Up here in Alaska

UglyMR2 · 09-23-2009, 02:28 PM

Well, my name is Chris and I have a 93 MR2 Turbo with a host of mods but not yet finished. I originally got into cars when I purchased an Eagle Talon TSI and the turbo bug bit me. Since then I have owned 2 Alltracs and a Supra with mild mods and then I have had over 10 DSM's including every turbo model and gerneration up to the Evo 9. Right now though I have a 91 Galant VR4 as a project that I have owned for 4 years and the MR2. As it sits the MR2 needs some motor work as I think it has a blown piston (waiting for my new leakdown tester). But from there I want to finish all the mods on it to have a well rounded 11 sec car.

Current Mods list:
Greddy 20g turbo kit
Greddy Exhaust
HKS Blow off valve
TRD front and rear strut tower bars
TRD struts and springs
TRD crossed drilled rotors and pads
Tom scoop over filter
HKS Boost gauge and EVC IV
Upgraded clutch of some sort

all of the current mods were done by previous owner and would not be my first choice

Future mods once motor is fixed or replaced:
Cams
Fuel Pump
Injectors
Intercooler and piping
Something for tuning

How is the car scene up in Alaska? I would imagine that you have 1 of 12 MR2s up there...
