Its a 1992 MR2 Bathurst with a heart transplant. Fitted with a Gen3 3sgte, fully rebuilt forged internals, high flow ct20b, twin plate clutch. Car is stripped and fitted with a half rollcage.
Sits on stock suspension, but all bushings replaced with polythene, Carbing under car braces, Cusco trailing arms, Power FC with hand controller. A 330mm sparco wheel and sparco fixed bucket seat. Gen3 3sgte braided brakes and rotors, whiteline front and rear sway bars. Even tho this is sitting on stock suspension, its perfect! I love it. This car is fully tricked out and is a beast. Makes roughly 210kw @ 14psi

Sexy Ride man! LOL Looks like a lot of us have moved to the MR2. That's so funny. I dunno why I always wanted one. I never seen it dominate anything at anything... But ever since I was a kid I had to have one. I regret selling my stock one, but I still my widebody one. Hoping to get a gen 3 in there by next year and hit up some event at the tracks around here.

That's why even though I keep getting bugged to visit WA, out of the fact others claim I will love the weather more... I simply have all this around me to enjoy. I may just suffer the rest of my life in California, for the track days of memories to come. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

Im not sure if i want to keep it sleeper or not =\
Right now its quiet until i boot it. And looks very stock... But thinking about sticker bombing it abit, with some inapprioate decals haha =| What do you mean numbers? I will personally get it on a dyno myself later. But roughly 210kW at 14psi and tuned for 17psi making 230kW (word from previous owner) This post has been edited by whatthe: Aug 2, 2011 - 2:09 AM -------------------- |

Compression surge at around 3300rpm, hence the dip in the graph. Tbh not too happy with the results hoping to join the 200kw club. Probably just some tuning issues but hey my first benchmark, this is what im working with.
