Happy New Year to ALL of you! What is your New Year’s Resolution going into 2022?

As a mid 70s baby and a 90s teen, the MR2 was always one of my favorite cars growing up. Nice work!

[autoemotion]

It just amazes me how well designed old cars are and the quality of the materials. Also, blue interior! What!!!

[HunGopher]

90-92 Normally Aspirated, 5 Speed in midnight blue metallic, with some very nice options, such as the upgraded stereo, security system and power steering. looks to be REALLY good shape given the time it's been sitting outside in the elements, and looking even better now. Good work! if I get my MR2 back on the road, I'll give you another video to make with one of these go karts.

If I was a mouse, I’d think I had the nicest place in the land!

[ACURACLTYPESLOW]

If the new owner wraps it after how great it turned out he’s a mad man! Excellent work!

This gen MR2 and the RX-7 were the cars I really wanted when I was turning 16

Thanks for the blast from the past. My sister had a red MR-2 like this when new and I had the 3rd generation '93 Rx-7 in red too at the time. Her MR-2 was a beast to polish because it felt like they did not put a clear coat on it and every time you polish and wax it, your polishing cloths looked like a murder scene and they were all red. It sounded cool when driven hard and people thought it was a Ferrari.

Wishing you both all the good fortune you deserve in 2022. It’s so nice to see a channel with no agenda, just two hard working guys who seem like genuinely good people. Cheers.

A couple of things to do would be to ensure the spark plug holes are fully dry as water will stay in there and cause issues later. Also best to block off the intake as I can see it's open here. Water inside the engine isn't great.

Good job on the detail, looks awesome! 😊

I love the brush attachment for the drill. what a great way to scrub carpets and fabric seats.

The resiliency of car materials blows my mind.

Happy New Year to the both of you from Australia, it is 1.10am Saturday the 1st of January here. :)

A friend gave me a Toyota Solara that had been parked for years in a barn. It was in much the same condition as the MR2, so this video brought back memories of how satisfying it was to clean it, get caught up on needed services, and then start using it as a daily driver. After I left he started using it again, and he drove the Solara until he passed away.

Great Detail! Although I will note something being an mr2 owner is that you can remove the arm rest panel and clean that whole area because it tends to build up of dirt. Amazing vid!

[mrdailydrivn]

I definitely need to do this to my MR2s....great work!!!

[SadDusti]

probably should have taped off the intake prior to degreasing and spraying water in the engine compartment. Otherwise, great job!

MR2 owner. Front normally has a liner in it. It houses the battery which has a tie down and then the spare fits overtop of it in the molded liner. The trunk still had it's carpet liner in it which is cool as that's getting harder and harder to get ahold of. Still had the "sport" 14inch wheels. I sold mine years ago but kind of which I hadn't. Today I have blitz Type03's on it. The car is nearly rear engine with how far back it sits and definitely handles a lot more like an old porsche. As other comments pointed out taping off a lot of the electronics is a wise idea to ensure nothing happens. I've not had too many issues with mine but I also don't typically hose down the engine bay. The paint I believe is a single stage paint and super soft as well as didn't hold up well to daily driving in my opinion. Like all pop ups they love to "wink" as the motors wear out. The frame rails love to rust on these and I spent a number of years looking for one that was relatively clean. I also specifically looked for a hardtop to avoid the dreaded t-top leaking which I got to experience in my Z32 300zx. As this car was a 5SFE car I bet that thing would run after being dunked in the ocean. The 3SGTE isn't terrible but definitely more temperamental. Easy way to tell the Turbo and non-Turbo's apart is the engine decklid is flush for NA cars and raised vents for Turbo cars. You'll also get people trying to tell you about the twin turbo MR2 that they swear they saw back in the day but are referring to "twin-entry turbo" badging that was on the cars. Weather seals are a pain in the ass to get ahold of and I bought some from Toyota 8 years ago or so for when I do a full restore on mine. The transaxle in these, S54 for the non turbo and E153 for the turbo are solid units. The E153 is incredibly stout and can take a ton of abuse. The cars were made available with basically no aides and my car has no ABS, no power steering or power windows. On the interior of the car, behind the rear seats are two cubbies. An option for some MR2's is a subwoofer in the cubby. Your mouse nest is all the sound deadening between the firewall and the cabin. Looks like it ripped up most of it and relocated it :) . Great job on that mr. two.

So lucky to get a free car like this after an estate sale glad you guys made it look great again

[kgisabeast]

As a kid i always thought these were one of the coolest looking cars, and it still is! Doubt they’ll ever make something like this again
