Hey folks, just thought I'd say hi. I got my first mr2 about 2 weeks ago and am lovin it. Needs a little bit of a tidy but its pretty clean. Been reading alot on the forums and you all have been really helpful. Nice to know there's somewhere to look for parts and info thats local too

Welcome aboard JR! Stick up a profile pic, some photos of your car etc. Dont be afraid to ask any questions no matter how silly they may seem. We all learn from each other and the more you ask, the more you learn. I have learned tons and still do every time I speak to another member either on the forum or at meets. What part of the country are you in? There are regular meets in Dublin and we try to get other meets / trips in around the country where/when possible. Plus there are owners/members all over the country that you could organise your own local mini meets with. Everyone is very helpful and willing to provide help at all times. We all share the same passion or obsession is some cases.

Cheers Swagger, much appreciated. I'll stick up some pics later today. I'm from Kilkenny but I might make it up sometime to a meet. Be nice to see a few more 2's up close and learn a bit more about them. I've plenty of stupid questions to ask so i'll probably be here a fair bit tormenting everyone

Cool, well you are more than welcome. Torment away. You can also send PM's (private messages) to members if you dont want to publically discuss something. Just click on the members avatar (profile pic) and under that should be a button that says PM.

You can also go up to inbox and over to compose. You can manually type in the users name or click "show users" in yellow and select the person/s you wish to PM.

Let us know if you are having any problems, MR2's are unusual, ie, very different from most other cars, so even changing bulbs can leave a new owner totally stumped!

Looking forward to the pics!

Ah I'm Sorry I think you may be Colour Blind!!!

"ScienceDaily (Apr. 28, 2000) — For 8 percent of men, colour blindness is not just a fashion inconvenience, but an impairment that makes reading maps and other visual data difficult if not impossible. Now, a Penn State geographer has developed colour schemes that allow most color-blind people to interpret the images."
"The most common type of colour blindness is red/green, which has two forms. Some people are missing red receptor cones and others are missing green receptor cones. People with different forms of red/green colour blindness have slight differences in the way they perceive colour."

Maybe you should check your Ownership for the Part where it says "Colour: Blue" Junior, its okay, people Make mistakes all the time on this Site, I'll forgive you!

That Colour needs to be Re sprayed BLUE!!!!!!!!!!

You should have taken your own advice before buying your washed out faded zirccie

I quite like the aqua colour ... looking forward to seeing it in the flesh

Yeah a respray would be nice, aquamarine... or teal... or green, whatever you want to call it but its definitely not blue

Your car look fine as it is, doesnt look like it needs a respray, its defo aquamarine.

def keep it Aqua ... nice colour and not that common as most people seem to buy red, black and white in the early 90's

Ah definitely wont be respraying. Body is actually very clean for a 17 year old car. Interior needs a little tidying but I'll take my time and do it right
