April 2008 Showcase MR2

MR2Showcase · 04-01-2008, 11:39 PM

Congratulations to Silck - MR2Board's April 2008 Showcase MR2!

1992 Toyota MR2 3SGE

Click the below thumbnails for fullsize pictures:

Like many of us, Dennis' dream came true in the fall of 2003 when he picked up a beautiful 92 NA after dreaming about one for over eight years. It's easy to understand the desire to begin modifying your car as soon as possible to complete your quest for the perfect MR2, and Dennis did just that.

First up was a set of Oxigen 18x8" wheels running 215/35r18 up front and 225/35r18 out back. To update the look of the car, black mouldings were painted body colour red, including the Rev3 lip, making this car look a little more like its younger brothers. The lowrise headlight kit came from a Club Germany member and is known as the '4Beam,' and completes the sleepy-eye look many MR2 owners are after. Next up came some basic bolt ons including a 4 tipped Supersprint exhaust and cold air intake. Inside the car sports a short shifter and carbon dash kit. This spring the car is scheduled for window tint, but who knows if Dennis will stop there.

Thanks to Silck for sharing another beautiful MR2 from Europe with us!

Happy MR2ing

Nice deuce! The carbon fiber interior looks great

Bern · 04-02-2008, 02:00 PM

wonder if we can get that light kit here?

I guess this car is better than the olds low rider...i guess...

Oteck · 04-02-2008, 03:10 PM

i think The German was trying to sell them but they were rather expensive. but then again anything from across the pond is expensive

hmong337 · 04-02-2008, 03:16 PM

baddass interior! i love the headlights too.

Silck · 04-02-2008, 03:34 PM

Thank you very much!!!!!
I can´t belive that my car is the showcar of the month!!!
You have boundless possibilities in America, you can do everythink with your car. In germany it´s not so easy. You have for everythink a statute.
So i don´t understand that my car is it!!!????
But ok, it´s a good start to the season.
Sorry my english is not so good!!!

PETC · 04-02-2008, 03:56 PM

Your English is better than my German. And I really like your gauges. I'd like them better with white lighting, but unlit they look awesome. I also love your headlights. How much did those headlights cost anyways?

David48 · 04-02-2008, 08:05 PM

Great looking car. I like the in-dash screen. Nice gauges. Are you planning on doing an engine swap soon?
EDIT: Wow... I just clicked on the linckbacks at the bottom of the page.

I wish I could speak German.
