I First owned a Turbod GSR Integra....

BUt then ran into some problems and decided to get rid of it and then i came across the mr2 who a good friend of mine owned.

Things to come:
Corbeau A4 seats
HKS Cams
Head work
Hks Springs
Rear Air Scoop
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Door panels and dash re done to match
TRD spoiler
TMIC
T78
Sleepy eye mod
Digital Cluster
Satin SIlver paintjob(around 12/13/06!)
Turbo rebuild(while car is getting painted)
Clean up the engine

After the cams, fuel pump and uping the psi to 20 i should be making close if not more than 400 rwhp.
Over all goal power wise is to make 500rwhp.

Most likely the car will be sold after paint due to my dad haten on my tuner style. Im 90% positive im getting a used evo 8 from the dealer.

[TalonTsi97]

Did you buy this car from the owner of philly dyno works?

[JDM87]

[Loserkidwac]

I always loved 2G MR2s still want to get my hands on a turbo one but the still sell for a decent amount and are hard to findin good condition...good luck with the project

[Mr. SUAVE]

[JDM87]

ya mr2s are hard to come across in good condition in a local spot too. But thanks for the compliments.

[subwrxkid]

thanks guys...feels good getting a compliment from people that have sick cars.

It's definately one of my favorites due to the originality of it. I really want to check it out sometime, when is the next Philly meet on the blvd that you're going to?

[JDM87]

im most likely going this sunday coming up, i was going ot go last night but didnt because my friend is away and i didnt feel like going by myself

[JDM87]

my birthday is on friday...word on the street is my gf is getting me some goodies for the car...once i open them up and put them on ill be posting some pics

[02rex]

balllin', this car is sick. and yea we'll be there this sunday.

[TalonTsi97]

ya eric hooked it up

I cant beleive he sold it, i talked to him about the car once or twice and wouldnt of expected him to of sold the car.

[JDM87]

Id figure this would be a good time to update. Yesterday a random girl at school wasnt paying attention and hit my car. It is her fault but the dos will be done for a while since hes gotta be repaired. On a good note i might just take the check and have the car completely repainted now rather than later. Updates to come...

[JDM87]

the wife got me a memo steering wheel, sparco hub, and sparco cf pedals. Once i get them on ill take some pictures.

[02rex]

please post a pick of the old steering wheel haha. but it looks so much better with the new momo on there.

[blackvr4]

[CHAOS]

[JDM87]

haha i will get some pics up of how things look

[the mike]

Taillights look sooo much better than the US ones.

[JDM87]

Thanks i like it a lot more toO. I'm planning on blacking out all the lights once the car goes in to get painted, which should be very soon( once i get the check).

[IntegrasAreBest]

damn that is a nice ass car! too bad about your teg though. what kind of problems did it give you?

[JDM87]

i went to bigger injectors to boost higher. Blew the gasket and the compression on 2 pistons were done.

[JDM87]

insurance company is calling monday and i should get a check with in 3 days of that. So the car only has almost 3 weeks till it goes in to go painted.

[124spy]

did you put on the new steering wheel and pedals yet?

[JDM87]

i put the hub and steering wheel on put i dont have a drill so the pedals will be on probably after i get it back from paint. But thank you for helping the wife she is kind of clueless when it comes to car stuff.

[subwrxkid]

what hub and wheel you get?

[JDM87]

sparco hub momo jet series wheel silver and black to match the future color.
