Mikey P's Rev3 Turbo

Post by Mikey P MR2 »

My 3rd mr2 and first Turbo

Just got this and very pleased with it so far :D . It’s not the prettiest mr2 but it has clearly been built for track rather than show and is great fun to drive, just waiting for nicer weather so can really enjoy the boost. I don’t know the spec so if anyone can spot anything they recognise then please post it up.
Will get some better pics at the weekend.

Mike

thanks, the wheels have been clean for a while (just not posted an update for a while) still trying to get a real nice polished finish on the lips though.
The spoiler is indeed quite large although it’s functional and I quite like the look.
I might be adding some rear spats to the rear bumper but have no plans to put on a full kit as it would spoil the usability of the car too much.

Very nice clean car but personally can't see the purpose of spraying the bonnet black on a white car.

It came in black as it’s made from carbon fibre. I quite like the contrast so have no plans to colour code it. Might try and get a carbon boot to match at some point.
