Man that’s the shiniest 3S-GTE I have ever seen in my life. I’m taking mine out for a blast today after seeing this video. 30 years old and still going.
Mike your videos are the best tutorials for MR2 owners on TH-cam, please continue to make more of them. I’m just wondering if you are going to be posting the final “how to paint” video of the Chicago MR2 at some point in the future as part one and two were a really helpful to me. Love the channel
Hey thanks Chris! As for the 3rd painting video....one will be coming out. I'm not sure when.. It will be on the Pittsburgh MR2. I lost the SD card that had all the 3rd painting video content of the Chicago MR2 on it. :(
Mikes Garage oh no, I remember you mentioned something about that on another video and had my fingers crossed that you found it. Well either way it sounds like we’ve all got some awesome vids to look forward to. I will definitely be staying tuned in bud. Stay safe Mike and all the best.
Thanks Mike. You have inspired me to follow your lead. I had a ‘91 MR2 that I bought new and drove until ‘99. I have regretted selling it ever since, though I did replace it with a three year old ‘96 993. I later had a 2001 NSX-T that I rarely drove. Currently have an ‘02 Z06 that is also rarely driven. This project for a daily driver. Eventually. I recently found a solid but high mile car in California that I have to pickup in a couple of weeks. Wasn’t sure yet what engine I was going to put in it. Have thought about a 2GR V6, but I’m not convinced those are reliable enough. Love the work you’ve done with the 3G motors. Would really have loved to have bought one of your cars. But as these videos are a few years old, I’m not sure what you’re doing these days. In any case, I’m going to the turbo 2 liter instead of the V6. Thanks for your work.
Me and my step-dad are probably getting an 86 mr2 in a few days and the engine is completely out of it, i'll probably come back to this video a bunch to try and get a good idea of how to put things back together
Excellent attention to details as always, I appreciate your time dedication to post these instructional videos bringing beat classic MR2s back from the dead to road worthy gems. What’s the plans on the 91 red faded mr2 in background? 2GR swap perhaps?
Awesome video mate, this will help with my build alot 😊✌
Thank you man!!!

Hey...thanks man. I guess I'm getting more meticulous as I get older LOL
I liked the way the warning plate on the heat shield contrasts the rest of it. Kicking myself for not seeing your video sooner.

@@chrisrushton3291 hey thanks Chris! I'm glad you like the videos. You stay safe as well!
you do a great job refurbishing old parts.
Also if you need a left hand im local in Canton. I only know Celicas though, but 3sgte looks the same.
Thank you bro!
@@ABeans07 Do you have a 3sgte Celica All-Trac? Those are cool cars!
@@gehringer37 I do. I picked one up in December as a non runner. Got it running now and slowly fixing up.

I have not done a v6 swap yet on the MR2....Please let me know how it goes. It is a great engine swap for this car!!
Mike....your videos are awesome! Please make more!!!
Thank you bro!!!
Wow! This is bassicly a brand new car 😍 Love this build!!
Thank you bro!!!
Lovely job, looks absolutely beautiful. 👍
Thank you man!
Hi Mike, I love the way you installed the bald eagle into this MR2. I wish I would have thought of that.
LOL....I guess i did....hahah
Beleve it or not....that was not intesional. lol
Amazing job ! Massive help on my first engine swap it's almost ready to drop in
Thanks man....glad the video helped!
Great video as always , Love from the UK
Thank you man!
Great video

an 86 is much different from a 91. But i also have a 1st gen (an 89) so just message me if you have any questions.
@@gehringer37 thank you so much :)
The hot pipe looks great also.
Thank you man!!!
When I come to mikes garage I expect the bird, but it’s usually attached to your hand.
That's for sure!
Well done sir! 👏👏
Thanks bro!

Hey thanks Oscar... Plans for the Pittsburgh MR2... I'm not sure yet... A v6 swap sounds cooll tho.
Great car! Always love when you add new videos. What engine management and fuel system do you use to run that high of boost?
Hey thanks man! I'm only running 17 PSI so no need for an aftermarket management. Fuel cut is around 18 PSI on the 3sgte stock ECU.
@@gehringer37 fffffffffy
GREAT VIDEO!
Would you be interested in painting a MR2 aw11 while your unemployed. I have owned this car since new ?
I wish I could honestly... But every time I go to paint a car I'm sure my neighbors want to kill me! Lol
No problem...I'll let you live 🙂👍
How much do you charge to do that kind of work. My car needs it.
I wish I could help you out brother...But I have so many projects going on right now...I just don't have the time.
The one person that gave this video a thumbs down must be Mike's disgruntled ex-girlfriend! Lol awesome video Mike! The engine looks amazing!
Ebay downpipe... trash. Won't be too long till it cracks. Ask me how I know. Just get a Berk DP.
I know all about the quality of the eBay downpipe. I have Berk dp's on my other cars. I did put extra bracing on the eBay pipe.
