FS/FT: 1991 Black MR2 Turbo
Hi folks!
...been a little while since I've been on here as I took a departure into Toyotas a few years back. Up for trade/sale is a rust-free, adult owned, rare, fully built 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo w/ a clean, clear blue Texas title in my name & current tags. I expect the same in return from whomever I trade with. Currently the car is getting a new aluminum racing radiator so that'll obviously come w/ the car too. I just didn't put it in the parts list due to it not physically being in the car as of this posting. I absolutely love this car but it honestly has more power than I think a middle-aged man as myself has any business driving around with and I know my wife would feel more comfortable in something a little more sane as well. With that said, you can see the next thing as either good or bad... It accelerates very violently and loudly and I absolutely love it but it honestly scares the living **** out of me too! :lol: Imagine a car about as fast as a C6 Z06 or GTR w/ good tires but w/o all the nannies and relying mostly on driver skill. Don't get me wrong, the car has a TREMENDOUS amount of grip, inspires confidence and will absolutely defy physics and will reward you the more skilled you are as a driver. Most folks will run out of guts before it runs out of grip but once it does these cars can be very unforgiving so whomever buys it will need to be mature enough to understand that. Anyway, there is my disclaimer if you'd like to consider it one. With that said, I feel like I've taken the necessary steps in order to tune-out a lot of the MR2 chassis' "bad tendencies" that they're infamous for and made it manageable & pleasureable w/o having to work too hard for it. I DD, autocross and travel long distances w/ it quite a bit and it has never NOT given me a big huge smile on my face everytime I put it through its paces. Ok, I'm talking myself out of doing this already... :lol:

THE GOODIES...
***Bottom end*** (bored .20 over)
-Wiseco forged Pistons
-Eagle Rods w/ ARP hardware
-ARP head studs
-ACL rod race bearings
-ACL main bearings
-Cometic headgasket
-brand new water pump
-brand new oil pump
***Head work***
-GSC 268 cams
-ATS Racing valve springs
-ATS Racing MLS head gasket
-ATS Racing Phenolic spacer
***Turbo kit/Exhaust***
-ATS Racing adjustable billet cam gears
-ATS Racing Throttle Body inlet
-ATS Racing EGR Block-off plates
-Turbonetics T3/T04E 50trim w/ Stage-5 wheel
-38mm WG
-HKS SSQV BOV
-aftermarket 3" DP
-ATS Racing IC kit w/ body shroud & 9" Maradyne puller fan
-4" Intake w/ K&N filter
-3" mid-pipe to 3" Y-pipe
***Engine Management/monitoring***
-Apexi Power FC standalone EMU w/ EL hand commander (I received the last, brand new one shipped to the states for the MR2)
-PLX DM-6 touchscreen Multi-Gauge (AFR gauge)
-Mechanical boost gauge (glow ****... I mean "shift".
)
-electronic boost controller (low boost 370whp, high boost 465+whp)
***Fuel mods***
-Aeromotive FPR
-ATS Racing Top feed fuel rail
-ATS Racing ID1200 top feed injectors
-E85 compliant fuel lines
-Walboro 255LPH fuel pump
***Drivetrain***
-E153 LSD transmission (these things are juggernauts and handle A TON of power stock)
-ACT sprung 6-puck clutch w/ HD pressure plate
-Turbo axles
-ATS Racing Chromoly axle cages (stock cages are weakest link of the driveline, these will handle over 700+whp, probably more. Axles will snap before the cages give out)
***Wheels/Tires***

***Suspension/Brakes***
-Tokico 5-way adjustable struts
-H&R springs
-Twos-R-US sway bar reinforcement plates
-Complete Energy Suspension bushing kit (all bushings on the car have been replaced)
-Kirk-o-Saurus Rear engine mount poly inserts
-Slotted, front rotors
-Porterfield performance brake pads (street/auto-x compound)
I'm sure there are other things I'm probably leaving out but these are all the things that come to mind atm.
The Bad:
-It's a 1991 model so will have some of the paint chips & dents that are common on a 25yr. old car.
-Currently has no A/C or Stereo as I built this car to be a very fast DD that was light as possible but those items can easily be added back into the car if you want them.
*I personally like listening to the sound of a monster turbo engine spooling right behind my head instead of a stereo anyway.
-windshield has a long crack in it so will need to be replaced
Alright, I think that's about it. I've recently been thinking about getting back into a nice Honda (S2k, S2k CR, Integra Type-R or a NSX or anything else that nice that maybe I haven't thought of) so, curious to see what's out there. Also, I will also entertain selling as well. Price is $20,000 obo. Here are some pics of her...
