These used to be underrated, but that was years ago. You can't find a clean one for a reasonable price anymore.

[@CanadianGearhead]

I dunno, I still see them pop up from time to time in the FB groups. What Japanese classic would you say is a better value in comparison?

[@Sol-Cutta]

​@@CanadianGearheadI have MK2 rev 1 tbar GTi. Mine has all the original extras like leather document wallet, MR2 maps wallet, MR2 owners manual in leather wallet, service history in leather wallet... Service bag with jack , nuts and bolts , fuse changers etc , the original leather and felt roof panel slips that u slide roof panels in and.strap behind seats, I have a hidden safe under.drivers seat with original key..MR2 members club window decos and logs etc. it's not been started in 8yrs tho and is covered in dust as sits in my garage. It's red and immaculate sheen. Few patches here and there only penny sized. Looks beautiful with roof off.

[@Sol-Cutta]

It's on my facebook

[@Sol-Cutta]

I'm in UK by the way.

[@user-re2sk2un7q]

U can find a clean reasonable price u just need to know ppl and got the plug

[@captainbrianwilkinson7723]

I still say the bang for buck with the MR2 is unbeatable, the number of heads mine turns & questions i get make me smile ear to ear

[@beastlieralpha1745]

I currently live in Japan, I’m about to pick up a 96 MR2 with very little issues. Been wanting this car for forever thank you for talking bout one of my fav JDM

[@CanadianGearhead]

Thanks for watching!

[@Paarthurnax117]

Make sure they take the foam out of the rockers if you don't know what I'm taking about look into it most of them now days have been gotten tho. I did have to remove it from my car

[@AC-wl7ve]

used to see one of these around my neighborhood all the time. the guy had it modded out nicely with some nice wheels and wide tires. always loved seeing that car.

[@Sol-Cutta]

What i love about this car is when u pull up to idle the fans click on and it sounds awesome. Also when you hit 60mph the whole engine sound changes and it sounds like race car. Mine is beauty when was driving. Doubt it would start without work now...i notice you have the original double stereo cd , i had to buy mine seperate as it wasnt in it when i got it. Looks nice even as old as it is doesnt it and that big space without it is yuk..my daughter at 13 used to love standing on seat out roof as we drove in summer night along country roads, dont worry i never went fast..was just a bit of fun for her.

[@Socalmr2turbo]

Have quite a collection of cars now and the SW20 is the car i take when its just me looking to have fun. Always puts a smile on your face.

[@drockholloway]

Pop up head lights...I'm sold. What a gorgeous car.

[@jeffknowles2648]

spot on, grabbed me a jdm 97 3sgte 70kmiles, 6 months ago, your car looks beautiful, cool vid

[@TuanMR2]

Awesome car. I do have one too, with a 2gr swapped, and I think it's time to taking it out for the summer....yeah

[@hectichive889]

I KNOW I DO MAN! Thanks for convincing me even more

[@virumzzgaming]

Got my MR2 GTS (JDM Turbo). 450bhp it is the best car on the planet.

[@nicolascastillo6456]

Fantastic video as usual!!

[@CanadianGearhead]

Thanks for watching!

[@electricbloke]

I had a mk2 T-bar GT, gun metal metallic, and I put Civic Type R alloys on it, I loved that car, the Type R alloys looked way better than you would imagine. 91 pre cat model, no power steering, just a raw driving experience, with an unburstable 2 litre twin cam 👌

[@CanadianGearhead]

The more complicated modern cars get, the more I appreciate a simple driving experience

[@step1idiomas]

Nice content. Would you mind sharing what camera and mic you used in this video? It looks and sounds great.

[@CanadianGearhead]

It's an older Canon M50 with a Rode VideoMicro mic

[@scottg2946]

Def. a sweet ride! Quite a lot like my beloved '07 Vantage seems like!

[@danieltrinh1399]

Beautiful ride m8 !

[@CanadianGearhead]

Thank you!

[@HnKP7M10]

I miss my 94 Turbo. 😢 Had. Greedy Dual exhaust, carbon fiber GTR wing, Greddy body kit.

[@kdsdfishin]

Love the video I hope to see more videos of the mr2 in the future

[@CanadianGearhead]

It'll be in tonight's vid!

[@Mikey_Gee]

Love this car. I have a 91 (with no ABS).

[@danieldavis6536]

Love your Mr2 buddy, looks great. I am curious what wheels you're running as I'm browsing for something different.

[@CanadianGearhead]

Thanks, they're Volk SF Challenges

[@danieldavis6536]

@CanadianGearhead You're welcome buddy, and I appreciate the info. Definitely like seeing the Mr2 videos

[@danieldavis6536]

@CanadianGearhead I forgot to ask, what size wheels and if you knew the front and rear offsets ?

[@Paarthurnax117]

Buy the junk ones and save them I paid 200 for mine off a flat bed on its way to the scap yard put 10k in it and it's a 15k (priceless to me) car all day. Loved the video you got a new subscriber!

