Hey everyone, glad to join :D

Hey everyone! Just picked up my MR2 a few months ago after lusting for one for over ten years. I finally picked up my Red 91T beginning of December from an extremely nice guy who just did a huge repair, which included a new head gasket, timing belt, water pump, clutch, turbo gasket/tubes, resealed everything, and even more. Had the paperwork for it, and all of the paperwork since it's first purchase back in 1990! Stock turbo on 118xxx now, and it doesn't even lag!

What's on it so far are...

Gram Lights rims 17x7.5 and 17x8.5 on Riken Raptors 215 on front and 245 on back (I'm changing the tires eventually, Riken... lol).
Cross-drilled front brake rotors (not on back!)
Greddy Turbo Timer
Autometer guages (Vac/Boost and Air/fuel. A/F isn't hooked up though)
Clear corner JDM lights
94+ tail lights
K & N Air Filter
TRD Short shifter
Cool little design on the dash... Wanna be carbon-fiber? lol
AVIC-2 GPS/DVD/MP3/CD player... I love it

Oh yeah, and the guy painted the brakes red... Makes me laugh sometimes.

I think that's it. It's fully loaded.. Leather.. Everything. I weeped tears of joy when I drove it home and parked it in the garage.

I'm planning to do auto-crossing with it, and just to drive it around the track every now and then. But for now, it's my daily driver that I cherish .

My plans are full suspension right now. Not sure what to do for power though. I'll think about it. So far I'm thinking the ATS CT27 for a better turbo... Hmm..

Oh, and re-painting it. The paints oxidizing since it's still the orginal paint job!

Have some pictures. Hope to be a good part of this community

I took these when I first got it. I got rid of that white strip where the timer is, it made the car look ugly. The dash looks better, that angle makes it look really yellow!

EDIT: I forgot to mention, it has NorCal IMOC on the rear window... Someone seen this car before by any chance!
