I am back in the turbo game.
Vehicle: 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo -Sunroof model
Purchased mileage: 160,603
Modifications at purchase and installed (not all correctly installed):
VIS carbon fiber hood
TRD short shifter
Greddy turbo timer
Greddy electronic boost controller
98+ JDM shift knob and shift boot
1994+ tail light conversion w/2 center pieces 1 carbon fiber that isn't installed (and will be for sale
EMS digital boost gauge
Bilstein shocks
EBC greenstuff pads rear
Apex-i intake
Kenwood speakers
This vehicle is destined to be my good weather daily driver and supplement my trucks gasoline addiction. I don't want to sell my pick-up, but it is now being moved to a towing/road trip/winter vehicle.
The MR2 will be modified in stages. I really have no end goal for it, just to have fun and enjoy it. This summer it will be the daily driver and my autocross toy. It has some modifications that disqualify me from the stock class, I will leave them in place for now and run in the novice school and decide if I want to setup the car to be class specific, or build it to whatever I choose and just race for fun.
Stage 0: Righting what is wrong -Started
Currently it needs some wiring help, a stereo, some interior plastic pieces replaced, reverse lights installed, new tabs, new tires, fluids changed, tires (new but s/w cracks from underinflation) and just the car needs a good bath. The paint is 20 years old and shows, I will be buffing it out and seeing how it comes back. If I decide to make this a long term project, it will be painted during one of these winters. There is only 1 small spot of rust I've found so far and that will be dealt with in the next few weeks.
