This particular MR2 I've actually owned before and ended up buying it back off the person I sold it to.
So it's a REV5 Turbo T-Bar in Cosmo Blue, originally a UK car that had a REV3+ Turbo conversion done before I bought it.
It was pretty much stock, apart from a BLITZ Nur Spec exhaust and a Blitz induction kit and my god it sounded awesome! It was also running some wheels that weren't staggered and weren't to my taste at all, so they were quickly changed, I also fitted some Tein lowering springs and this is how she looked back in 2013.

2019-01-09_09-18-57 by Daniel Godfrey, on FlickrI then went down the ST205 Charge cooler route and also added a boost controller for good measure.
Nothing really changed to the car then, just keeping up with oil changes etc.
I then had the chance to buy my friends awesome spec Impreza GC8 so I sold the MR2 and my Clio 172 track car to fund buying the Impreza. A year or so passed and I'd saved up some money so I bought another MR2 and built that from the ground up, from an NA to a forged Turbo lump.
Again another opportunity came up (can you spot a trend here) and I sold both the Impreza and the MR2 to fund the purchase of a BMW M3 E92!! Wow what a machine that was. I had the M3 just over a year and loved every second.
I wanted a new track car and I couldn't bring myself to track the immaculate M3 so I ended up selling and buying back the Cosmo blue MR2 which was now running an impressive engine set up.........Motec M4 PRO, GT3082r and lots of boost. Full spec to follow.
Last BMW i ever buy.
