Mr2 MK3 Resoration
Discussion
Guys,
I thought id nip onto this section.
Im mid way through a complete restoration on my 1996 MR2 GTS.
The car has been battered and abused but in the best way possible. We have tracked it, driven it hard, crashed it having a drifting contest and generally done all the things you liek to watch in movies but know your bank balance wont allow.
So now its only fair i pay back some of the love my MR2 has given with a full top to bottom strip down and restore.
Ill add a few pics here and there.
The car was originally white, standard Mr2 colour. Now being resprayed in Ford RS White.
Border Body Kit.
Engine is 330hp - never skips a beat, serviced way more often than it should be, in fact other than front end cosmetics, she is in perfect working order.
Work commenced Monday this week.

Mate i have no idea. Nor do i care, when it comes to the mechanical side i leave that to few well placed friends. Needless to say they work wonders, I have just set aside 5k for the engine upgrades. Apparently should see in the region of 500 / 550. bare in mind, labour will be free. I know how heated the arguments get on these forums about claimed horse power. Not what i intend this thread to be about. Purely asthetics.
No worries. I'm more into the mechanicals of these things, trait of the job and only reason i asked. Definitely not one for headline horsepower myself.
You'll need a fully built engine to hit those figures but definitely do-able. I have a built engine here, putting out 300 on 7psi with an upgraded turbo, should get similarly interesting when it's all settled and we start upping the boost. Wouldn't mind seeing how your friends go about it if you can get a hold of that too. Cheers.
