Re: Spyder in the making
The turbo is from Lor and Seng's spyder way back in 05/06 when they first bought the car. Some kind of Schwitzer/Borg Warner S200 with the mitsu housing. 50 trim I guess you can say. I'm kind of looking at a new turbo also. Top mount is wanting to be installed in the engine bay. But I'm definitely gonna rock this 50 trim with the FP manifold this summer.

Re: Spyder in the making
My next purchase will probably be the front knuckle kit. Around $200 for both front knuckle, lateral arm, and control arm with new ball joints. OEM of course. Front bumper bracket, tail light gasket, and a few other OEM parts will be ordered too. Probably replace the front wheel bearing/hub along with ARP extended wheel studs. The car has pretty much become a restoration car. I've got a lot of new OEM parts and will continue to get more.

Re: Spyder in the making
Been too broke to fix the spyder. MR2 and the DD needed some maintenance. Bought some small stuff and test fit.
Current engine bay
Now I need someone to help me remove that broken bolt, weld downpipe, intercooler piping. I can tow it to somebody who can help remove the bolt and weld the parts I need. |

Re: Spyder in the making
Car looks good for sure. Are you keeping the rear widebody?

Re: Spyder in the making
Thanks. I have no choice right now but to keep the widebody. No $$$ to remove it right now.

Re: Spyder in the making
are those slicks? Not a fan of the body kit but still looks to be coming along well. Congrats!

Re: Spyder in the making
Yes those are slicks. Came with the wheels. Body work cost too much money. I'm too concentrated on buying OEM parts.

Re: Spyder in the making
Honestly, even WITH the body kit the car looks bad ass. I'm not going to lie. I loves those EDM 'tails too!
Another thing; I want your front bumper! lol

Re: Spyder in the making
I think a decent sideskirt would make it not look bad at all. Then again, I'm a sucker for widebodies.

Re: Spyder in the making
I'm actually really diggin the whole body kit except for the front bumper, something about it just doesn't seem right. I think less front lip and moar low might help a bit too. Car looks good though man!

Re: Spyder in the making
I have always wanted purpled HKS cam gears. Thats pretty fucking awesome.
Now if only you woulda scrapped the body kit.
Good job overall, I think you have done a lot of good quality mods and really made the car nicer. I remember that car back in it's heyday.

Re: Spyder in the making
Not much update. I guess it was time for a catch can setup. Just bought a wrinkle black Frontline Fab catch can last week. Should be here tomorrow. Still need to buy the fittings and lines. Looked up the prices and it's going to cost over $150 for the fittings and lines alone. Also bought a powdercoated red valve cover with 1/2 NPT threads, new front hubs, and thermostat housing+water pipe with -16AN. When the time is right I will switch to an aluminum radiator with -16AN. Looks like I'll be ordering my next batch of OEM parts tonight or tomorrow.
Same as this one but powdercoated wrinkle black.
