Checking in. I lurk a bit on the MR2OC board, and on some thread or rather there I found a link here. Very clean and fresh forum. I like it very much. Very good also to see the big names from MR2OC here too: El Paalo, Greddysetgo, Nosiritsatoyota, etc. Good work.

Let's start with the car:



She's a 1995 GT-S. So far, she's only been mildly modded with:

ARC Super Induction Box
ARC Intercooler
Mines VX-ROM
Kakimoto N1 Mega Hyper 2000 Exhaust
Blitz SBC-ID3 Boost Controller
Direzza RZF Forged Rims 17x7 (in front) 17x8 (in rear)
Direzza DZ101 Tyres 205/40 (in front) 225/40 (in rear)

Sitting in boxes in my lounge are:

Blitz K1-380V Turbo
Airwalker front bumper spoiler
Airwalker side skirts
Apex'i Power FC + Datalogit

And sitting in my tuner's workshop are:

Sard Fuel Pump
Sard FPR
Airwalker rear bumper spoiler

About me, I live in Osaka and have had my car for about 1.5 years now. Even here in Japan, MR2's are pretty uncommon...unfortunately, like most old cars, they are treated like $hit here by their owners. I'll be shipping my MR2 back to Australia soon (to keep until I return), and then getting an Altezza...at least it's still a 3S-GE...

Great to have you here man. Your 2 looks great! How do you like the ARC ic? I had one but decided to sell it before I installed it because I didn't like how small the inlet/outlet is. Also, what does it cost you to ship the car like that?

I have not dyno-ed my car since putting in the ARC IC, so I can't say if there's been any improvement in powers. There's no additional lag though. My throttle response is noticeably better, but that could be because of the other mods I installed at the same time like the Induction Box, Exhaust or even just the oil change.

It should cost me about US$1500 to ship the car back to Australia, but then there's tax and customs fee etc. All up, it'll be about US$3000 landed in Australia I think.

Incidentally, could anyone tell me if I am likely to crack the 300rwhp mark once all my above listed mods are installed, and the ECU tuned?
