With the MR2 being as old as it is getting a recon power rack will be rare and very expensive, I couldn't find one when I replaced my rack, I got hold of several scrapyard racks and annoying they leaked after x amount of miles, the price of a new one was more than the car was worth so last summer I did the manual rack conversion and it's never handled so well :th: don't have to worry about leaking racks now, I bought a used manual rack from MR-MR2 on ebay, looked new when it came, I would advise to keep away from used power racks your be wasting your money.

You can how ever get rebuild kits from overseas, i was going to do this on mine until i found that the rack it self was so rusted that new seals wouldn't seal properly and the was the main reason why it was leaking in the first place
