I mean, it’s obviously the woman who should go in the trunk, unless she’s down to give...

Are we playing the opposite game here? Yesterday was an ultra-reliable 2WD Toyota Truck that will never let you down unless you drive it off road and today is a 4WD Range Rover that will always let you down, probably off road, where it will rust out it’s remaining years while you walk home.

Nice scam you pulled on your grandmother. How much did your buddy kick you back on that? :p

That has been my original plan. It would be very simple and ideally suited as the construction of the T-Top roof provides a 1/4" standoff from the skin in a perfect border around all four sides of the area to be covered. It would be very easy to glue it in around that border and have the finished product look…

That’s a good thought, as well. The total surface area I’d be covering is roughly 2 square feet as it’s a 2-door T-top and I want to leave the painted structural components “bare”. I wish I could post a picture of what I want to do. It’s basically just the area above the driver/passenger’s heads as the T-tops cover…

Yeah, they’ve been equipping them with oil pan gaskets and properly sealing valve cover gaskets for about two decades now. They didn’t used to come with an oil pan gasket at all and the corners of the valve covers leaked for decades. Meanwhile, they would very easily rack up 300k miles without fault during a time when…

Exactly. I spent probably a month of my life and several hundred dollars making the 1994 Celica Turbo drip-free. I don’t think I’ll bother with the 1990 MR2 Turbo (same engine) as it only seems to drip enough to keep the engine block coated in rust-preventative and doesn’t leave any on my parking spaces, so fuck it.

Any downsides that you’ve heard of or can think of? If it’s not going to promote rust I may be spending my weekend doing just this. Part of it is, the car in question has T-Tops and I actually like the look of the body painted structural bits up there (I’m a building designer so exposed trusses is something I’m very…

Having owned more than a few old Toyotas, leaking oil is the default setting. 

The fact that Yamaha was involved in the head design doesn’t sway your opinion in any way?

I read “Spray on headliner” and perk’d up. I know Toyotas a little older than this have terrible headliners and I have one in need of a headliner right now that I can not seem to locate.

It is completely impossible for me to be objective about vintage Toyotas. I would like to own one of each. So I won’t vote but I can tell you that my very first car had that 22R Engine with the mated 5spd and it did everything correct in both blistering Texas heat and frigid NYC winters for over 300k miles. It…

There is so much butthurt jealousy in this comment section. It is truly pathetic.

Gross

That would make California the ass, not Texas. Appropriate considering there is shit everywhere.

I’ve got a good friend who owns 5 MR2's. (1) V6 swapped MKII, (2) MKII Turbo, (1) 2ZZ-GE swapped MKIII and, my favorite, (1) 4th generation 3S-GTE swapped MKIII. If N/A is your kink, however, the 2ZZ-GE swapped MKIII is probably the best MR2.

I daily drive a 1990 MR2 Turbo with T-Tops. The MKII was the only MR2 that didn’t get it’s own unique bird badge so many MKII owners have adopted the more modern looking MKIII design.

I was 6' at 11yo, as well. Growing pains in your shins are the worst way to not sleep.

That’s a strange kink you have.

I’m with David on this one, looks great to my eye. I would never even consider owning one.
