The Art of Restoring a MR2: A Personal Journey

As I sat in my newly acquired vehicle, the Toyota MR2, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and trepidation. The car had been with me for a while, and it was clear that it needed some TLC to get it running smoothly again. My friend and fellow enthusiast, Charlie, had helped me bleed the brakes, which were leaking heavily due to a faulty caliper. We made sure to bleed all of them thoroughly, as I didn't want any air in the system causing more problems down the road.

With the brakes sorted, we moved on to the next task at hand: getting the coolant temperature sensor working with my laptop's data. The wire was too short, so we had to get creative and rig up a makeshift solution to keep it from overheating. This involved placing the laptop in a protective case and securing it to the car's dashboard using some clever wiring techniques. I must admit, I was impressed by Charlie's ingenuity and problem-solving skills.

As we continued to work on the MR2, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over me. The car had been with me for a while, and I had grown quite attached to it. However, it was clear that some work needed to be done to get it back in shape. We made our way to the local shop, where Charlie's friend, Brent, was kind enough to let us use his space. This allowed me to focus on getting the car sorted without taking up too much space.

The next task at hand was to inspect the exhaust system and make sure it wasn't burning out due to improper installation. We also took a closer look at the hood or trunk, whichever you want to call it, and made sure that the exhaust pipe didn't get in the way of airflow. With the brakes bled and the coolant temperature sensor working, we felt confident that we were making progress.

However, just as things were starting to come together, disaster struck. We attempted to pull the minivan out of Brent's shop, but it was a bit too big for the space we had allocated. I ended up getting stuck behind the minivan, which caused some chaos and confusion. In the end, we managed to get the Odyssey (the minivan) out of the way, but not before I "smoked" it.

Despite the setback, we were determined to get the MR2 back on the road. We worked tirelessly to complete various tasks, including installing a new clutch and starter motor. The car was starting to take shape, and I could see the potential for something truly special. With each passing hour, my excitement grew as I watched the transformation from a neglected vehicle to a reliable daily driver.

My plans for the MR2's future were ambitious: turbocharging the stock K-series engine with a standard turbo kit. I wanted to make around 300-400 horsepower on the stock motor and see how that would affect the overall performance of the car. The goal was to create a reliable and fun driving experience, but also something that would stand out from the crowd.

As I looked at the MR2 now, I could see the potential for greatness. It had been a long journey to get it back on the road, but it was clear that the hard work and dedication were worth it. With each passing day, I couldn't wait to put my newfound creation to the test and see where it would take me.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enoh look out got him got him yeah so we got a bunch of packages in the mail so we're going to open them go and open that open this one oh I didn't cut the shirt it's

