Boost is no longer just a dream....

[©hris]

Everyone on here knows the punishment i put myself through trying to decide on what to do with my civic. Boosting my car is not a cost effective way to gain a decent amount of HP for the price i would have to pay. Going with a K20 swap is definatly out of my price range and I would be an idiot to spend $7000 on my car to get 200whp..... sooooo.....


In two weeks im picking up a new toy. You all may recognize this car. It belongs to a fellow BYT member. Tank pretty much came to me with an offer i can't refuse. I know how much this car means to Tank and to me this car is like a dream come true.... It still has a long ways to go. Thank you so much tank!!

I was think wheels in this particular style... not necessarily these rims but similer... 5 spoke and staggered

are you on crack? boost the most cost effective way to get power.... you are not going to get ANY power for free...

not really sure what rims yet. i definatly want staggered rims for sure. Do NOT want black w/ polished lip.... way to many white cars with that look lol

and im keeping the civic btw

yeah Edlee did the wrapping. just went to joanns and bought 2 yards of fabric and while i was installing my subs and amp i got he wrapped up my interior for me.... did a REALLY good job too. I'll take some picts when i get home tonight

[Bruce Leroy]

Oh yeah... Tora motorsports is the place to go if you have questions about mr2's. They work on them all day.

[©hris]

i'll prob end up taking it there... gotta wait until they get moved first. I tried calling them but goes straight to answering machine.

The only thing that needs to be done is Exhaust and Wiring harness needs to be hooked up.

[Fr33way]

What kind of power levels are you shooting for?

[©hris]

not really sure.... was thinking im only going to run 12lbs. The N/A body is lighter than the Turbo version of the MR2 but i don't know how much lighter. I definatly want polish all of the piping and add some CF Engine scoops from Border that are real low profile. CF Hood and "Trunk" painted champ white to match the car, Black suede Recaros w/ Takata harnesses, Suede Door panels and arm rest.... wonder if there is a glass roof conversion for this.

Now I thought you didn't want to spend any money? Now your just gone and picked up a new money pit :thinking:

[Alan®]

congrats i was actually looking to buy it but backed out let me know what it costs you to finish it

[justwongit]

oh wow phoenix power front bumper.. not my choice but thats alot of $$$$ and rare too. and its a sunroof.. haha better than a ttop.. and what 3sgte is it? usdm or jdm and what gen 2nd or 3rd? and you should post more pics up and check out www.mr2.com and the have rim specials on the forum right now. so check it out.

[RUFFIAN]