[@TestaLagusa_91]

I'm just going to look for a NA with little rust and good dash i want to mod alot on this car engine swap and aftermarket parts for the body and lots more i found a semi clean 1993 hardtop automatic here in Arizona for a good price i think I'm gonna jump on it before it's gone

[@swron_rules]

I'm gonna work my ass off this summer to try and get one but tuition is killin me. Probably could sell one of my other two cars for a bit of cash too. Worst part is people want too much for their mr2 that has a lot of small issues.

[@CanadianGearhead]

That's what I did when I bought this one as a teenager. They were expensive back then too

[@densetsu_vegas]

May I ask, what is your wheels specs? size/offset tire size. seems perfect.

[@gardensofgrief]

Guy at the shop looked like a mix of Ricky, Julian, and Randy

[@CanadianGearhead]

😂

[@imabandon5704]

Pls more vid of the mr2 😊

[@CanadianGearhead]

More to come!

[@c.o.n.collectingofnostalgi889]

Nice paint job boss, is it a particular red

[@CanadianGearhead]

It's the original Crimson red

[@technosworld2]

Rare to see a mid-engined car....C8 Corvette excluded which I see everywhere now, then again I'm in Florida. I love/hate this video since I don't own an MR2 currently, wish I kept one of my previous ones I owned.

[@knowledgeverkerk4167]

I bought a very rusty sw20 for little money and i will swap te car with a project sw20 that chasis is not to far gone.

[@Detailing_And_Rust_Repair]

Hey! What do you mean "after market throttle body"? is it not made for that car, or? :)

[@TurboTravis]

Anytime I see mr2 content I watch right away lol

[@CanadianGearhead]

Heck yeah!

[@brockjennings]

Some SW20 NAs with a automatics are pretty much going for what Turbos did 5 years ago.

[@CanadianGearhead]

It's crazy!

[@Fatandtactical]

Pop up, up and down head lights!!!

[@CanadianGearhead]

Yupppppp

[@MidshipHustle]

What ECU are you using? And how does the car run/function without a IACV. Would love to ditch mine.

[@CanadianGearhead]

AEM version 1 EMS. It's definitely pretty racecarish without the IACV - I'm used to it now but driveability suffers

[@FoxySnapProductions]

Price for mr2

[@MR2Parett]

Got mine 4 months ago. 91

[@gavinkillzemgaming2012]

Not video related but I’m looking into your fox2.0 and I went to the same website but says it doesn’t fit my vehicle

[@gavinkillzemgaming2012]

I’m buying for my 2007 v5 sr5 4WD

[@jayb1812]

I’ve had mine in storage for nearly 11 years I paid £2200 for it I’ve been offered £16500 for it the way it sits 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@kingdavid2018]

Ontario sdub tapping in

[@CanadianGearhead]

Welcome!

[@mrsquirrel8079]

To be honest, I don't think that the value on most of these cars didn't just go up out of appreciation, but rather inflation is readjusting the prices, so it is the same.... Let's say you sold the MR2 for the price of a Supra back then... well, if you take that money to try and buy a supra.. it most likely won't happen because you will still be the same distance away from buying that supra... (unless you find a sucker or you are the suckered buying a lemon)

[@rngwrm]

these were better by every measure (obviously), but i still think the first gens look great, because i am old

[@CanadianGearhead]

1st gens are great cars too

[@OutrideMaro]

DUDE. In canada these cars are so damn expensive. They average around 10 - 20k in quebec.

[@CanadianGearhead]

Yep but that's peanuts compared to $100k for a similar aged Supra

[@cmhidalgo]

Sw20 with ABS? In North America? Did any sw20 come with ABS anywhere? Google says no ABS.

[@CanadianGearhead]

Yes mine has ABS. Don't trust Google - they no longer share helpful info in the search results

[@Jesppyy]

I would but I can't afford it

[@reubenchavez8987]

do that detail vid. maybe u can share some good knowledge

[@mach1john]

< my 1991. 5sfe.

[@CanadianGearhead]

Non-turbos are good cars too, great candidate for a swap

[@2-old-Forthischet]

I once bought a 289 Ford V8 out of a junkyard. Did basic checks, static timed it and it fired on the first crank! It ran for years until I sold the car. Your cars are spoiled. BTW, socks with flip flops is an old fart fail.

[@PER5Y]

Put a F355 kit anywhere near this, and I'll unsubscribe ! 🤣

[@CanadianGearhead]

So far I've avoided it for the first 19 years of ownership, I think we should be good haha

[@sturomain]

thinking of selling mine. Need to think longer, about it. Hoping for at least 25k if I do sell it.

[@sirscrotum]

Done, and done. Cept mine is blue. And my brothers mr2 is white.

[@bowerboy1]

What brand of headlights are you using?

[@CanadianGearhead]

Boslla LED bulbs in Pegasus projectors
