MR2 in the making

[b00sted_spyder]

I guess I'll make a little project thread on the 2. That would make 2 MR2's on this forum. This was originally my brother's car but it's becoming mine since he is not driving it anymore. It's a 1991 T top Toyota Mr2 turbo. White on black which are becoming harder to find. My brother bought it all stock a few years ago. Had a coolant leak which caused a little bit of overheating. A few mods he had done to the car is K-Sport coilovers, Blitz type 03 wheels with BFgoodrich tires, and a Sard BOV. Now that it's in my hands with 103k miles I've got a few mods planned for it. Nothing extreme like the spyder. Planning to just look good and have fun with it this summer. Alright on with the pictures:

Forgot to add the OEM mud guards that are overly priced. I've always thought they look a whole lot better with them. Maybe next week when it's warmer I'll get around to installing all of the parts laying around.

Nice! I've always liked the white 2nd gens.

BTW, there are at least 3 MR2's on the board. I've had mine for a few years (semi-restoring it and rallycrossing it). I have an 85 hardtop though. I may or may not get rid of the rust on the back panels. Not sure yet though.

Small update on what I've been doing with the 2. I've removed the 91 tail lights and soon to install the Kouki tail lights. Got my MAF adapter to run a basic 3" air filter which will be replaced with a K&N later on. I'm going to make my own turbo intake pipe instead of buying a $160 kit. The pipe should make the engine bay a lot less cluttered. The front lip has been sanded down will probably be primered in 2 weeks. Greddy style side mount intercooler kit, fan shroud, block off shroud, and slim fan coming in sometime next week or 2. Next to buy are OEM tune up parts and a simple catch can. Will post pics when I receive the parts.
