MR2 No. 5 - This one's for keeps! Rossymond is BACK!

Post by rossdymond3352 »

I've been lurking for a while, but i'm finally back behind the wheel of a '2...and it's my favourite so far.

Big thanks to ci_newman (Chris) for selling her too me.

She started life as a UK Spec Rev3 Tbar. Chris had a rev1 Turbo Engine fitted back in 2007 and no exspense has ever been spared on her.

Suspension is all polybushed, discs/pads/calipers are all new and if i'm fairly honest, shes a bit of a minter!

An ARC Intercooler was fitted at time of conversion, which will soon be replaced with a chargecooler install.

My Mod's have been to fit a DEP2 Exhaust, 16inch Rim's from a R32 GTR. Which I think suit the car down to the ground. I've also added a Carbon REV5 Spoiler.

Some of you saw her at the recent Guildford meet in stock for, and here's a few shots I took while out and about, excuse the dirty car, I do a lot of miles!

Future mods are as yet undecided, but will most likely include a built engine, of the rev3 variety, and upwards of 400bhp. But as for cosmetic stuff, she's done :)

Comments of all varietys greatly appriceated :)

Also a HKS Filter has been added (Nice one lee :thumleft:) to aid my want for noise!
