Bought a new car a couple of weeks ago, a REV3 MR2 GT-Turbo T bar.

only got a couple of the pictures that the previous owner took, but will get some pics of my own on over the weekend.

The only thing that is different is that I have the toyota seats in there now.







Mods incude:
Exterior;
Clear front indicators and sidelights
Genuine Veilside Skirts
Genuine TOMS rear Spoiler
Rogue rear spars
Lexus Lights (Not that keen on these, and on the hunt for some toyota rev3 lights)
17inch BORBET light weight rims

Suspension;
Lowered (cant remember make of springs)
Factory Blisteins
Uprated anti roll bars and all mounts/bushes

Brakes;
Drilled and gooved discs
Uprated pads
Braided brake lines


Engine:
Blitz Filter
Blitz BOV
Auzzie decat
Haywood & Scott Custom exhaust
Uprated leads and plugs
Painted Strut brace
Samco hoses (blue)



Really love it, its fantastic to drive, the engine is really smooth and the power delivery is lovely. I wasnt too sure about the bodywork mods, but the car was in such fantastic condition I couldnt pass it up. I really like the skirts, spoiler and wheels, i think they suit the car well. However I dont like the "Lexus style" lights, they will be going once I get a toyota set.

Previous owner had it dynoed at 242hp at the hubs.

Future mods will be:

Apexi AVCR boost controller
Uprated intercooler and fan

All comments welcome.

Nice and clean, and I like the fact you will be removing those horrible 'Lexus' lights. Nice one!

Yeah, not a fan. But the rest of the car was in such good condition I had to just ignore the lights for the moment smile

That looks really nice for a body-kitted car, not 100% sold on the spoiler or the lexus lights, but they're minor complaints, looks very clean otherwise!

can you get clear side indicators for them? Thats the only thing I think I'd alter

Nice car dude! Looks very clean! If you dont mind me asking, where did you get side skirts and how much were they?

Nice colour, the front end looks so much better with the clears.

Nice & clean, apart from the rear lights, as you say, & the Veilside skirts look odd on their own in my opinion. I remember seeing this when it had the Veilside nose, an IMOC members car, so should be well looked after.
The Toms rear spoiler looks good though, & quite rare too.

If you are going to fit a fan give serious thought to the Rogue Motorsport twin fan that fits inside the engine cover, seriously good, proven to reduce oil temp as well as air temp.

I'm a massive fan of these - really enjoyed the various '2's i've had over the years - nice choice! If it were me I'd ditch the body kit and lights, and change the wheels - get some rays.
