October's Showcase showing is the first car we've seen with this unique setup. Starting life as a 4AGE powered MKI, Sébastien opted to change out the powerplant for a much more powerful and desirable BEAMS 3SGE. Stados' love for MR2s started at 18 years old, with a rust MKI N/A being his first car. Since then, Sébastien has owned a total of four MKIs, this Showcase car being his fourth.

After crashing his third MR2, a white Supercharged version, the search for another MR2 began. Sébastien purchased this rust fee 1987 MR2 shell with only 130K miles and began to swap over some of the more desirable parts from his 1989 car, including a full leather interior and sway bar. Stados' sits on the often suggested Koni and Eibach suspension combo and stops through upgraded brake pads with slotted and drilled rotors. The real excitement, however, sits under the engine lid where 200hp are put to the ground through a BEAMS Redtop.

Congratulations to Stados' for having a MKI unique enough to find its way into the October ShowcaseMR2 spot!
Happy MR2ing
