didnt do much research due to time honestly>
my brother and i wanted a car for daily use, pretty much for him to go to work so we saw an mr2 for sale for 3500 91 mr2, 5sfe manual. with 120K miles. question is simple. how much different is it from the celi? like i know same engine, mid engine rwd. but other than that, is it harder to work on for simple little things that are common with 5s and are mods like exhaust, header intake harder to install? good buy or should we settle for something different in the same price range. we just need a beater -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

It's a b*tch to work on. Seriously. EVERYTHING requires you to be bent over the side of the car, which is a pain in the neck - literally. If you need to do any motor work you'll need to drop the subframe and remove the motor, which isn't too bad once you've done it two or three times. You get to know the car REALLY fast.
If it is a t-top model and it rains you'll probably get soaked. T-top seals are around $300 for a set. Short of that, I love my MR-2. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
 I'm not really an asshole, but I play one on the internet. **** Photobucket |
