    • @TheAnalXylophone

      Hmm, is there a specialised mkIII Supra shop, as is Prime for MR2s?

    • @AeRiaL_
      @AeRiaL_ 6 років тому +5

      I'm unaware of this with the MK3, did it just keep blowing headgaskets? What was the problem?

    • @andersonjukebox8315
      @andersonjukebox8315 6 років тому +15

      AeRiaL Basically the 7M-GTE (the engine Americans were stuck with) werent able to handle the turbo they shoehorned in, so the headgaskets blew. Extremely frequently. Same situation as the MR2 apparently. Some fellas figured out the correct amount of pressure to torque wrench the headgasket to make it... better, but eh... It had other problems as well, I guess with the fuel pump.
      Toyota made the legendary and over engineered 1JZ (Japan only... woo...) in response to this. A lot of people just swap out their 7M for a 1JZ or 2JZ.

    • @evilr32

      Fuck trueno/AE86 circlejerk caused by that anime. MR2s and Celica GTFours are much better cars than AE86 or Supra ever was... thanks to this stupid circlejerking it's impossible to get AE86 or Supras for proper prices. Instead they cost 3-4 times as much as they ever should, but then MR2 and Celica's dodged the bullet of mainstream circlejerking......

    @MrSaturn7085 6 років тому +1

    As someone who owned a '91 Turbo that put down about 430-450 whp by the time I finally sold it, I'd put the trap-door air volume sensor up there pretty high on problems, as well. Less for reliability reasons and more as a roadblock to tuning the motor once modified. Other annoyance include access to the fuel tank, the electro-hydraulic power steering system (all of it), the cable clutch, and the double pulley throttle/cruise motor. And then there's the pneumatic-controlled variable intake manifold, the 5th fuel injector in the throttle, the crazy pneumatic staged boost control and relief valve... the list goes on. This car was literally a dumping ground for all the crazy engineering projects Toyota had in the early 90's.

    • @jacoblharris
      @jacoblharris 6 років тому +1

      Most everything you listed was corrected with the JDM 94+ MR2s and the gen3 engine. No more AFM, TVIS, or cold start injector. The MR2 never had a cable clutch though, always hydraulic.

    • @MrSaturn7085
      @MrSaturn7085 6 років тому

      Yeah, and that would be fantastic except we didn't get any of that here. Hydraulic clutch? What did I replace the bushing on with a brass bearing then... shift linkage cable? It's been about 8 years since I sold mine off.

It was even owned by an older gentleman and we ended up agreeing on a price and I was back the next day to pick it up. Unfortunately I sold it because I was a little too tall to be able to comfortably fit and the seat wouldn't recline any more. It was a truly beautiful car to look at and to drive.

    I can attest to all of this. I'm going through hell sorting my car out right now. Bought my mr2 turbo as it stood, "someone else's project". I think I do have a blown headgasket, and the intercooler fans I had did not work. I actually just bought a little specialty rad hose from Prime MR2, and they had to wait on the part from Toyota. He communicated this greatly though, and even refunded my shipping and sent a key tag in as well. I asked for neither haha. Great company, difficult car..

    I actually just found out about this company a couple weeks ago while looking for parts for my aw11; nice.

    Apart from the rear spoiler, wheels and colour, that is exactly how I'd want a Mk2 MR2 to look.

    I really want to make my SW20 show worthy some day, it has 400K miles on the original motor and clutch, its my daily driver at the moment. Part of me wants to do an electric conversion, but the other half of me wants to keep it semi pure and do a turbo swap, or maybe an MK3 engine. I get a lot of parts at mr2srus but prime driven will probably be my next stop, they have good prices on all the replacement trim pieces that have cracked that i need. I should probably address the suspension first though, most of its original.

      I swtg I will personally show up to your house and shame, not you, but your parents for raising such a disappointment if you convert it to electric.

    Shout out needed for Honda Preludes, for the small popularity/ fierce loyalist crowd.
