I don't think I'm alone with this...who has solved this problem with the door panel?

I've tried several glues to get the panel to attach. Nothing really does the trick and some leave visible glue. Who has some suggestions for me? Strip it all off and start over with a new covering? Thanks in advance

For my fellow weebs 🇯🇵

Stumbled upon this hidden gem of a manga a few years ago. Thinking it would be easy to find or import to the US, made the mistake of buying only the volumes with MR2 cover art. Just came back from another trip but this time acquired the entire set.

Translated chapters can be found on mangadex.org

Budget/Cost for a SW20

I see a lot of people ask about if they should buy a mr2 on here with many saying that it's not worth it or they need more money or any other reason. So I wanted to see what YOU guys feel is the budget for a sw20 can be NA or turbo how much should someone buy the car for and how much should they have ready on the side. Thank you for all responses!!

Would it be a dumb idea to wrap an AW11 in a OEM color instead of waiting for one with my preferred color to pop up on the market?

Been looking for any blue AW11 in my area for sale, but most of them are either white, red, or sometimes silver. From what I know, blues don't really hold up in the sun well over time, so even if i found one in my preferred color of Dark Blue Pearl, it'd likely need some work done to make it look the best.

Then again, ive never wrapped a car/had a shop wrap one, so i have no idea about the intricacies of the process and if it might damage the original paint underneath. Any tips/advice is greatly appreciated!

AW11 1987 MR2

Looking at a 1987 Toyota MR2. Guy is selling it for $5,000 USD. Only issues that it has are some surface rust and then interior head unit, speakers need to be re-done and potentially a new exhaust. Brand new clutch and fluid flush and no leaks. Says it runs great but I’d need to see it in person to be sure.

I’ve been wanting one of these as a project and I’m not sure if anyone has any advice. I’ve done body and paintwork on older cars before so I don’t think that would be too big of an issue.

Questions

I was wondering if anyone here put a red top beams in an USDM ST204 I picked it up the other day and was wondering what you did for the harness I have the engine trans ECU but I’m positive it’s not plug and play any advise on how I should go about the swap mechanically should be pretty straight forward since I can reuse my accessories in three out of 4 engine mounts but the wiring is gonna be my biggest problem

Is this old stereo worth anything yet?

Got this sat in a box of bits.

Is it worth anything or not really?

I have a few random bits that i should really get rid of and this is the only part that is maybe worth anything.

Need advice from the experts

Hey everyone. I am in the process of importing a JDM SW20 turbo. The dealer who imported it is doing some maintenance work to it, getting it ready for sale. He sent me these pics of the engine bay. Other than a little light rust in a couple spots, I don't see anything that seems obviously concerning. I was wondering if anyone who is more knowledgeable about these cars could look at these pictures and see if there are any glaring issues that I should address before buying this car? I put a deposit on it while it was still on the boat, and I haven't seen the car in person yet. I put down the deposit based on the auction sheet, which graded it at 3.5 with a C interior. If anyone has any advice or sees any obvious problems in these pics, I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Also, where is the foam that people tends to absorb moisture and people remove it? Is there an easy way to check that area while I'm at the dealer? Thanks! I can't wait to join the club!

Should I pull the trigger and buy it? 1999 Toyota MR-S S edition.

Got a quote for 2,050,000 yen or 12.8k dollars. Car is a 1999 Toyota MR-S S edition. Has very low mileage at 48,190 km. 5 speed manual transmission. Got to drive it around a bit and it drives smooth. The only thing holding me back is the lack of space.

I should mention I'm new to driving stick so I plan to learn in this car and it's also my first ever sports car. Before this I've only owned a Camry and a freed.

Should I do it??

Stalling after rain?

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has seen similar issues. I've had a few problems now and have seen a pattern only after it rains. The car will start fine and will sit idling okay but when then moving off, clutch in and throttle, it will sometimes start to stutter. If it doesn't stall here, it will drive okay but then I live at the bottom of the hill with a stop at the top. It will make it to the top but when you break to come to a stop it'll stutter and completely cut out. Sometimes it will restart immediately, other times I've had to roll it home and wait a while.

As I say, it only seems to happen after its rained, don't see this issue at any other time.

Finally figured out a cupholder, phone holder, head unit solution

I had a double din head unit before. It always bothered me not having somewhere to put my phone. It's rare I have a drink in the car but occasionally I find I want one.

This is a single din head unit on top and a 3D printed part I designed that holds a nice cupholder and a MagSafe phone charger. All using the OEM bracket.

Reddit won't let me post a video so I can't show the cupholder in action but it's buttery smooth.
