I own a first gen MR2, I bought it off a friends dad when they moved back out to BC, since there's no damn room for luggage anywhere :D So far I just have the front and rear exterior pictures. For the most part it's in great condition, all of the rust was cut out, and metal was re-welded on, and then she was painted red, with a gold pearl (previous owners choice). So really the only rust is on the underside of the car, but I would like to restore it when I have money to replace the components! The previous owners also replaced the stock exhaust system with a dual exhaust setup, and yes, they both work, it's not just cosmetic. There is also a fair sized dent in the front bumper, as well as some denting on the underside (most likely from my stupid friend driving over speedbumps too fast). Anyways, I'm hoping to take some more pictures after I do some more mods, but here's the exterior pics!

I'm mostly planning to work on interior styling this year, as money is a little short, I'm not sure if I will get into much performance for a while!

Current list of mods includes:
K&N Filter replaced stock setup
Optima Redtop Battery
APC H4 Headlight Conversion Kit w/ PIAA Extreme Whites
Audiovox Mobile Multimedia Head Unit
Momo Combat Evo Red Shift Knob
Toyota Shift Boot
Ractive Sport Pedals, red and black, for some reason, I couldn't get the accelerator pedal to stay on, if anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it!

In the near future:
-KYB G2 Gas Struts/Boots, Intrax Lowering Springs (1.5" all around), Moog Tie End Rods...I guess this is kind of a forced modification as I blew the drivers side front spring/strut taking corners to fuckin fast, bent the inner tie rod ends as well
-Momo Commando Steering Wheel, red and black (friggen backordered, another week hopefully)
-OEM Center Panel Armrest if I can find one...still no luck
-Interior painting (professionally) to match car color/steering wheel/shift knob

In the distant future:
-Extreme Dimensions F-1 Front Bumper (I hate my cracked/dented bumper :P)
-Racing Seats Ractive 70010's Red and Black/Harnesses
-3SGTE swap (faster than jesus!)

Nathan you have to get on the MR2oc site and start searching. The T-tops are factory and were offered between 87-89. They did leak but I fixed them thanks to the MR2 board. Another site is http://www.mr2wiki.com/Main/HomePage This will give you great information and answers to what years had what options. I think all the supercharged versions were t-topped.

Great looking 2! We need as many Canadians as we can to buy these cars up, and make sure they get well taken care of. Too many are being abused, and slaughtered. Sign up on mr2oc.com if you haven't already. You will never have a question that can't be answered there. Come check out my SC from Sask.
