Congratulations to RePete - MR2Board's August 2007 Showcase MR2!
1991 Turbo MR2 Hardtop

Perhaps one of the most desired MR2 trims in the community today is the Hardtop Turbo. RePete choice in MR2s seems to fit that generalization. Having purchased the car from the original owner out of Utah, the only Hardtop MR2s found in Canada were imported by their new owners, and not Toyota canada. With a nearly entire OEM exterior, the only aftermarket addition to Pete's car is a set of classy 5 spoked SSR Integral A2 forged wheels in 16" up front and 17" out back.
A true MR2 enthusiast appreciates that Pete's car isn't built with crazy modifications, but that it's an excellent example of OEM upgrading with the intention of making the MR2 a better car, without sacrificing any Toyota genuine quality. Most recently, RePete added a brand new 1995 OEM LSD Transaxle with '93+ upgraded shift lever. Furthering the upgrade to the Rev2+ specifications, Pete's car sports a full suspension and brake setup from a 1993+ car including the famed Brad Bedell. master cylinder brace and stainless steel brake lines. Keeping with the OEM quality, Pete's car has been stiffened by TRD strut braces hidden by the front and rear hoods. More obviously, the car's exterior has been updated with a set of 1994+ taillights.
Repete's '91 Turbo sets a perfect example for those owners nor interested in flashy mods, but classy, and well maintained fun.
Happy MR2ing Pete
