Its good to see someone still being so enthusiastic about enhancing their mr2:thumleft:

Border bonnet, bomex front bumper, and the vented front wings (carbenfibrecreations?) would be my recommendations, as well as smooth ally undertray and I've seen on eBay some carbon rear diffusers. But having said that I'm not sure how much actual downforce these parts would make as opposed to being a placebo, whereby in theory they should do this ergo we perceive them doing that?

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