grab it this is from my boy Edward but it's not for me that's for Charlie is it you know what it is oh oh it's just a eBay fuel pressure regulator yeah says sup boys heard you needed some better fuel management I had this fuel pressure regulator sitting hopefully it helps if not it if it's not too much to ask for making I get a shout out for my YouTube channel the you put a dick on there and of course the Hayden thanks for subbing to my channel man I greatly appreciate it if you guys need for parts from here in Vegas let a boy know I'm close to two junkyards so anything that helps thanks again and shout out to Hayden youtube.com/ Edward alala yeah the Metro Honda plus Turbo Power this one's from Austin in Arizona Snapchatting me letting me know what it is damn boy help the go out some herb skis is there coins in there oh what the and his pocket change maybe this is uh free monies yeah you can have that you go I need it un broke MR2 funds that's like a whole almost 50 cents right there damn you're balling now boy turb SK little one oh that thing is Tiny it's there will be another one coming later yeah yeah this one he sent cuz he enjoy the turbo has no internal waste gate so we just got to weld the cover over it and it's cracked is it like a Juke one too I don't know what it's off of it's tiny though but free Turbo yeah it'll go on something we'll boost something you guys are great love the channel the builds are hilarious and sick Hayden is cool too I guess question mark all right dick I've been subbed and watching the channel blow up since 30k I'd like to come out and meet the boys sometimes oh wait no it says Hayden hit him up in the DMS oh what kind of gay is that JK Hayden love you hit me up here's some monies oh yeah dude I'm about to put you know one of these swaggy Shades hell yeah one a same these are sick I was not expecting them to send us any sunglasses wait oh there's a note there's a note oh there's a note we missed the note here open that yeah you want me to read it can you sure uh can you even read what's up guys we're huge fans of booster boys over at Boosted Shades and we thought you could use some gear been watching from the start we love your videos we love how your videos are unique and don't just copy the format of other car channels can't wait to see how your projects evolve Devon and JP team boosted Boosted Shades PS we have two builds of our own on YouTube if you had the urge to plug our Channel team boosted we wouldn't stop you keep up the good work guys sick well thank you guys these sunglasses are sick yeah they're awesome definitely wear these and the hat I like the Hat oh so yeah I'm going to drink a spoonful of this you're nut habanero sauce Hornet bom I shook well don't worry dude that's like a big spoon M spicy I haven't had spicy food in a while don't you get like some milk M oh yeah I bet that feels great oh that's spicy these eyes are starting to water not yet just like an instant yeah just smell it yeah I can smell it on your breath does it have like a hot scale on it yeah it's almost all the way it's a third of the way all right so we're at PFI right now going to see if we can get the MR2 home but first I got to bleed the brakes cuz I lost a lot of brake fluid when I was with the calipers so got to rebled all of them because when we went and drove it around the other night it definitely did not stop at all so get these all bled out go from there you're still holding it down right all right hold on put it in the van bye-bye 440 boy all right so we just got the uh hood or trunk Li whatever you want to call it off so the exhaust doesn't burn it we got all the brakes bled they should be good uh the coolant temp sensor is working with the Hond data the wire is really short Mo back to the car so I'm going to have to have the laptop in my lap right here you show this show where I R the wire oh a that's the only way I could get it to reach and it'll sit in my lap in the car so I can make sure it doesn't get too hot it's got oil in it so we're going to try to make it home see what happens he's pulling it he's pulling the minivan gapped it I'll rice or fly by it do it about to rice or fly by him got to find the hazards smoked God damn rers take the jump well them our two made at home and beat the minivan Charlie thinks otherwise but I I smoked the minivan The Odyssey went down let out there's still a lot more things I got to do to it but we'll get into that later at least it's back here so now I can work on it more and not taking up space at Brent shop get the out of here blind him Charlie's going to show some stuff on the GE he's going to show all the wiring he got for it got a whole OBD1 wiring harness for the engine and the dash so it's all back came with fuse the fuse block both fuse PS it's a lot of wires so that'll just hook up straight to my own data without the stuff and I got a I don't know if I use that one cuz the CRV trans has an electronic speed sensor and this has a cable so I might have to switch that out to like a CRV one yeah but basically I have everything to get it running once it's mounted I do have everything just need to get a clutch in a starter and a lot of Fab work and I still don't know anything about the hatch yet I really have not bothered to mess with it need to do like a leak down test make sure all the Pistons are good cuz I think it might have something to do with the compression cuz it had a lot of blow by before it started making that noise so I might have cracked a ringland or have a cracked piston but still need to tear in that some more but happy to have the MR2 back a lot of the things I did on this were kind of ghetto rigged but I was just trying to get it home get it out of Brent shop he didn't mind having it there but I felt bad just keeping it there kind of taking up space since he was just helping me out so much with it I was just trying to get it gone so I'm definitely probably going to work on this the next few days I want to get it running and driving reliably fix a lot of the ghetto stuff I did and just start cleaning it up getting it ready for the turbo build I'm thinking for now I might just turbo the stock K series the stock K24 in there and try to make like 3 to 400 horsepower on the stock motor and then I'll have a good idea of how the turbo setup's going to go but for now just want to clean it up make it a good little daily driver or just a reliable car if I need to take it anywhere and yeah that's pretty much it it made it here just fine it was cruising it like 185° on the coolant temp it didn't get hot at all all we did was just put water in there and we just filled it through this little hose on the intake I'm sure there's a lot of air bubbles in there but it did not get hot at all so more work to be done on this thing and that's going to be it for tonight though so we'll see you soonoh look out got him got him yeah so we got a
