Wot do u guys recon? i can see its got a bodykit on (not sure wot) different exhaust, hks boost controller and guages, hks air filter, roll cage, alloys, paint job, is there anything ive missed?

Im only asking these questions guys because i live miles away from where the car is and u lot mite be able to spot summot i cant, but for 6k with 33000miles and all them mods its gotta be worth it

Wouldn't touch it mate!

Its obviously an ex race car.

I would always be dubious about resprays too, they are never as good as original paint, and they are usually hiding something

[Driftlimits Performance]

do luck front bumper!
NICE!

Still looking at the other pics....

[Driftlimits Performance]

different turbo......+ Intercooler too I would imagine....

[Driftlimits Performance]

Apart from not knowing the history, I like it! I think it looks coooool!

But really you want to know what turbo it has etc. Get a spec sheet if poss.

[mikewright]

it has hard pipes heading in and out from the intercooler - might be worth asking for a photo of that - probably uprated as well [-o< not sure what the bodykit is though

[KJL Designs]

To be honest mate that looks quite a one off.

The kit on it is made by Do-luck and from the photo's the quality & fitment of the kit looks superb. Together with the finish to the paint makes it one very special looking vehicle.

It's very unlikely that this car has been raced that much as most japanese tracks require four point harnesses to be installed as well as a roll cage. I've imported quite a few MR2's with roll cages, non of which have ever seen a track. Sometimes its down to the owner liking the look or safety aspect.

As for the modifications to the engine, they look to be subtle, airfilter, intercooler etc etc, so not too highly tuned for you to worry about.

From first impressions I really like the car and for that price would seriously consider going for it, but at the end of the day its your money and upto you.

what's going on with the engine bay lid ? - looks like a VW beetle camper van idea

also - what the fook ! - how long are his fingernails ?? - look at the reflection! (or is that a layyydee )

Hi there,

Never seen those side scoops before... Interesting looking car. Like the seats.

[Driftlimits Performance]

the scoops are Do-luck too. It's quite and expensive kit it's got there!

I'd have it!

And I LOVE that spoiler

[blueorb]

Very nice looking car, just dubious about history

Nice leather seats, Where can I get me a pair like that?

[Damo]

Cheers for the reply guys, i love the look of the car its like nothing ive ever seen b4, im happy to spend that sort of money if the cars in fine working order, il have to book an appoitment to see it, il call um up now and c if theyve got a spec sheet and if thats its guarenteed mileage anything else i shud ask while im calling.
Cheers again for the help

rollcage That would ring alarm bells for me, drifting anyone?

I like the colour but that engine cover is shocking and what is going on with those wings jammed out the side of the front bumper - extra downforce?

[Damo]

Yeah i was wondering wot that was sticking out the front bumper

[shafster]

so long as the car runs and drives fine and an inspection checks out, it will be fine mate. there is only one other do-luck kitted mr2 in the country and the kit does cost a lot..... about 2k.

check out www.shockmr2.com

[blueorb]

Go and look it over, you won't really know what it is like until you see it in the flesh.

Keep us posted though!

Good luck mate.

rollcage That would ring alarm bells for me, drifting anyone?

To be honest mate, have you ever tried to drift an MR2? Not impossible but its more hassle than its worth. S13/14/15 much better option.

The roll cage is most likely purely cosmetic. The cage has no padding to it or any marks to indicate it was wrapped in any padding, therefore wouldnt be allowed on most tracks in Japland, plus no four point seat harness.

This its just a case of personal taste by the jap owner, he probably fancied the idea of himslef as a race car driver, but never really wanted to actually get round to it.

[blueorb]

I think I am more interested in "Angel and friends" Shaf!

Did you check them out?

[Damo]

Yeah im gonna arrange to view it this weekend.
Thats an expensive kit then, i love that site m8, took me a while to find the other car tho as i was getting destracted by other photos

[77West]

good luck parking in a tight multi storey car park space with those wings mate....not like wing mirrors they aren't going to fold in!

But seriously, why not spend £4k on an unmolested car and then add the bits you want? That way its customised to you not someone else
