Looking to trade my 1988 Toyota MR2 Supercharged. Running and driving and all things work. I have too many projects plus my wife needs a 4 door. Willing to trade for LS400, Q45, 96 up 4runner (V6 only) and the likes.

Pros:
* Clean title in hand
* Currently registered
* Recently smogged so new owner doesn't need to smog it.
* 154,xxx
* 14x7 Panasports
* Black leather interior
* Brand new battery
* HKS intake
* Momo steering wheel

Cons:
* It is starting to overheat. It only overheats on freeway speeds on steep grades. You can drive it all day long on the side street and does not overheat. No mixing of oil and coolant. I think there is a head gasket leak between the cylinder and coolant jackets and letting air into the cooling system. I already have the Felpro head gasket kit that will go with the car.
* Paint needs a buff or maybe a repaint.
* Dent on front bumper as a lady backed up on to it.
* A few rips on the leather seats.
* It has the usual T-tops leaking but barely.

Overall the car is decent shape for its age. This should be a good runner after a head gasket is installed. I really do not have time to finish this project as I have waaaaay to many projects. Gets great gas mileage specially when gas looks like it's going to hit over $5 by this summer. AC works

Ha! Got rid of my 03 SV1000s and 07 GSR1000 before I got married. I do miss riding though. My wife would chop off my balls and serve them to me on a silver plate if I got another one lol. Seriously though, my wife needs a 4 door car or SUV. Thanks for the offer though. Just out of curiousity, what kind of bike is it? :D

Thanks. I wish I had more time to work on this thing but my 240Z and my S14 gets priority right now.

Thanks for the offer but I also don't have time to work on it. Plus I needed the next gen 4runner as it will see light duty towing. If I was single still I would be all over this lol. Plus my wife is short, she would need a ladder to climb up & down that thing lol.

No worries, clean cressy. Mines running if you change your mind.

Thanks and definitely will.

Let me know what anybody else has for trade. Like I said willing to also put money on top if your is worth more but please don't try to trade me a 30k car :rolleyes:

Just an update:

Finally went to my SMOG tech friend and put the sensor on the coolant spout to read if there are any HC present in the cooling system. There was, the lowest output was 15ppm and as high as 50ppm. This tells me that there is a very slight leak in the HG between the cylinder and the coolant holes. That is why it doesn't overheat until freeway speeds and with an incline. A big leak would be around 300ppm and above.

Mods - please close this thread if this is considered an over bump.

Kinda true. This will hopefully be my last 240Z (7th S30) and will build it slowly. I like it also but too many cars and wife says "it's gotta go" lol.

My favorite is 2nd to 3rd in the canyons. It's like riding on rails! Thanks!


I appreciate all the interests and offers. Car is sold. Mods please lock this up.
