newb from El Centro

blackdemon · 10-14-2009, 11:26 PM

Hello All,

I'm Alvaro, or Al, I live in El Centro, one of the hottest places in the U.S., I just bought a 91 MR2 Turbo 5 speed. The car is pretty beat up, but it works as a project car for now, as I'm looking in to possibly resurrecting it, piecing it back together, and hopefully showing it off later. I bought the car from MR2SW22, not sure if you guys can see his picture, if not I'll figure out how to post them on here. Vader side skirts are on order to replace the current ones and need to pull out some mild and heavy dents on driver side, after I a few more adjustments here and there I'll be throwing on a fresh coat of red paint. I'm not attacking MR2SW22, he's a good guy he pointed out all the adjustments that needed to be done. Point is I wanted a car like this to build back up.

Here is the Mod list

-K&N intake filter
-KO racing chrome intake pipe
-CT-27 with 50mm trim on the turbo rebuild recently
-ROF BOV (its super loud!)
-ATS racing intercooler with shroud and 9inch puller fan
-ATS throttle body inlet upgrade
-ATS adjustable cam gear exhaust side set to *6
-EMS powered 3" down pipe
-3" custom piping no cat
-Blitz nurspec exhaust
-Two's R us MBC set to 10psi
-Apex-I AFC 2 installed and working great
-JDM 3S-GTE ECU with advanced timing
-Custom red/blk steering wheel
-Sparco Star Racing seat, adjustable
-TRD short shifter
-Two's R us Brass shifter link bushings
-Sportline eibach lowering springs, 1.5 drop
-After market sway bars, i dunno which brand but the bushings are red
-brand new Optima Dry Cell Red top battery with 84 month warranty, i'll give you the receipt i bough this 2 weeks ago and you get the warranty.
-Head unit is a 4 inch dvd monitor, and it's a cd player/radio, works great
-Super rare, worth $1500 plus shipping from japan, Phoenix power front bumper/head light conversion. you won't see another like it in california, only 2 are known to be in the US.
