Talking Meet Squirt... not at all a lemon... ;) (mah new ride.)

I picked this up last weekend. 1991 MR2 Turbo, 112K, excellent mechanical shape, all original (except for some stupid "universal" replacement shift knob, shift boot and floormats which must have come in a set and were a kind of sickly orange/yellow... replaced them today with parts and a short shifter). Sound system is aftermarket. It's got a TON of pep; not as fast as the Supra, but a shade over 200 HP in a little car like this with it's crazy front to rear weight ratio... it's a kick in the butt! I knew all this going in though, I used to own a '93 Turbo.

There is a dent in the passenger side door which I've hear from a couple people "shouldn't" be too bad for paintless repair. and I'm still trying to find a good deal on window tint... I got lower quotes on the Supra!!! WTF??? Oh, and it's got a semi-decent respray which needs some wetsanding and buffing in some areas.

Not planning much in the way of mods right now other than a small bump in boost once I get a set of blueprinted injectors to swap in. Down the road I'll probably install a MAFT Pro to get rid of the VAFM these cars use (I hate those).... but for now I'm keeping it mellow. My Supra would eat those for a snack, but before building the Supra up this would have eaten it.... but this would out handle it both then and now.

All in all I'm very happy with it.

Oh and my wife insists on name the cars... the minute lemon started rolling off her tongue I told he she could call it Squirt but to use THAT word...
