Re: 1990 MR2 GT
Looks pretty decent. Might get a gas strut for a prop rod, best mod ever. Bet that BOV gets to be a bit annoying.

Nahhhhhh that BOV is what I fell in love with.
My kids and I have always had a joke. Vroom Vrooom Swish, the swish part is a loud BOV

Re: 1990 MR2 GT
Did you buy that from Fortis Cars in Papatoetoe? It looks like the one I test drove and returned to the dealer on the end of a tow rope

There are two major problems with the car at this point. Water pump is leaking and oil leaks all over the car.

Re: 1990 MR2 GT
Yeah, the cooling system was what put me off buying that one, it blew a hose off as I was driving it back to the dealer, and all the red RTV silicon around the hoses made me a bit suspicous.
The oil leaks aren't that bad, you should see the one I just bought.. It leaks more than the 89 Lancia beater i'm driving.

Re: 1990 MR2 GT
The brakes on the parts car are spoken for already unfortunately, it was part of the deal with buying the other GTS, old owner is taking the suspension/brakes/crossmemembers off the parts car.. otherwise he was going to wreck the car and part it out.
