Help with Square Metal Shift Linkage Bushing or "Sugar Cube"

Need some guidance on replacing this without removing the starter.

I can feel two bolts I need to undo (above the area circled green) to free the bracket and allow the cube to be removed. Supposedly a spanner can be slipped underneath the starter and these bolts loosened just enough to get the bushing out. (Bushing is above the area circled red)

However as far as I can tell this is absolutely NOT possible, maybe its because this is a 3rd gen 3sgte but theres i can't see a way to do it. Just wondering if there's another way to achieve this.

MR2 Chop Shop problems?

I just purchased a fuel pump hanger from MR2 Chop Shop… I placed the order on June 30th and I haven’t even gotten a notification that a shipping label has been made… I am aware that one person manages this website and maybe he’s catching up from the holiday… but, has anyone used this service before and what was their experience.

Hi there! Proud new owner of a 90’ NA here!

Just had the car on a lift for the first time to check it out. Looks really really solid for what it’s worth. One thing i noticed however is that the ?fuel? line in the back of the engine bay is verryy rusty (pic attached). Can they be purchased somewhere here in europe or can i bend them myself? They look pretty much like a little thicker brake lines. Second thing is the bushings are shot. I really like the energy suspension bushings on my Mx5 but it’s hard to find them over here in europe. Anyone know a shop where i can buy them? Thanks for the help!

Aftermarket exhausts

Hi all, my current stock exhaust is rather rotten, and im looking for suggestions and experiences with some aftermarket exhaust,

I know Mongoose, Fujitsubo Legalis, and Sky tuning

(Also japspeed but I've decided against that one)

Of the three I cant seem to get a Sky tuning anymore sadly, and the Fujitsubo seems the most easily obtained these days, but what would be the best exhaust for a bit of a louder rougher sound? Compared to stock

Are these cars worth the hype?

Considering trading my little pickup for this project but want to know if you guys think it’d be worth the time/if you think it’s a lemon. 150k on it the ad says, engine mileage unknown.

How bad is it? 1994 JDM MR2 GTS

Bonjour l'équipe MR2, j'ai récemment acheté une MR2 GTS hardtop JDM de 1994 équipée du fameux moteur 3S-GTE de troisième génération, mais elle n'a pas roulé depuis 6 ans.

J'ai essayé de faire tourner le moteur à la main en actionnant la poulie de vilebrequin, mais il est complètement bloqué.

Lorsque j'ai vidangé l'huile, la première partie était très visqueuse, et par endroits, gélatineuse et légèrement blanchâtre. Ensuite, l'huile noire qui est sortie était extrêmement liquide.

J'ai donc décidé de démonter le carter d'huile (il est en deux parties, et la partie supérieure en aluminium est très fragile).

Voici ce que j'ai trouvé à l'intérieur ( look pictures ). Pensez-vous que ce moteur soit récupérable ou est-il bon pour la casse ? Pour information, j'habite en France, donc les pièces détachées pour ces modèles sont assez rares ici, et je ne trouve personne qui vende une Gen 3 dans ma région.

Vos conseils seraient les bienvenus !

I was hauling more trees than a Tacoma at the nursery today

A whole two trees. I assume that's what the two in MR2 stands for.

Japspeed for sunday driving?

So i bought AN '91 MR2 NA, 3S-GE, as a second car, which is going to be used for sunday drives, carmeets and such.

I don't like how boring the stock exhaust sounds, so i'm looking for another which can give som smile on my face.

I've read that the Japspeed exhaust is too loud for daily driving, but how is it for a sunday driver?

Max speed, on the roads, in my country is 50 mph, so i will rarely be driving faster than that.

Will the Japspeed still be too loud in my case?

Where can I get a reasonably priced convertible top

I’m in need of a new top on my mr2 spyder. What are some places I can get a decent top for a reasonable price (not 1000 dollars). If anyone has one for sale too I’d love to buy it. I’m sure I can get a great top if I drop a band but I just need it to last a bit

[JDM SW20] Do you have a VIN in your windshield?

I have a 1998 G-Limited (in Canada). Looking to potentially purchase an extra windshield (probably Pilkington or Fuyao, I don't know any others) in case I get more rock-chips in the future. My current windshield is a Fuyao and it is black all the way around; there's no numbers or letters anywhere except for around the Fuyao logo.

If you own a JDM RHD SW20, could you check for me if there is anywhere on your windshield for a VIN code or anything like that? It'd also be great to know what year your SW20 is. Thanks.

Custom Headlights

Finally finished a little project I was working on and felt like I needed to show it off. Made some LED headlights for the frog with some Hela projectors and some off the shelf LED rings. Will maybe make a more detailed post about the process over the weekend but here’s some pics!

No start, need help please.

I originally had a no crank issue so I bridged the negative terminal to the shifter bracket with a jumper cable and now I have a no start issue. I bridged the FP-B+ for the fuel pump, heard no prime. I then sprayed starting fluid in the intake and I smelled the starting fluid come out so I don’t know what it could be.
