Man... I want to tell you that you should I love these and this is a great color, great power, seems like pretty nice mods... But my honest opinion is run. You're a very busy dude with a business, family, rental property, etc. It seems like reliability concerns were one of the main reasons you dumped your C6 which was stock, 15 years newer, and generally a pretty solid platform.Tarspin wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 12:07 pmYeah, all good points. See if there's more input from the group, but it's a double threat... Age and mods.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 12:02 pm
At least a stock example you know what needs to be done to fix something. Aftermarket parts and how they're installed can create a myriad of mysterious issues that are really hard to diagnose. I've never had good luck with previously modified vehicles and just generally steer clear of them. And yes, I'd assume that it would be a constant project to keep going.
I know nothing about these things other than liking them. Someone else might know more, and maybe all these mods are good upgrades and it's a solid ZFG performer.
the only way I can see a Gen 2 MR2 being relatively 'trouble free' would be a mostly stock, sub 100K mile, NA version.
I would consider calling the owner and having a conversation, you can learn a lot by just seeing what the person is like... but my gut tells me this is a car that requires constant tinkering. Not that that makes it a bad car by any means, but you don't strike me as someone who has six hours every weekend to fuck with wrenching.
