New 91 NA

[Ast0reth]

I've been in love with this car since before I even saw it. I'm sure you guys understand.
It's a '91 MR2 NA 5SFE that needs some love. I overpaid 3 grand for it (knowingly,) and don't have much money left for anything but making sure the car runs. Performance can come later.

The main thing is the stereo, I don't have premium sound and no one at my local audio places know anything about this connector, they say I'll have to rewire the entire car speaker-by-speaker. If anyone knows anything that can help me to this cheaper I will definately appreciate it- All my cash is currently tied up getting the windows working and fixing some suspension thing.

Well dammit- I just got off the phone with my voicemail and aparently my fiance has heard from whatever car shop she took it to. I took it there before I left town just cause I'd like some working power windows by the time I got back in town- makes sense for not doing it myself, right? Well they got the windows up- not working.

So on that note does anyone know a quick and inexpensive way for me to get the power windows working? The motors are fine, but the contacts and wire are going out. If anyones dealt with something like this before I'd appreciate any info.
Thanks

There are occasionally window switches and whatnot on ebay. I would always run into them when I was lookin' for a window motor.

As far as the stereo, I don't really know. I bought a head unit from my friend a few years ago, took it to Best Buy, and they said they couldn't hook it up because it has a factory amp. I don't know if that's true, doubt it really, I think the dude just didn't know what he was talking about. My cousin works at Ultimate Electronics and said that he's heard of them installing a new stereo in a deuce, so I'm gonna go there when I get un-broke.

If you feel like driving to New York I can source, buy, and install you a nice system for cheap

But seriously though, what you've been told is a lie.
The only trouble in installing a new deck is figuring out what factory wires goto what wires on the deck.
Usually It's as simple as looking in your owners manual, online, or in a Haynes manual (free to read at your local library and like 10c to make photocopies).

Even in unusual cases (Ive never done an install on an MR2 so idk if they are an unusual case) it's just a matter of figuring out what factory wires serve what purpose, matching them to the wires on the deck you bought, soldering them up (if you dont have a soldering iron you can buy one of them cold-touch dealies for like $20 which work perfectly and are great for beginners since you cant burn yourself) and mounting the new deck.

Mounting might be a slight problem if it's an unusual case, but usually you can either use the plate provided with the deck you bought, or buy one on EBay for like $5 that you can modify with a dremel and use.

And like Andy said, your other problem can be solved with some time spent on EBay.
All those kind of bits can be had if you just do a search every couple of days.
Even the oddest of parts will pop up eventually.

I hope this helps,when I had problems finding the wiring diagram for my 91 N/A someone from TN told me to go to www.installdr.com. Click on the Celica year 90 to 93,the wiring is the same as our MR2's.good luck.

Actually now that I look at that installdr.com I see that the harness they sold me matches that fine, but it doesn't fit anything in my car! I don't know what the hell is going on or if the guy who had it before me butchered the wiring and the installed a stock casette player before selling it to me.

I bought an aftermarket CD player for my '91 and the guys didn't have any problem installing it. I have the 7 speaker(I guess thats the premium one) set up with the OEM amp.I don't see why a car audio shop couldn't do the same for you. ???
