Love this car!!! I have one in yellow and it’s stock and I have no more desires for anything more. The 1zz engine is actually a really good fit for this car.
Got a modded red one here in the UK.. The handling is on another level. Imo far better than a mx5. Only thing is no storage. I've done some mods to it and it always gets looks from people. Got a different emblem on mine so people aren't sure what it is. Cheap to run, but the storage issue. Aaarrrh!
I'm in the UK too! It just depends what you're trying to store I guess. I can get a week's shopping for 2 in mine even with my girlfriend in the passenger seat. Obviously a lot more when it's just me. What emblem do you have, is it the MR-S screaming chicken one?
Hey mate. I've actually removed the rear bin doors today so that may make somemore room, hopefully along with the spare tyre gone from the front. It's got a black background with the screaming chicken and no badges on the rear
@@dinono10 I thought about that but don't like the idea of anything back there not being hidden. How does it look? I have the same badge but blue. What region are you in? I'm in the North West! Considered removing the spare wheel too but didn't wanna mess with the weight at the front too much!
Anyone new in the comments thats interested in buying one. Get one before price goes up, its already climbing. I'm glad I found one for 3.3k horrible paint but excellent interior and mint engine
I bought mine for 1500, 2 engines and 3 transmissions later and I still love it (although I wanna punch whoever said they're reliable 😂). Just put rims on it and it looks 20 years newer.
to be honest, I love the car since 2 fast 2 furious... for me, it's such a compact car, small but fun. it's RWD as well. I'm planning to get it when I got enough money.
Where i live the cost is like miata NA or NB, but other parts are more expensive like hardtop or swaybars or even bodykits(sideskirts spoilers). Its also hard to find short shifter for one then u need to buy is from wish or something china-lke xD. Anyway i feel like its better option than a miata in terms of possibilities u can do with it. Wanna go hard? throw v6 inside. If u do this with miata u wont have that much traction etc :P. And its more rare to find on roads wich is pros i think
Bought Mine 2012 for 4200€ including Hardtop, SMT 2001 I think it had 60k Miles on . Had two accidents With it (wet street ,Axe broke ) easy cheap fixes

Hey I just discovered your channel today! Nice car, I think it's hard to obtain a good looking MRS but your's reaaly nice ^^ I think some thin race side-mirrors would look really nice on it!
Jesus,its been a while...I remember seeing this on ThatDudeInBlue's channel and it was silver.Now me seeing this makes me realised how much I missed,Gotta rewatch the old videos haha
Every word you said is true....totally agree with you..help me make mine ...though mine is yellow. Do help me with what parts of other toyotas can we use in this. Thanks love your car love your videos.

Hey bro I've been looking into this car and I'm almost convinced in buying it, but one question; would a tall person fit comfortably? I'm 6ft so small cars don't always do it for me sometimes.
hello from liverpool uk! you got it looking very nice mate! whats the body kit and arches called on yours? i have just put a deposit down on a 2001 toyota mr-s 59,000 miles, its has few extra differences including LSD and a few other fancy bits! should be collecting the end of next week and a really nice bargain at £1250.00!!!
Nice!! Lsd is def a nice bonus. My flares and front bumper (el creation replica) are from CL performance on Instagram, side skirts and rear is TRD. Watch my video on CL PERFORMANCE before you buy
Im really looking into getting an MR2 and i gotta ask what year do you have? Ive always seen people say dont buy pre 2003 because they leak oil and have Converter problems. However they vary in price so much. Some people want 10k for a 2003 while others want 5.
If you buy an mr2 that’s a pre-03 (00-02), the main issue is the pre-cats; catalytic converters in the headers. These years’ Achilles heel is that they suck up pre-cat material into the engine, scarring the walls and possibly damaging the rings, meaning blow by and burning oil. However, that doesn’t mean all 00-02 are bad. If you go look at one to buy, smell the oil off of the dipstick. If it smells like you dunked your finger in gasoline, and the owner says they’ve recently changed the oil, run away. If it doesn’t smell too much like gas, and the oil isn’t brand new, it’s probably in good condition. After you buy any 00-02 MR2, the first order of business is to remove said pre-cats, which can be done by removing the header and either smacking the material out with long screwdriver/etc, or replacing the header with a catless one such as PPE or whatnot. Hope ya learned something :)
@@sayde435 generally, there is another set of cats in the midpipe. The pre-cats are really only there for when the car is cold. Otherwise the main cat takes care of emissions. (Not legal advice)
That's a sweet-looking conversion you've done. Excellent, really. But please try not to follow the trend of 5-likes/5-dislikes, and such. That's so routine as to no longer be interesting. Do something more relevant to ownership like maintaining the car. How hard is it to maintain with the mods you have. What would you have done differently, and why? Continue to add to your story of ownership. Answer the questions of why own one based on why you chose the MR2. What worries you about owning the car? Inquiring minds want to know. :)
Noted!! Thank you for your support and suggestions! I’ll post the 5 dislike video becuase I already recorded it BUT I’ll continue to make those videos!
My friend has this car but his looks way better without all the over kill modifications. In my opinion those wheel well add ons and the fin at the back make the car look silly. That's just my opinion though.

How much did that cost and do you do it yourself or have a shop do it?
I have one with 83,000 kms, parents kept it 10 years in the garage for me luckily
So lucky for real.

Its also hard to find short shifter for one then u need to buy is from wish or something china-lke xD. Anyway i feel like its better option than a miata in terms of possibilities u can do with it.
