its a Border bumper. It actually doesnt look as good as it does in the photos. If you cant tell, the top of the front bumper is uneven. its not as rigid as it should be and the left signal light is cracked. As soon as i get the original paint, im going to fix the bumper and fill some dents around the body. maybe get some skirts and rear fender to complete the kit.

yeah i would come but houston is just too far for me to drive. my car already has enough miles on it already. i dont even really feel comfortable driving to denton which is about an hour and 45 mins away from where i live.

That's a shame, because it's without a doubt the best MR2 bumper I've seen so far. That's going in for the kill once it gets the sideskirts and rear. #1

2220lbs, with the 165+hp blacktop 20v 4age... it's quick enough to give a stock mkii turbo a run for its money.

Raptor, is that your stock trans on your Blk top 20V? If so, how does it hand teh power increase?

I'm using the C52. It had the C50 stock, but the guy I bought it from gave me a C52 he had lying around.

It's capable of handling a 4age without issue; they don't produce all that much torque.

13Beast · 09-22-2009, 08:40 PM

Pics of my '93 GTS. Purchased about 3 months ago here in Japan (I live in Matsuyama, Shikoku). Still finishing off a few bits and pieces such as fitting new TEINS, some minor paint touch-ups and getting some new rubber.
Got a nice mod list including a TD06, Greddy Intake Manifold, Power FC, HKS 272 cams, OS Giken twin plate clutch, TRD 1-way, Border body kit, Toms duckbill spoiler, etc etc. Previous owner alleged it had over 400PS. I've yet to dyno it and find out but I plan to in the near future.

mr.asian.m2 · 09-22-2009, 09:20 PM

nice find. i can tell it use to be a red mkII

13Beast · 09-22-2009, 10:25 PM

Yeah, engine bay gives it away. Been a quality color change though - unlike many other JDM cars I have seen here that have color swaps.

byza213 · 09-24-2009, 04:21 PM

still a nice car , i like that rear spoiler
