    Default SW20 MR2

    Jan 27, 2013

    A few months a ago my motor threw a rod bearing. I decieded then to to a rebuild. Currently running on 8psi. Motor just hit 200 miles. First week back on the road the turbo went bad on me. It was smoking really bad. Thought I did something, but that wasn't the case. Replaced it another ct 26 off an MR2 with 25k miles.

    2012





    2013
    Currently on 8psi for now.




    Nothing too crazy, bored .50 over, 264 HKS cams, 11lbs fw, ARP...etc
    Stock rebuild really.

    Not a fan of the spoilerless look, but love none the less!

    White one looks so much better, but the black one does look good....even though it is in a matte/flat. And I personally think it looks great minus the spoiler. Gives it a different look. Later, QD.

    Thanks. The white one was a fun little project. Had it for only two years. I wanted to sell it because I didn't want to deal with the rust

    I'm really digging the way it looks sans spoiler.

    Personally, I feel the black one could benefit from being raised a little. The fact that the engine lid is still red would bother me. The car is a blast to drive I'm sure.

    98 spec wing is rice. if you don't stay wingless, go 94+ wing or get the tom's lip spoiler.

    Needs more bling................. car looks good, but with a real paint job and polished wheels it would be a panty dropper.

    Needs a wing too.

    I will stay wingless for now. Getting a Carbon fiber trunk. Also looking for some 17s, the 215/35R18 is too thin.

    I really like the black one. Not having a spoiler does a lot of good for the car

    Diggin' it!! I like the gauge placement, too. Are those stock seats? I have MK1 seats in mine and I'm in hatred with them.

    The car originally came with leather. I replaced them with these two weeks ago because the leather one was all torn up.
