Very Nice happy
Posted By: BMW Joe Re: Mrkeefus's mr2 - 19th Feb 2008 4:10pm
Very nice.

Have you done much to it?
Posted By: mrkeefus Re: Mrkeefus's mr2 - 19th Feb 2008 4:58pm
Well i've only had it about a month an already had to replace the clutch £285 (bollocks'd presure plate), 2 back tyre's £160 (very nice yoko's)and the discs an pads upfront another £70!

You can get a supercharged 3 litre V6 dropped in for 3k, which is very temptin! Anyone need a kidney? Lol!

got a few things i wanna do to it but nothing major, wanna fit a short shift an snap off wheel inside an eventually go for a body kit. I've fitted a dvd head unit and screen an replaced all the speakers up front and done some custom 6x9's behind the seats so its gettin there.

Incidentally, ive got a 12"diamond audio sub and DLS amp up for grabs if anyones interested, no room to squeeze it in the 2 so its just sittin goin to waste.
Posted By: BMW Joe Re: Mrkeefus's mr2 - 19th Feb 2008 5:03pm
for free or u want cash for it? I'll have it off your hands for nothin lol

what body kit you after?

Any pics of your hu?

I think it look nice how it is now without a body kit smile

Heh seeing this makes me wish I ad gone for an MR2 instead of me 420 lol. Still, I got plenty of time in the future I suppose.

One of my fave car's of all time the MkI and MkII MR2's, love them to bits, so am biased, but fook that car is beautiful!!

grin
Posted By: mrkeefus Re: Mrkeefus's mr2 - 19th Feb 2008 7:03pm
the sub an amp aint for free mate! Lol!

I might be dumb, but i aint stupid! Lol

Not sure on the kit, might jus fettle the side vents an the rear bumper, its Cheaper!!
Posted By: mrkeefus Re: Mrkeefus's mr2 - 19th Feb 2008 7:06pm
matt, When ya say 420, do ya mean a ......ROVER?

Thats almost as bad as tony's ovlov! Lol
Posted By: MattLFC Re: Mrkeefus's mr2 - 19th Feb 2008 7:10pm
Yeah heh tease

I wanted an MR2 and the insurance was fine, only about £400 a year... but the lack of rear seats was impractical for me right now.

Soz mate, i know how anoyin it is needin to hav a "family wagon/sensible car". luckily the missus wrote of her car, a SH*TE astra estate, so she inherited my sensible car, TD focus, which in all honesty is quite fun, plenty of lift off oversteer!!! an i bought the highly practical 2!Lol
Posted By: MattLFC Re: Mrkeefus's mr2 - 19th Feb 2008 8:27pm
Not family reasons... yet. But I do often have kid's and need me car for practicality atm.

so what your really tryin to say..is that you
A) often entice kids into your car as b) ypu dont have any of your own...but enjoy kiddy "company" and if you had a mr2...you wouldnt be able to "entice" kiddywinks in as easily...and it would be faar more noticeable...



lol
Posted By: MattLFC Re: Mrkeefus's mr2 - 19th Feb 2008 8:33pm
Lol nah I always get rigged into looking after me sisters kids/me mates kids as I have all the time in the world so they see me as a childminder.

Also, two back seats are handy for other things lol... like carrying crap in.
