Well,
I'm reluctant to post this, but I can't stand to see this car abused anymore, being parked on the street with people backing into it, and not to mention the snow.

Heres some info:

1991 NA MR2 with a 1993 JDM swap + LSD tranny (runs perfectly when the temp is above freezing) Mileage on the swapped engine is around 80-85k. I dont know the exact mileage on the engine/drivetrain

Has the following mods:
Ferrari F355 body kit (front bumper is toast thanks to some a$$hole with a trailer hitch)
CRW upgraded axles
Tein lowering springs
hard hot and cold piping (stock intercooler)
K&N airfilter
EMS Powered front strut bar (tri point)
TRD Short shifter with 93+ knob
Schroth 3-point harnesses with matching pads (black)
Autopower bolt in roll bar with crossbeam, spray painted dark grey and not in the car
EMS powered boost gauge (digital) not installed
EMS ashtray gauge pod, not installed
1 set of 93+ OEM wheels with studded Blizzaks (on car)
1 set of Konig Imagines (7X17) with Toyo Proxies (40/205) on the front and Kuhmo Ecstas (45/235) on the rear (both will need replacement in the not-too-distant future)
1 set of BSA 304s (8X17) with a set of tires that will not fit the 2

Issues:
as stated above, Front bumper is toast
VC gasket needs to be changed (I have one that will come with the car)
Pops out of 4th gear if above rev-matching point, but not below
grinds a little in 1st occasionally
Passenger mirror broken, electric mirrors stopped working
paint needs touch-up

Things in the process of being fixed:
brake fluid is being replaced, as well as the front pads
stereo doesn't get power, chasing electrical gremlins, I have a feeling this will fix the mirror issue as well

I'm not super motivated to sell, if there is no interest, the car will be put into storage until i can start working on it in spring. Although it would be nice not to have to take the bus. If you have trades (MR2 and non-MR2 alike) feel free to pm me offers

Thanks for reading,
Mack

Here is a picture with the konigs on the car


Here is one with the BSAs


These are the only pictures I currently have of the damage to the bumper, I will take more when it comes home from the shop
