Mr2s are fun but not for a person with no motor experience at all. Most work you really want to do yourself because of teh rarity of the cars it makes someone who knows about working on the car even more rare. Then on top that when they know there good they charge out the ass!!!!! Be patient is my advise... Dont be afraid to travel the country to get your 2 either. I know because my turbo was in NC when I got it.Sometiems you get lucky though my prestine 88 n/a was 5 houses down. If you ever need any help when/if you get one hit me up I have pretty good mr2 knowledge considering I have done everything there is to do to that damn 3sgte... Mechanically anyway. not performance though I have gotten pretty close to that too...
