So a friend of mine who was like a die-hard Honda boy, decided he wanted to get a new car and get rid of his rice rocket civic. So after some looking, he managed to find a 92 JDM MR2. The car is already registered and driveable, but the guy whos selling it, for what ever reason is missing some parts off it, aka front fenders, t-top glass, and rear 1/4 pannel glass. But the motor and every thing else is prefectly fine with it. So hes taking care of gettin the new parts *his parents own a bodyshop*. So he wants me (since im the only toyota guy in windsor), to build up his car for him. Hes got like..7K to drop into it..lol. So he wants to build up some power in the engine, make the interior nice, and hes taking care of the exteior and paint. So for engine stuff, he wants to make some decent HP...around 230ish. So, im thinkin that for the engine build, since im in charge of that, we r gonna go with a intercooler kit probably by Spearco, or Blitz, HKS SSQV, Apexi intake, AEM EMS, Apexi turbo timer, autometer or defi gauges, HKS cam gears, Blitz Downpipe and Nur Spec exhaust, CryO2 intercooler sprayer, and i donno what for a boost controller. I was wondering what you guys think of that setup. He wants to run around 12PSI daily driven safely, but still b able to crank up the boost for when he wants it. I know its an MR2, so making boost safely and being able to cool it down is an issue, hense why we r gonna go with the CO2 spray. But any suggestions for a boost controller thats adjustable from the cabin. I was thinkin the AEM tru-boost system, but the only thing is about that is instead of giving a boost reading (ie 10PSI, 14PSI), it gives a % after stock boost...so if your running 7psi stock, on the gauge it says 25%..so its that 7psi+25% of it. Im also thinkin about the Pro-Fec B...but i dunno much about that.

For suspension im gonna b going with TEIN coilovers with EDFC and ST suspension sway bars, and for wheels we r either thinkin OEM MKIV Supra TT 17's or a set 5Zigen FN01R-C's in 17.

For exterior styling, we r gonna do Kouki tails, TOM'S style airscoope, Supra style side vents, Kouki front lip, TRD extensions..and i dunno what hes planning on doing for front fenders and side skirts.

Interior, Defi or Autometer gauges, gonna hide all the little things like the boost controller, turbo timer, cabel for the computer connection to the EMS, etc in the compartment between the seats, audio is his department, Nardi Steering wheel, and probably some sparco single peice seats.

What do you guys think??

We r headin back to toronto tomorrow to take a look/pickup the car and then most likely gonna b buying the parts tomorrow aswell.
