Cleaned the Tubby

krozor · 10 Nov 2009 at 20:55

Hi all

After recovering from a broken wrist (2 months in cast) I can now finally clean/drive my Rev 3 MR2 Turbo.....so out came the bucket and sponge on sunday and I gave it a damn good wash/wax/polish. When I first got the car I was'nt too sure on the colour (dark pearl green) but over the last few months it has really grown on me, what do you guys think of the colour?, it makes a nice change from the usual black/red.

reminds me of when i was like 8 and had midtown madness 2. anyways back on track yeah nice car. nothing wrong with the colour, quite nice. but would prefer black

I think I like the colour but without trying to sound rude some better photographs would really help. First impression was that it was black but after I read the post I could see the green heh!

Looks awesome, you lose points for calling it a tubby though

Looks great mate. Is the offset of the rear wheels right ?

I have no idea why this term is used by anyone. Just sounds so ridiculous and spasticated.

That and the word "trick".

say no more....the word Tubby will not be used again.....or at least on here

That looks great.

I've been waiting for a dry (and free) weekend to prep my car for winter...got a full machine polish and wax on the cards. Just need some nicer weather or a big enough garage to do it in!

Amazing how these things STILL manage to look pretty decent, what are they, like 20 years old now!

Like it, great cars.

Thats a Rev 4 right? Looks nice! Get some spacers on the rear though. Those rears seem to sit in more that the fronts which wont do any favours to the handling. I had a dark pearl green Rev 3 and i loved if before it got wrote off

Your MR2 looks lovely by the way

I like it, very 90's colour, used to like the scoobys that came in a similar one. I think BMW also did a nice dark green too. (Boston green?!)

Couldn't agree more - I often look at mine now that it's been de-tango'd and think how nice it looks. Especially with my personalised plate, people (who don't know much about cars) often are very shocked when I tell them it's a 1995.

Looks nice, as said though, rear fitment needs sorting out, spacers will do but some nice dishy wheels would be even better

Looks very nice, and makes a nice change from the typical colours. As said above - the rear wheel fitment is a bit :/.
