After owning a rev 2 uk gt-i16 i always wanted to get back into a Mr2 and said id only go back if i got a turbo one, I got a 2002 astra in the auctions cheap and didnt really like it and found someone with this mr2 and done a swap . So nice to be back in a mr2 deffo missed it and the turbo is so much better than the na. Anyway heres some pics:
Day i got it home
Car was imported in 2003 and heres the spec from the ad
2.0L Twin Entry Turbo
TRD Tuned;oversized cams, bearings ect.
Balanced Lightened Flywheel
Organic Sports Clutch
Dump Valve
Spitfire Boost Guage
Sporting Steering Wheel
Momo Gear Knob
Blitz 16" split rims(req refurb)
Raceland Bucket Seats
3 Point Harnesses
7800KM
Original MR2 Mats
Tax till march 2011
MOT till October 2010
No proff of the engine mods which was a shame but the car seems strong even tho im only running standard boost at the mo. And the milage isnt what was stated.
So first thing first i got some import front lights
as i like the JDM look on these cars
then i got rid of the metal work infront of the exhaust
then i changed the steering wheels as it wasnt to my taste
Next job was seats as i didnt like them or fit in them very well
so i found a set of mint full leathers from a R reg mr2 at the breakers and got a mint ashtray too for a whole £100 bargin :yahoo:
Changed my rear fog switch next as it had a massive orange one so done this as its a bit more descrete
Carbon vinal around gear surround
TRD key
Then i attacked the tired rear lights with autosol
I have a new set of 13 x 6" number plates on the car no pics of the rear but you can kind of see the front one here look alto better
Next lot of plans are:
Refurb the wheels (if im brave enough to split them)
Change the decat as its cracked/split just have another cheap one for now to get thru MOT
Change passenger side repeater (right pain in the rear to find)
Just orderd a set of import 180kph clocks from gtichris
Sort out a couple of issues under the bonnet out
New front bumper
Relocate the Boost gauge to the pillar and try cover up the whole it will leave :crybaby:
Remove dump valve - DONE!
Was thinking with the wheels to do black centres and white rims, But should i risk taking them apart and if a bolt snaps or somthing will i find one, they are Blitz 2 piece wheels anyone split a set of blitz wheels before?
So whats everyone think so far my plan is to just keep it standard ish and keep tidying it and enjoying it.
Update 30-07-2010
New 13" x 6" plates fitted
New Clocks not quiet the ones i wanted but looks better than before wanted the plain 180 kp/h ones so need to get a converter now as these a mph
Better pic of my carbon vinal (need a std gear knob and to sort the gaiter out)

Just keep it standard-ish.
Money spent, is money thrown away.
You could loose the snorkel
And regarding those bolts... there is a site you can order all kinda screws and stuff for split rims. So you should be oke.
For the rest, nice looking car

Re: My Rev 2 GT-S project update 11-5-11 racing harts on
Done some of them small jobs around the car:
Plastic boot trim from a breaker for free with some other parts (stereo surround ect) as mine was missing
Bonnet Stay as mine was also missing!?!?
And new hard pipe - IC pipe as mine had a DV t-piece in it -- Thanks foxy-stoat
Also have fitted a horn button to my steering wheel (non functional)
And fitted a funtional horn button i made in one of the blanks next to the fogs as the hub wasnt connecting so had no hron at all.
And replaced the stereo surround as the prievous owner had drilled a hole in it for the boost gauge vac pipe and wires. Next jobs are get rid of the boost gauge and get a new one and an A pillar pod and i have a smooth rear light panel comming i will wrap in carbon...

Just fitted a nice brand new HKS airfilter got it to cheap to turn down!
Re: My Rev 2 GT-S project update 11-5-11 racing harts on
Very nice and good choice of mods also look's better with the centre panel been carbon rather than red did you laquer it? Would look a million time's better with just some laquer on there.
Re: My Rev 2 GT-S project update 11-5-11 racing harts on
Cheers mate.
Not sure how well the laquor would take to the vinyl tho
