Title: My 2004 Black Beauty
Post by: Bernie on September 28, 2015, 15:54
My MR2 adventure started back in August 2009 when I decided to get a 2nd car to help keep the miles down on my funded Company Car.
I wanted something sporty & fun and the MR2 was ideal
 
I found one at a Toyota Main Dealer, it was a 2001 SMT with full UK bodykit & hardtop 35,000 miles in silver and was a great looking car

(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/28/5ef0ec79e844f109e9f978b7bfc9e1c8.jpg)
 
I joined the Club after I had made the purchase and right away started to have nightmares about the potential oil burning monster I'd just bought !
I covered 23,500 miles in just under a year thoroughly enjoying every mile but you've guessed it over the last 5,000 miles it started to drink oil.
 
I knew what the cause was so I took it back to Mr T for a service and mentioned the oil use, they rang me that afternoon to say new short block engine needed £2,500 please.
I reminded them of my Toyota warranty, "we'll ring you back !"
That phone call was "it's a known fault so the warranty doesn't cover "
So after contacting Trading Standards and Toyota Finance, TS advised that the finance co if I didn't get anywhere would step in, they agreed to buy it back less £1,000 for my years use which I snapped their hands off to agree !
 
My 2nd was a privately bought 2003 in black with 37,000 miles on in which I covered 60,000 miles in 2years 9 months, the plan was to get Matt P to refresh the engine with a rebuild at 100,000 miles but that changed

(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/28/ed2c33654688e7bbb5a31cb5f92958e2.jpg)
 
My 3rd MR2 and absolutely the best one by far was crafted by FGRob who spared no expense assembling a well thought out plan of mods to improve all aspects of the car
 
He sold it to S12vea, one of many Steve has owned ! and I was extremely fortunate to buy it from Steve after the birth of his daughter back in March 2013.

Apart from the Fidanza lightweight flywheel it was perfection performance wise and I've tried to add to its appearance as tastefully as possible like to think I've struck the right look
 
And now the reverse applies for use, last year I covered 4,000 miles all in the dry, it does not go out in the wet and is kept garaged
 
I will never sell it and hope to keep it on the road for many years to come !

As its nearly a year since I first posted my Readers Ride thought I'd update particularly as I'd thought there wasn't any more to do !

So firstly managed to obtain a set of JDM Chrome mirrors

Second despite utilising 2 bucket cleaning method was not entirely happy with the light swirling so got a full professional valet and application of GTechniq nano coating

Lastly today had the roof replaced with a red hartz mohair roof

Like to think it can now be regarded as Bernies car being mindful that it was originally FGRobs but as I've owned it now 3 and a half years it's now got my stamp on it !

Roof up, I am not a fan of. For me,  the chrome doesn't work with it as well. Sorry Bernie.  s:-( :-( s:-(  

I'd be interested in seeing with the roof down (when you can) and the seats exposed.  :-) :-) :-)

No worries each to their own Stu, idea was to be different and floats my boat, pik with top down

In the main will be top down and pleased with the colour not an exact match but pretty close

Took some inspiration from a £100K Porsche I parked next to a while back wanted to freshen up the look and quite a few new cars run red roofs on black cars

The mohair roof is a step up from OEM

They are both JDM original optional extras so are real chrome

The windscreen surround was on it already was purchased and installed by FGrob and I was fortunate to purchase the door mirrors a couple of years ago

They are no longer available so rare as hens teeth

Well just when I thought job done nothing left to do I was very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to purchase The Holy Grail TTE bumper

I got Zunsport to make up a grille and nipped over to my body shop to discuss the fog lights and took the opportunity to snap a couple of piks

Unfortunately the lights are orange so I'm now on the hunt for white LED's to run as DRL's and the body shop need to do final checks and deep clean

To say the least I'm a happy chappy

It's going to be a permanent zone from 29th November charged at £9 per day so the organisers won't be continuing with the meet

My V6 is a couple of weeks off 10 years ownership for me but sadly hasnt shrugged off the years like your car has.

Mine certainly didn't.

Gave the 2 a bath ready for Simply Japanese at Beaulieu on Sunday, not bad for 19 years old, I'm afraid it's taken a back seat to the Avantime this year, that's  been to 2 shows in France, 1 in Scotland and a few local ones and since MOT last Aug the 2 has only done 57 miles
Guess the Avi got more love, must try harder or get rid but wouldn't ever get what I would want to tempt me to move it on, no not a sales thread !
