My 2002 Widebody Fast & Furious MR2 Spyder Project car
Discussion
Hi everyone,
I’m Alex from Northern Ireland and here is my 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder.
It was running an Honda K20 turbo till I blew it up and decided to completely re-do my engine and do the things I didn’t had a chance to do before.
I’m currently waiting delivery of my JDM K24A as replacement. Will be a non turbo engine with less power but that doesn’t matter at the moment.
Instead I’m spending the turbo money on other things.
Picture:
Old engine bay pic:
New exhaust idea:

One of the changes I made compare to my previous engine is that I’m using the Honda shifter now instead of Toyota shifter system and an adaptor. Hopefully this will make the car more fun to drive.
Also Wheel fitment should be resolved after the winter and lowering the car as well.
Spoiler Will move from trunk to chassis.
And a lot of other things!

So here are the little changes I have been doing today, yes they may not be major but it all makes a difference
K-Tuned Shifter with custom US Import shifter cables and base plate to fit my car
Test fit the new custom shifter bracket and purple washers around the gearbox

Shame that you’re not going boosted again. I would imagine that was an absolute rocket with a K20 Turbo in it.
It was definitely fun haha but I should be able to get 270hp with the k24 in NA and bit of weight loss so hopefully fun to drive.May save up for a supercharger later
Depending on how you look at it the mk3 mr-s is the least desirable but potentially the best sports car , in Japan and the US prices have been going mental as people realise they are such a cracking little platform
There's barely anything that doesn't cost 5X as much that fits the M.R 2 layout , building a K20 Elise is likely to be a £20K+ event these days!
