1990 Toyota mr2 (JDM) Turbo - Trak Turtle’s Photo Gallery
Thanks to the sea of knowledge on this forum, your patience guys & willingness to help all the time that I figured out a lot of stuff around the car that I'd take years to accomplish here

Coz I've had to import everything from a tune up bolt & upwards, its been a slow but loving tune up & finally time to say FO to my boss & plan a mega trip with wife & 2! I'm told my car has fairly low miles on it, so far it seems so but I can't wait to put it through a few days on the highway & see how she responds

Will post some engine pics tomorrow

Here's Rein & my sweet JDM 3sgte & thx again guys!

(I know the spoler's missing, but I'm ok with it for now)

muffinman · 07-23-2009, 04:29 PM

Beautiful car.

What are the wheels off of?

Trak Turtle · 07-23-2009, 04:37 PM

Thx Muffin

they are Toyota Camry, don't know which year though, the previous owner never gave me enough info on anything... they came in from Thailand

masagsxr · 07-23-2009, 04:38 PM

Wow.. White wall on the outside.. i like it.... Nice car.

Trak Turtle · 07-23-2009, 04:50 PM

Thx Masagsxr, Rein & took a year to do the house, it had pigeons nesting when we bought it a year ago

grizzy225 · 07-23-2009, 04:56 PM

very very nice car, i do like the tires they look aggressive

Trak Turtle · 07-23-2009, 05:03 PM

Hey thanks Grizzy!

David · 07-23-2009, 05:05 PM

More pics of those fog lights please!

Great looking car. And btw, you should get a gen 5 wing, since you already have the holes filled.

Trak Turtle · 07-23-2009, 05:15 PM

Thx David

I'll post some tomorrow, ... they belong to a Suzuki SWIFT.. I thought they looked good & a steal compared to the OEM price except that they needed some filing/cutting & I ruined one in the process

You're right about the spoiler... I really want to do the trip & then get to it... the front lip needs a little work too ... so the font & rear tips need attention

goopi · 07-23-2009, 05:16 PM

beautiful

, enjoy it man

Trak Turtle · 07-24-2009, 07:18 AM

Thx goopi.
Here's a few fog fotos muffin -

mr2magic · 07-24-2009, 08:28 AM

Oooooh shiny

Sweet looking car but if I may comment......get some bigger rims and low profile tires

But thats just me

grizzy225 · 07-24-2009, 10:15 AM

yeah but if he does that then he'll be like every other duece... needs to be different, in this case different works... lovely

Trak Turtle · 07-26-2009, 10:07 AM

Thx Magic, roads around here can throw some serious pot holes at you & any lower profile can prove dangerous. With Tein coilovers installed, I really need some cushion on the tyres

autopsycho · 07-27-2009, 02:47 AM

Goodstuff dude! The MR2 is lookin supersweet! Get a new gearknob too while your'e at it

RandomHero · 07-27-2009, 03:01 AM

whats with the flat black on the trunk lid and on the door panel?

what shift knob is that? i like it

sweet car. those rims are dope

Trak Turtle · 07-27-2009, 04:21 AM

Hey Psycho, thanks & thx for showing me the way bro, its been great

Thx Random, the flat black is a tape used around here for carving numbers for number plates digitally.
I got myself a 15 X 4 ft roll to last me a few decades

J.Harris · 08-01-2009, 02:14 AM

I don't like low profiles sometimes. With your wheel setup your car is definitely hot! I love it man, nice find!

Trak Turtle · 08-03-2009, 02:14 PM

Thanks Harris, glad you like it.

For the comfort they give me, its been great so far & they don't handle too bad either

Trak Turtle · 08-23-2009, 01:00 PM

A new Momo Commando with NRG hub + quick release, Razo shifter knob, Oil change & we were off on a 800km trip to the city of Ajmer in Rajasthan. There was some football & cricket matches my friends organised in their ex school, Mayo.

Besides the rain storm we went through on our way back + all the cramps & body aches from 2 days of games, the ride was perfect.

The rain leaked in parts & drops through the top & I'm ordering new strips through Aaron. The car ran like a dream, I got a taste of how far & easily the car can stretch its legs... can't wait to get on the next ride again guys

Here's a few pics of the car, will post some trip's fotos wiith clearer interior pics later
