@shred316 hi how you been?
Monday, 11-Jun-12 16:09:55 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@renovatedkitchen Awesome sauce!!! I thinking about an MR2!!!
Monday, 11-Jun-12 16:12:27 UTC from web-

@shred316 mr2's are great. Not a fan of the 5sfe engine, but the 3sgte is really good. They had a problem with rust though. They rust very quickly. Also, the saggy doors and the hood, passanger side by the headlight doesn't seem to align properly. Possibly it's a post crash vehicle or just not well maintained. It's cheap, but I am still very weary.

@renovatedkitchen I'm thinking about asking $2000 to drive it away. I want a mid-engine, but not a fiero and I can't afford a Lotus or anything. I would probably do a swap for a Celica GT4 3SGTE. As far as rust and ware, I can definately handle it.

@shred316 engine swaps are pretty tough and very expensive. You'll need a 3sgte tranny too. I would personally say wait. After I bought mine I regretted it very much. Sometimes waiting is the best thing to do even if you want a car right at that moment. And good 3sgte's aren't cheap.

@renovatedkitchen Well, I'd wait a bit for the swap, but I still want an MR22.

@shred316 they are great cars. Plus then you aren't a taxi. But I would really wait for a better deal. I know it's hard not to buy one, but once you have it you will regret it.

@renovatedkitchen Ok, so ye' expert. What should I look for in a 2nd Gen MR2?
Monday, 11-Jun-12 16:39:16 UTC from web-
@shred316 I'm not an expert, but I really wanted one before I went for a DSM. Make sure body panels line up all around, look for flaky paint, look for bubbling on the paint. Look out for rust spots and rust spots in the engine bay, check the engines compression, make sure it doesn't make any ticking sounds, be relaxed when you test drive it do you can listen and feel for any abnormalities, make sure there is no white or blue exhaust after its been idling for a while, find out of its had any aftermarket parts installed, make sure AC and heat works. Make sure it pulls smoothly.

@renovatedkitchen Those go for any car. I know all of those and other small things to look for.
Monday, 11-Jun-12 16:49:30 UTC from web-
@shred316 I know. But I'm just saying that in particular, watch out for rust on sw20's
Monday, 11-Jun-12 16:53:35 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@renovatedkitchen Ok. What panels should I look out for in particular.
Monday, 11-Jun-12 16:55:41 UTC from web-
@shred316 I would just say all the lower panels. Rust was their major problem.
Monday, 11-Jun-12 17:11:42 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@renovatedkitchen On all gens?
Monday, 11-Jun-12 17:12:59 UTC from web-
@shred316 mk2 for sure. Not sure on the mk1's.
