Yup, I'm finally going to do it, it seems. After being in the MR2 world for ~10 years, I'm moving on. Personal circumstances have forced me to consolidate down to one car.

I'll put this up here for those that don't want to read the thread:
ASKING PRICE - $11,850 OBO

The short facts: I'm the 3rd owner, AFAIK. The chassis has 116,8XX miles, the powertrain has ~40k (? JDM clip). It's a T-Top car with ALL options - power everything, leather, cruise, A/C, P/S, ABS.

The gen3 clip was swapped complete - body harness, engine harness, etc no hacks. This car is probably one of the most SOLID SW20's I've been in. It is also IMHO, the best possible ride quality you can get for amount the car is dropped (little to no gap all around). I drive this car all around Chicago where the roads suck. Like any lowered car with bigger rims, the big bumps aren't fun, but it soaks up all the rest MUCH better than all the coilover cars I've been in, and the majority of lowered vehicles I've been in, in general.

The interior is SUPER CLEAN - I'd give it a 9/10. The paint is original Toyota 202 Black and has seen better days (I'd give it a 6.5/10), but still shines great. A complete buff job would do wonders for this car. On cloudy days or dusk it looks like a million bucks. In the sun you can see all the imperfections. However it has a super deep reflection and no fading/hazing except slightly on the rear spoiler (which should buff out)... I can't even get a camera to capture it, it so faint. The car has no rust except a quarter sized bubble at the top right of the windshield.

The car has never seen snow in my possesion and has been rained on less than 5 times. The previous owner said some lady backed into the front/side of the car in a parking lot and dented the RF door and fender pretty decently. The insurance replaced that door and fender and some of the red under the new paint at the bottom of the door can be seen in bright light. The door could use to be repainted, but it's in the shadow of the bottom half of the door and hasn't bothered me enough in 7 years to do anything about it.

The car has a clean clear title and carfax. The car drives as straight as an arrow. With the help of a 40 year+ performance vet, we dialed in the alignment on a brand new Hunter photo/laser alignment rack to the EXACT specs I wanted for camber, caster, and toe all the way around and it shows. The car tracks perfectly straight at any speed. All of the wheels and tires balance perfectly. There is absolutely ZERO shake in the steering wheel at any speed - part of why this car feels like the most solid SW20 I've ever driven. The car also has all of the 93+ factory suspension upgrades (xmember, tie rods, sway bar, etc).

With the seats, steering wheel, and all power functions working flawlessly, it feels like a much newer car. I have put well over $15,000 in parts alone into this car to make it the ultimate street car, IMO.

I will be the first to say that thing is beautiful

 

... and it needs to go! I love the car but I will no longer have a parking spot for it. The g/f and I are getting married and I'm forced into having one car - and it needs to be slightly more practical than a RWD mid-engined 2-seater.
