Time to pick on the new boy
Picking up a tatty by but mechanically sound MR-2 Spyder this weekend
Hopefully this wont be classed as sacrilege as I plan on modifying it quite a bit
Mods will include a turbo conversion and a bodykit..... But no ordinary body kit.
One of these!
From here:-

Having dealt with the company before and built one of their other kits this one should be fun.
Having Finnish family (Wife is a Finn) the idea of a Group B rally car replica is too strong to resist

An RS200 rep with a 1ZZ-FE? Whatever turns you on I suppose
I'll be paying attention to this.

Like I said it's not for everyone. I may go for an engine swap but I think that once turbocharged the power should be "Adequate" as long as I can get some flames out the back in true group B Tradition
Also it saves it from the scrapyard
Re: MR-S Roadster in Black
Which turbo kit have you gone for?

One of the guys on two brutal is building one of these can't remember his engine choice though but a 2gr fe would be awesome

Looking at the wifbitz

And the Black Label
https://www.turbokits.com/Toyota/MR2_Spyder/Turbo_Kits/
Whichever I decide will be with the Apexi FC as I have used it before in my Wife's Celica GT4 rally car
Theres also a turbo roadster with a blown engine on ebay as well that I have been considering buying and stripping for parts
