that's a nice power curve + the instant torque must make it a blast.
Respectable numbers.

Nice A/F ratio !

its done!!

So a couple months have passed. Nothing new. Daily driving it and enjoying it fully.

Modifications have pretty much come to a halt on it. Still doing preventative maintenance when needed. I still need to get up underneath and replace the driver side axle and output shaft seal, but it's either been too cold to work on it, or raining.

Saving up funds now to buy a new car in a few months. Not saying what it is at this point as it probably won't be the FR-S/BR-Z

I inadvertently drove this car I am planning on buying, and fell in love with it's auto transmission.


Sadly I toss around on a daily basis to keep the MR2 as weekend status, or sell it... or pull a few of the expensive items off and sell it. Sigh...

No!!!!!!!!!!! Dont sell

I might not. I'm just kind of exploring all of my options. The car I want is going to be ~28K, so the closer I can get with a down payment (with a couple grand set aside for insta-modifications ) the better. I figure if I saved up for the next two months and sold the MR2 for around 9k (would remove the seats probably) I could have a 15K down payment. Besides, all the MR2 would do is sit in my garage for show season to come around every year. It would be a disservice to the car. It deserves to be driven.

I wish I had $9k

I need 9k

9K would be in the event of a quick sale, guys. Last year at a car show some older gentleman offered me 12K. I told him to wait until after the car was finished.

Ok i need an a$$ load of money lol
Eather good luck im sure youll build something sweet

nice car! i was close to doing a v6 3vzfe swap into my 91na (had a donor 92 es300 5spd on standby), but settled for a 96 gen3 3sgte instead. on a v6 standpoint, the 1mz is way better.

Car show tomorrow. Picked up some sweet Chemical Guys products today and got to work.

Wash, dry, clay bar, two coats of JetSeal109, followed by a coat of 5050 concours limited edition (can 461 of 2000)

Nice job......wanna do mine?

It took a while... You fly me out and I'll detail for you!

From the StanceWars show today. Got a spot right next to the NOS booth.

Thats really nicely done, looks to be immaculate, wheel design looks to be very compatible with the car and has a great stance too, making me wanna go out and buy one for a project myself now.

Something to get your juices going

Thought about the Redline Goods suede dash and center console, but realistically you're sticking fabric on your dash that is going to fade and will be a nightmare to clean. I'll stick with my OEM dash.

Little update for yous kids.

Sold my TRD X-brace. It was hanging out in my living room and wasn't ever going to be reinstalled since the V6 intake manifold hits it - even with spacers on the strut tops. Meh. Proceeds will go towards my next purchase...


This guy will end up adorning my steering column in a couple weeks:



tasty.
