September 2007 MR2 Showcase

[MR2Showcase]

Congratulations to DANNO - MR2Board's September 2007 Showcase MR2!
1991 Turbo MR2 T-Top

Click the below thumbnails for fullsize pictures:

Most people buy an MR2 with dreams of building the perfect car in mind. DANNO managed to skip one major step, he recently purchased an already modified car from another MR2 community member, Kevin. Dan was lucky enough to find a car that, in his mind, was nearly perfect. He calls it "the nicest MR2 he's ever seen." A Bomex and Greddy compilation sprayed in a fresh Lexus Millenium Silver gives this Mister Two a seriously agressive stance on the street.

With under 95,000 original miles, DANNO's MR2 looks the part, but given its full modification treatment, it's really hard to believe that this car's life has just begun. Having dynoed 282 hp and 269 ft-lbs on 17 psi, this MR2 doesn't only look good, but being able to run 13.3 seconds at 107 mph, this MR2 can hold its own at the track.

Again a car with nearly too many modifications to list, DANNO's '91 Turbo is one of those cars that MR2 owners strive to imitate.

Happy MR2ing Dan
