Hey Guys, Just thought I would try and Get a Thread Going where people could Introduce themselves and Their Dream Machines!! That Way when we Meet on Sunday or at a monthly Meet we'll have Broken the Ice and The Slagging can Begin!!!!
So.... I'm Claire, 29yrs old living on the Northside and have a Blue '94 that I inported from the Uk 2yrs ago!! She Pretty Special, Came with Full Service History Tracing all the way back to Japan! She's Pretty Standard, Just sitting on 17's with an Induction Kit which gives it a Good Rasp! I'm not sure what to Do to her Next but I'll do something Tasteful.
Don't Be shy........
Who's Next???? _KUNENA_BBCODE_HIDEIMG

No worries Claire, I think there's still a few lurkers on here that didn't put themselves forward in the first round.
Your 2 looks stunning by the way

Haha my last mr2 was t-bar, leaked a lot, A LOT!.. Only got the top off probably 3 times so when i was looking for my turbo it had to be black and hardtop  The tbar was handy for transporting side skirts though

Is it steel, painted steel, stainless steel, or chrome? there's a different knack for each of them

On my last two, it was an ongoing battle. So, in the end I decided to get new seals. I can't remember the prices but I ordered from Toyota in Dallas and got them more than a hundred qiud cheaper than here !!!

If it has chrome tips then a good scrub with car wash and then a shot of window cleaner will do the trick. If they are just steel, you can repaint them with a gloss silver, but the heat will make it fade. Powdercoating gives a longer lasting finish.

Ah will definitely put in an appearance alright hehe!
Its a bit faded, but have been working on it since the start of the summer, its nearly there.
I wanted cosmos blue or black, but its just so hard to get exactly what u want, so had to compromise on red  I love teh colour of yours, i have never seen that colour before.
I used Brillo pads on my exhaust to get them shiney again
