1st day of working on the MR2; Hilarity ensues. (image heavy, 56k users if you still exist, warning)
This is Masa D. Luffy's 1986 Toyota AW11 MR2.
So yeah. Neat shit. Not the best looking car, but it works.

YAY! Shitty interior!!
ROFL door has NO interior piece!
Cluster. (notice no speedometer needle)
Passenger side
Passenger side window. I need a piece of wood and a rag to keep the window from rolling down on its own. LOL I'm just going to replace the doors entirely, fuck it. That or just engine swap this good motor into a good shell.

quarterpanel damage bawwww
Like a shark's gills. :D
AHHHH! Rust! Shitty chipping paint! :< I think I'll flat red-on-black the car. Keep the two tone scheme. :D
filthy engine bay is filthy...some degreaser and a water hose. Nothin' fancy.
Close up of the filthy ass valve cover.
Old air filter on the left. New one on the right. Though, its kinda obvious lol
Old filter.
New filter.

Air filter: 8 bux
New battery: 88 bux, -10 dollars if I take the old battery back
Spark plugs: 8~ bucks for a set of 4
Car's purchased value: 490
Subtotal: 594 (584 once I take the battery back tomorrow)
Gas money spent: 20 bucks
Total so far: 614 (604 after battery)
Video! :D
So yeah. New battery, spark plugs (broke one, tightened it too much, broke the ceramic :< bawww), new air filter. Tomorrow or sometime soon, will go in the oil, oil filter and fuel filter.
IKUZE!
Bull Canyon run was fun. The front tires would slip under solid cornering forces so I really pronounced a slow in - medium speed out. I really need new tires.
Brakes are shit, the wheel vibrates bad under braking. Will settle for napa parts, cheap but effective for now.
More will come later. :> MR2 project wooooo~!
Goal: Running OEM stock decent performance. Healthy is the goal here.
