As you can tell from the title of this post I'm just a little bit happy...
I now know first hand what I've only been reading about on this forum for the past couple of months.
I got my MR2 on Wednesday!  I GOT IT!  s:D :D s:D    s:D :D s:D    s:D :D s:D    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  
Here are a couple of pictures.  Not very good but nice ones to follow  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

First impressions:
It s soooo low.  I got the TTE lowering springs and they make the car look even better than I expected!  If anybody is thinking about this mod don't think, get it!  The ride isn't harsh either which was a nice surprise.
TTE Dual Pipes.  I knew they looked good from the pics I've seen, thanks to Scottee for pics of his, but whats even better is the noise they make!  Low frequency goodness and a meaty growl at 'resonable' revs.  Is this the same for the stock exhaust?
The hoods a breeze to raise and lower, a bonus at the moment with the unpredictable weather  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:  
Another surprise was the sound quality of the stereo.  I know its not well regarded on this forum but I honestly found it  quite good.  While not it the same league as a custom built boom box it still kicks out decent sound.
Oh, and it smells lovely... the car not the radio

The only thing, theres always at least one thing, is that the glove box rattles sometmes... very annoying.  OYE!  MR.T!!  FIX IT!!!
I had better get back to work evenn though all I can think about is the 2 sitting outside.  s:( :( s:(  

Paranoia sets in.!!!  s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

mate ... I remember the dya I picked mine up!  Yours looks ace ... 2 words ... mutts-nutts!  

Those dual pipes look the business! I can imagine this silly grin plastered all over your face like I had and still have especially hood down in the middle of a crisp winter day   s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

dual pipe looks awesome I WANT!  Also, the Red leather looks ace ... how I wish I had leather!

Don't know why, but the dual looks particularly good in these pictures.  Must be the angle on the shiny or something.

I want!!

Sure you can live without 500hp, but it\'s languishing.

Cheers for all the nice comments gang.

The pipes do look great, very happy with them.  They should be standard I think.
The spoiler is the European Toyota one.  I had many a sleepless night expecting them to deliver it with the TTE spoiler.  Not that I think that one looks bad its just not the one I ordered, holes in the bodywork etc.

I'm off down to Halfords to buy a Tax Disk Holder now...
... IN MY MR2!!!

Still hasn't sunk in!!

nice one mate, you think you're enjoying the car now, wait til a few more weeks have gone by and you start to get to know how the car handles, you will be in love!!  s:P :P s:P  

the chrome pack really sets it off in the cabin, gives it a touch of class.

I didn't ask for the chrome pack so those things must be standard now, Bonus!
Here are a couple more shots to illustrate how low it is at the back.

the ride height and arch gap in perfect mate. even more tempted to lower my '2 now!

btw, how much are those corner wings on the rear bumper and how do they attatch? cos they look nice! its good to see that with the '2 being 4/5 years old still has more than enough style wise to cut it!   s:D :D s:D
