double my budget to get a really good, reliable, rot free example.
(Neighbour in my road restores and rents out VW campers)So I decided to pay off some of the debt I accrued on my Rev5 Turbo, so even though Ive sold her, Im still
£££'s in debt for her lol...such is life eh
My last 2 Rev5 Turbo's 
But it wasnt all clouds
as my Dad has a Caribbean Blue MR2 Two Brutal 1MZFE V6 
Ironically, I bought back my old Rev5 Turbo in April 2013, then persuaded my Dad to go 50:50
and buy this V6 MR2 in May 2013 from a TwoBrutal member
Tripod23 aka Simon. Simon's attention to detail is what grabbed me, he had spent many hours on her and had effectively renewed every serviceable item
whilst also completing much restoration and preservation as he completed this 1MZFE conversion, it was so neat and so thoroughly
completed you could be forgiven in believing Toyota had completed it in Japan.
Simon even took it to his Toyota Main Dealer in Lancashire and had Toyota do a full inspection and assessment of the conversion!
He was that thorough, that Toyota assessed the conversion as meeting their high standards and he received a letter from Toyota to this effect
The build thread is well documented on Two Brutal

Here's a few pics of her when we bought her in May 2013...
The V6 is such a different beastie to drive and so responsive, still that kick in the pants on acceleration but much more linear.
My Dad just drove summer/dry miles since owning her and wasnt until last year that any changes were made.
***************************************************************************************************Then bought a
genuine Rev5 combat spoiler & turbo engine lid (thanks Krish) & resprayed Caribbean blue.Installed my
WMS brake calipers
Removed the OEM wheels and put on my
Desmond Wise wheels
Then fitted my
Tein Flex coilovers with custom droplinks, which gave her a lower stance but now the ride is too hard for my Dad lol.I never installed the EDFC, so its defaulted to its hardest setting!!!
Im still in 2 minds whether to keep the Tein's on or remove and refit the refurbished struts with yellow koni dampers (once Ive sourced some suitable lowering springs).Our only other bugbear is the OEM Turbo exhaust.
..So we are undecided on exhausts at the moment.
..
***************************************************************************************************Otherwise bodywork wise, we had toyed with keeping her then as she is, but having owned my last Black REV5 Turbo with Greddy skirts etc
it was natural that Id be drawn to
this look.... 
...with Genuine Gracer/Greddy sideskirts already in Caribbean Blue 
Would be rude of me not to fit them heh
Then fit my
Recaro Tomcats
.....Now the plans are just to share and enjoy her with my Dad lol.
Go to a few meets and shows and drive her
