Perhaps its all those hours watching us fuss over our British projects, maybe its wanting to follow his older brother...at any rate, young son has found his 1st car. A 1986 Toyota MR2....I hope I don't regret this....

cool lots of fun potential there
 
I'd take an MR2, from what I've been told these first series models of the MR2 are excellent sports cars...

That's what I'm concerned about. The guy we are buying it from has said he will throw in a supercharger he bought for it too! Just what I need! I've already told him the supercharger goes on the "parts shelf" until he has driven it for 2 years without a ticket or an accident! (I'll probably have to lock it up to just try and keep the other 2 "boys" off of it!) LOL
 
The supercharger is a whole different story... :devilgrin: And I can't say that I blame you

Speaking of MR2's, I just spotted a really nice MR2 today, tuned and lowered, with just some mild custom bodywork
 
I almost bought one of those with a 20 valve 4AGE engine swapped in. Actually I should have bought it. Little rocket with 170hp bolt in horsepower and independent throttle bodies.
 
I just hope you don't ever have to bleed the cooling system. It's one of those nightmare jobs, ranked right up there with a malfunctioning power convertable top on a late 50s early 60s Ford
I agree. gen 1 MR2 are great little cars. plenty of scoot, and handeling to boot. They make a good, cheap (relativly), track car.
 
Since that car's an '86, it definitely not an original supercharged car. even if the blower is a factory item, I don't think it'll bolt in straight away. Just a note!
