a couple years later, I remember getting mine for 4700 and my mate picked one up the other day for 22500
Funny! My hardtop doesn't leak a bit😁
drive it hard with the engine oil warning light on, of course
"in America you can buy them for peanuts"..... Ahhhh, the good ol days! haha
Where’s the Carmy I miss it😭😭😭😭😭😭🏷
haha still there, she's my daily
Hello! I’m a little late to this vid but I just wanna say this video helped me so much I really want to get this car as my first car
Building my widebody 2000gt TRD replica and putting in a 3S-GTE 😁🤙
After a year since I watched this vid, I was finally able to buy my own 3sgte MR2
I own one 🤙🏽i can agree that it’s the best 90s mid engine shit box from japan 😂
same😂👌🏼
I also own a 93 turbo
@@jodarby9448 you recommended it?
@@ZackaryDi_Dio I love it
hi rex MR2 looking slick
after watching this i bought rusty mr2 jdm import with hard top as something to rescue :D
This is my dream car
Got 2 turbos 92 and 94 😁
I missed an offer for one by one day, it was only 5k and good condition :(
i saw one 100k miles for 2k

75w90 Lucas has been great for my e153 LSD
I have a 1990 GTS rhd that was imported to the US a long time ago before I got it, is now a built gen4 gsgte (forged Pistons and rods) but STILL running the oem e153
Everything I need n want
Got my dream car two years ago....nope never selling it!
as buying one for the first time and earning to how to drive maunal stick shift , is this a good car to start to learn ?
i just got a mr2 and there’s rust under the steering wheel panel 🥲
Sir the steering wheel is on the wrong side
Is the 1991 mr2 still a good choice 🤔
Extremely
Any SW20 MR2 is a good choice lol
Have you got a V6 swap video and how did you manage it for 2k?
So, is the stock transmission and drivetrain suitable for a turbo charged v12? Because that’s the kind of mod I want to do
Stock trans is good up to 800whp which is ~1000 at crank
lucky you i live in canada
Tinted "Zenki" taillights is the coolest in my opinion. Good video man!
Wondering what happened to your two door sports car

Hello! Where have you buy the body kit? Send me the link please 😉
how do you reach the engine bay in a mid-engine car? is it easy?
How do I apply the sealant for the T top to stop the leaks because man it is annoying.
Theirs only 1 in my area fairly good condition but 7k gg
What trans fluid are you talking about?
What body kit is on the yellow MR2?
I know this is a little late but what would like the max milecount be for it? I have an offer on one that is 180k miles but the owners were good to it
did you end up getting it?
What was that key doe
Very good and some good points.😄😄😄😄😄 9.5\10
does double clutching help with preventing the gears from grinding
Gears don’t grind normally, only with age with both s54 and E153
the question is where do i get a cool body kit
I have two of them ❤️
I have one as well 93 turbo
What engine did you swap into it,if it only costs 2k Australian I would def do it when I get one
Great video...yes pop up head lights !!! ....but you forgot to mention what an arse they are to work on with the tiny weak screws and rusty shrouds :)
haha I donnt think they're that badddd
to work on
I can’t wait for Toyota to slap a Toyota badge on the new mid engine corvette and call it the new mr2.
What was your first car?
Idk man. SW20s in good condition are easily $12,000 USD here in America.
what wheel specs are you on?
The mr2 I'm looking at rn has a hood that doesn't close all the way. Any fixes for that?
yea i have one
Fuck man they look pretty crisp
How the heck the swap only cost 2k you do it yourself?
OH BOI, I LOVE ZIS CAR! CAN’T WAIT TO-wait y car oversteer after me lift throttleOH NO A TREE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
welll i was stupid not to buy a mr2 sw20 for 1000 euro. and the sw20 is my favourite car
Hi Rex,
Check your emails! I sent you a link for brand new seals for your Targa tops. No mods needed just replace them... did you adjust your hand break you should only have 3 -5 clicks when you apply it..
Hi! Could you please drop the link here?
Mine are knackered!!
The leak issue is almost enough to make me ditch the car!
i'll have a look! Cheers :)
Where?
Go to mr2-ben.co.uk/products/42
P Ce I sent it to Rextonlhyt@gmail.com
Should I get one if it’s an automatic
Definitely, well that is if it's a good deal. Ideally a manual is more fun but automatic is more relaxing I guess
The one I want to buy won’t even start
2 grand?! I’m guessing you did the engine swap yourself
song name pls: ?
Bruh i found an mr2 86 for like 3k and i think it was in a minor crash
Toyota avalon 1995 engine 1mzfe .
Supercharge ur camry🤣🤘🏾🤷🏾♂️
2k grand for exhaust, yeesh
I’m 6 foot 4, am I too tall?????
If you’re mostly back then yes, if you’re mostly legs I think not
Too late bro already bought it
They aren't peanuts in america anymore..
Im in Canada and the average cost of one is 31k
