the front fenders need to be reworked and rounded in the front,the rear fender wells look as if they rolled them an made the opening bigger.

lower it and keep the rest
I like everything he said. And if you can't get rid of that scoop, then the only sensible thing to do is swap in a 3sgte, and find some way to mount an intercooler in the front. Probem solved.

Oh wow I'm seeing some action in here.. Haven't been to the boards in awhile. If anyone's interested, I was working on it quite a bit till it died on me (major electrical problems) and it's been sitting around for a bit UNTIL I found another MR2 locally that had front end/frame damage. I'm currently in the process of swapping just about everything from that car into mine, but keeping the front end. So 3sgte, interior, entire drivetrain, ect. Then I'm thinking I'll have it painted if everything turns out alright, meaning I'm losing the scoop, mirrors and fixing up the body a bit. We'll see how it turns out. I'll post pics of the process and current condition if anyone's interested.

i think it doesnt look that bad. it would have looked better with 94+ tail lights. i wouldnt put them on my MR2 because it takes away the look of the MR2

i don't mind the head lights, it looks nice actually but there is a few things that needs to go let see

1st the 5sfe, i've seen alot of kitted/fast looking cars until i see whats under a hood of disappointment. whats with that?
2nd the hood scoop, wtf did he have a hamster up the front that it needs air?
3rd the 5sfe, car needs an abortion asap
4th the tail lights, seriously you got $$$ to do the front and neglect the back
5th them seats, are teh fugly
6th did i mention 5sfe?

Someone else did the conversion. This guy only just got it and is fixing it. The tail lights aren't his fault. And the newest mr2only features an MR2 with close to 1000bhp.

YouTube - MR2 GOES 9 SECONDS
when I took that quote, I was referring to the initial design. I have no doubt in my mind they can be built up to outperform many other cars on the drag strip, it's just more desirable on curvy roads.

ya dig?

EDIT: I removed it as to not offend, or be misunderstood. my apologies.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, sorry I have been busy but I will post up pictures soon! Swap is ALMOST done already!

Engine bay has been completely swapped now, we're just finishing up the wiring, entire interior and some of the things under the hood (radiator, ac). I am pretty confident I will have it running by wednesday after next. Soon as it's mechanically sound, I'm pretty sure I will rework some of the body and have it repainted. I plan to lose the scoop and side mirrors, and to make sure the front end is done well as it's currently barely held together. But for now, one step at a time!

Not that it seems there is any interest, but now work has started on the body of the car. We're stripping all the paint and bondo crap and redoing the rear and sides, then trying to remount the front bumper properly. Redo the hood if we can, lose the hood scoop for sure. Side mirrors have gone back to stock awhile ago. I'm thinking of repainting yellow on the bottom and black on the top (side mirrors up), but not decided on the paint yet. This car will have seen a COMPLETE transformation since I got it. I'll post progress pics if anyones interested at all.
