Brakes vibrate when braking, need to replace the discs I think.
A little vibration through the steering wheel, although I think I have an off centre tyre causing grief, balancing the wheels has no effect, will replace front tyres and discs when funds allow.
(Mine is a MK1 T-Bar 1.6)
Other than the minor points above the car is absolutely superb to drive, Amazing acceleration once above 5000 RPM (T-VIS System), you put your foot down and have a short wait just to prepare yourself for the dogs of war to be released - it really is quick for a 1.6!!, leaves the majority of other cars in its dust.
Amazing comfort considering it's a genuine true sports car, get a T-Bar model with leather seats.
T-Bar roof is wonderful on sunny days and it's really easy to take the panels out and store them behind the seats.
Electric everything and a really nice driving position, I simply can't praise the car enough - wonderful AND it's cheap to insure.
Just avoid Toyota main dealers, I do all my own servicing and repairs, but genuine parts cost the earth (3 10mm nuts for the exhaust cost £4.78, they were a slightly different thread to normal nuts as well so I had to buy genuine). Toyota dealers have no idea about this car, don't trust their mechanics either - they're useless!
Check for rust in the rear arches and above the windscreen and inside the B pillar, these are known rust areas - avoid a car with excessive rust in these areas.
Get a Dark Mica blue T-Bar car and avoid white ones if you can - they don't sell on well at all.
I am looking at buying a 85 MR2 with rusty sills, please can someone tell me can you buy new sills, or is it a repair job?
Regards
