Hi everyone.

Im a regular on the UK forums and on the OC USA forum but thought I would say hi and show you my cars changes over the past 6 years.

Bought standard in 2002 - 1993 Rev2 3S-GE

Installed Alpine 7892R head unit and changer

Painted calipers black

Added clear corners, Momo gear knob and a Mongoose exhaust. Painted dash inserts and bought a Momo steering wheel.

Restored engine bay and added Apexi filter

Fitted full High N' Tight poly bush kit

Fitted Eibach Pro-kit springs and TRD short shift, front ARB and motoria front strut bar

Installed rev3 JDM rear lights and tinted orange bits red

Bought mint Rev2 Recaro seats

Sourced and refurbished rare 16" Tom's C7R's

Installed a rare Buddy Club ECU

Got it dyno'd with good results for a 3SGE (158bhp fly as stock) shown here at 170bhp fly

Purchased TRD rear strut brace and was in the middle of changing the engine bay to this....

.......when the powder coating residue stripped my piston rings.

So I bought this......

Modified it with Stainless downpipe, all new cambelt pulleys, cambelt change, HKS SSQV, cold grade NGK's, Apexi filter, Motoria stainless Dep2 copy exhaust, MT90 LSD fluid which resulted in this......

sourced some GAB revo Stroke R coilovers used for $300

Fitted Blitz boost gauge

Finaly I just bought some A-Tech Final speed 16" monoblocks for winter use

And thats where Im at. New engine is running not far off 300bhp at the fly according to an MR2 specialist.

6 years down the line and love it as much as day 1!
