I’ve always loved MR2s. I’ve had quite a few, maybe around 20 and all Mk1’s apart from a couple of Mk2s which I didn’t get along with. I still own two Mk1’s, one is retro fitted with a Celica GT4 engine running around 400bhp but hasn’t been on the road for 3 years now due to a number of reasons.
Since the age of 17 until last year I’ve always had two cars on the road, usually one sensible daily and a fun / unusual car. Most recently a Daihatsu Mira Avanzato 660cc, then a Mk1 Nova, a Punto GT and a Clio 172. I sold the Clio when I started a storage business last year and I’ve sorely missed having something to blast around in.
My Mk1’s need a lot of work / money spending so I’ve scratched the itch by buying this little Japanese Import ‘MRS’. It is slow as hell but good fun, handles well. My 6 year old loves it.. we’ve been to a couple of shows / meets which we both enjoyed.
Voila
Immediate plans: I am trying to find a hard top for a reasonable price. Also looking at Celica 190s / Corolla T Sports for the 2ZZ engine swap which should have been offered from the factory originally.
