My SW20 MR2 Turbo

[Midshipracer]

Long time lurker, thought i might put my car up on here seeing the amount of nice cars on here and the amount of work i put in mine

Well my MR2 love affair started in '06 with a NA after finishing uni. Ran that for 2 years, then as you do you have the turbo itch, so got this in '08





Pretty nice i thought with goodies like the wheels and boost controller already installed.

After a full service to set my mine at ease, i put this body kit on. Normally i think the SW20 looks good on its own but this kit only say 3 people i know have it and it looks imo stealth At this point i only had the front and sides of the bodykit







Anyway fast-wards to '10 i found the back on ebay as a fixer-her-upper and the later spec rear spoiler so a jumped on it

so from this



to




Just last week my mate and i finish installed my finishing touch to the outside. The revision 6 light conversion.
I have always thought the pop-up lights on the SW20 came up too high spoiling the look of the car, coupled with they are crap at their job so here is the finish product. Complete with HID (in projector lens)



Anyway thanks for reading - here is my current fav picture my mate took

Is that a NOS bottle I see in the garage?

[Chunkychucky]

Nice, looks really cool - as you say, stealth! You say it has a boost controller, are you running much above standard?

[aidan8888]

So, are they as lethal as some owners would have me believe?

Would look 100x better with no rear spoiler! Lovely car though

The only people who say its lethal are drivers who come from FWD cars and drive it as if it was FWD

Loverly car. Black cars always look superb when nice and clean.

Love the do-luck kit, car looks stunning.

Prefer it with the combat spoiler but have you tried tracking down the do-luck spoiler?

I can run it at 1.2bar but i dont really really run much above stock of 0.9bar. Only on special occasion do i stretch her legs

I love the Do-Luck spoiler too mate but each piece of do-luck kit is £800+ hehe. The Rev 5 spoiler came up at a good price and was in black already

Very nice! Not normally a fan of body kits, but some jap cars with the more expensive kits can look quite good

Very nice... Never sure of the Toms scoops. I quite like the NSX style scoops... They look way 'odder' if you know what I mean. Had a black tubby myself in black.

Must not have seen the "rated" thread

[Blue Meanie]

Seemingly not...

• heads off to find said thread

Very very nice mate, I like the attention to detail on that.

Cheers guys for warm comments, Um forgotten who said it would look better without the rear spoiler. I seen MR2 without the spoiler they look naked to me :P plus they are need for downforce
