Used Car of the Day: Toyota MR2
This Toyota MR2 93T will be on Bring a Trailer soon, says the owner. So if you're interested, you might want to hop on it soon.
This car is supposedly unmodified, though a laundry list of parts have been replaced over the years, and it just underwent an engine-out refresh.
The A/C has been converted to R134a.
Although the car is said to be unmodified, some of the replacement parts do appear to be aftermarket upgrades over the OEM. It strikes me that the seller is saying he or she hasn't done any major mods, but some of the parts have been replaced with simple upgrades.
This T-top car has ABS, power steering windows/locks/mirrors, and is in California.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- ToolGuy North America is already the greatest country on the planet, and I have learned to be careful about what I wish for in terms of making changes. I mean, if Greenland wants to buy JDM vehicles, isn't that for the Danes to decide?
- ToolGuy Once again my home did not catch on fire and my fire extinguisher(s) stayed in the closet, unused. I guess I threw my money away on fire extinguishers.(And by fire extinguishers I mean nuclear missiles.)

I prefer the first gen but this is a win.
I had a 1st gen so yeah. Probably the best “slow car fast” on the planet. It was a manual so it would walk away from an auto IROC (305) especially on the curves.
