Cool thing about it is that I never submitted the pic, Instead I was contacted by a staff member of Import Tuner asking for permission to publish the pic after posting a few pics of my MR2 in a photography forum. Makes me want to start shooting again lol.

It's the bottom pic of my white MR2, Most of you have seen this pic since Ive posted it on here before (It was shot last December here in Vegas during the snow storm next to Lone Mountain)




The car is currently for sale :(

I'll start off w/ my current gear

Canon 50D + some fast lenses

Shot using a 17-55 2.8 w/ just image stabilizer, it feels like cheating w/o a tripod


Shot using a 85 1.2L on tripod, shake still visible as i forgot to bring the remote trigger (could have used the 2sec timer but its too late)

Most of my pictures are done on the long end to prevent distortion and unflattering look when shooting up close. None of my images has been modified and are natural as possible out of the camera, save for the white balance correction. ]]> Show Off Oteck http://www.mr2.com/forums/show-off/Toyota-MR2-47034-official-photography-corner.html <![CDATA[Mr2man's build thread: 700+whp, high comp 5sgte, full race, 6262 turbo]]> http://www.mr2.com/forums/show-off/Toyota-MR2-46988-mr2man-s-build-thread-700-whp-high-comp-5sgte-full-race-6262-turbo.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:13:02 GMT Mr2man's build thread

Keep following this thread as I will keep updating it.

Well its fall/winter time again, and that means that the racing season is over it is time for winter upgrades. This last season I hit my goal of running a 10 second quarter mile time, it was a 10.9 @ 132mph. The car had a lot more left in it, as that was my first clean pass that I made at high boost. A week or two later I took the car to the track again and my luck was not so good this time. I made ONE pass and the block started spewing out coolant. The following day I pulled off the turbo/manifold and I could see the crack in the block. So I ordered a 98+ 5s block to convert to a 5sgte, but the block didn't show up in time to do any more racing this year. So I have decided to change some things up.

Here is a in car video of the run that cracked my block, I didn't even know it happened. My buddy in the mustang at the end of the track told me to pull over because my car was smoking.
YouTube - mr2 - 12.1 at 125mph

Changes:

98+ 5s block
High compression CP pistons
Full Race Exhaust Manifold
Precision Billet 6262 Turbo
Custom 4" vband downpipe and exhaust (stainless of course)
Precision 46mm Vband Wastegate
L19 Headstuds
ID2000 or Bluemax Injectors

Possible Changes:

Upgraded ignition system (if mine doesn't hold up)
Linelock
Slicks and skinnies
93+ Lip

Goals:
700whp
140mph trap speed
Be able to drive the car to and from the track

Parts for sale (I will be adding more to this list):
CP stroker pistons
FIC 1150cc Injectors
ARP Head Studs
AEM 3.5 bar map sensor
ATS GT3082 Turbo kit - Pending sale
5s Block - Pending Sale

My manifold isn't here yet, but this is the one I am getting except thermal coated in black.


Here is the new 98+ 5s block. Interesting fact, according to the place I got it from it came out of a 1994 car.

Block as I got it.


After putting the freeze plugs in and paint. Notice the "factory" oil feed that came on this block


98+ style 5s blocks do not have holes drilled for the axle carrier bearing so you have to drill and tap those.

Old motor out of the car


This is why you can't make 500+whp on a 3s block

It also cracked the outside of the block, which was a coolant leak i could never seem to find.

New 10:1 vs Old 8.5:1 pistons


New bottom end assembled

]]> Show Off Oteck http://www.mr2.com/forums/show-off/Toyota-MR2-46840-what-does-your-work-desk-look-like.html My MR2, 14 months in the making :) http://www.mr2.com/forums/show-off/Toyota-MR2-46775-my-mr2-14-months-making.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:02:10 GMT Well it's been a long journey but here is my baby my 2. Not knowing it at the time, a friend was also seeking this 5spd 1993 hardtop NA with the only option being ABS. When I talked to the seller for the second time, he told me that there was 5 people coming to look at it in the next few days and so I told him, let me come RIGHT NOW. So I skipped out of class to go check it out and it did :) It came with mud flaps and 94 tails too.

Paint wasn't good at all, that was the biggest problem, also, the bumper was modded with nasty fog lights. The positioning of the fog lights did grow on my a bit though. I took the liberty of washing and waxing it...looked a bit better.




1st mod which was done almost immediately, was the sound system. The cd player I was told (only the front speakers worked, stock rears) , would only worked when it felt like it, plus it was UGLY! I threw some 6x9s in the back and found out later that I had some nice 2 way alpines in the doors :thumbup:

Since I was doing the interior, I figured that LED for the cluster would update it a bit and try and match my new CD player. They didn't match buy they do compliment each other. Thanks goes to BEN whom I got the idea from. I recommend it to everyone and it's really really easy ;)



Next up was a tint meet that we had here in socal, 6 or 7 of us all got our windows done. 2 of which got a ticket in the following week :lol: I guess I shouldn't laugh as I got mine last night :( I added a pic of your fellow MR2 owners at the meet....




Then disaster struck... a tool nails my baby while I'm driving down the street minding my own business. I don't want to post pics of that cause it hurts :tear: the deadbeat kid, had no insurance and no money SO...3000.00 bucks later, she is back on the road good as new. This gave me the opportunity to do a few things while she was down, pick up a turbo engine lid, JdM front end, an unbent rear trunk (happened to be black, now my car is half black at this point :lol:) and have some patience!





She looks terrible now being several different colors but that's ok, I still need to mod! :devil: Up next was 91 turbo brakes and front trd strut bar. This pic is from a socal meet that we had where people could come and fix, mod and do whatever to your 2. It was a great day with a bunch of cool people. I also removed the 94 tails and put on the 91s that day.




Here is the front of my car post accident, also check out that GAP! :rofl:




Needless to say, I needed to fix that gap, so I bought some ST springs. I didn't like em, so I bought some TRD which I should of in the first place. The car sat a lot better with the trds...

The next few things I decided I had to do were the seats. They were in pretty good shape, but I lusted after 94s+. I did one better though, Mark_Dorman got his hands on some 98 G-limited seats and passed them onto me for my seats and a little bit of cash. Thanks MARK! I also got hooked up through another board member for a detachable steering wheel. It took me a while to track down this specific wheel which came with a rare horn button which I haven't ever seen. I tom's was the appropriate choice. I would have preferred it stock but my neighborhood is borderline sketchy :ugh: Here is the interior from a pic I took today. Yes I know, I need to vacuum! Oh yeah, I got a trd short throw that was modded by Deuce girl, so that I could fit the tall style shifter instead of the ugly greddy that was destroying the look of the car...




The next step is the best part. PAINT! It took me a while to find out the best red. I decided to go with 'passion red' by Volvo. I think that it turned out well. I also got the holes for the front plate patched and the toyota symbol holes on the trunk welded.






Looks good eh? :) we're still not done here folks. I gave the guy who painted my car 9-12 days to get it done. I went to go pick it up and found out it was only 95% done. He had ran out of paint and I had ran out of patience. He still hadn't paint the rear add ons, spoiler and the G-limited/toyota badges. I ditched my other car to help pay for the paint and took my car back anyways. In the mean time, I decided to pick up a Legalis R exhaust and put it on :) FYI, wingless does grow on you, the trunk opens SO EASILY and it's a nice view out your rear window! :D




Alas, I get my wing back, put it on. I took several hours to wash, clay and wax it today for this post. A big thanks to everyone that has helped me oGspdracer, masagsxr, davis, ren and Mark_Dorman especially.
