so far with my sw20 iv done the following mods:
TRD Hard type springs
Flying Brick Short shifter with TRD leather gear knob (modified gen 1 shifter complete with shift bearings)
Sportline Steering wheel
2.5" stainless exhaust (mandrel bent of course)
K&N pod filter with cold air intake
heatwrapped intake pipe and exhaust manifold
relocated windscreen washers to the wiper cowl
shaved radio aerial
partially stripped interior
removed air conditioning (after all thats what t tops are for isnt it?)
full Veilside bodykit (yea i kno its not everyones idea of nice but i like it an thats what matters right?)
have just bought a set of 16" 2 piece dished wheels off trade me (nzs ebay) and will be picking those up in a couple of days.

Very cool. We have several here from NZ but I haven't seen them lately. Be sure to put your approximate location on the MR2 Google Map. You'll be the first in NZ.
