Bought: Nov, 2007
I have been working on this car since the fall of 07. I am always looking for a way to make this car even better. I will continue to be my project car until I run out of ideas on how I am going to make this car better
I would like to say a special thanks to my dad, for all his help. As well as all the people that have supported me on this project. For being just my FRIST ever project car, I am very happy with the way it turned out so far.
I don't know how much has been inversted into this car, all I know is it is alot. I have put most of the work and modifications into this car myself. There where some modifications that the previous owner installed in which i am still using in the current setup. I still am going to put more into this car and one day make it into one of the most unquie mrk1 mr2 ever seen.
I purchased this car $1700 in fall of 07. I a great deal on it, because it had a blown motor. I replaced the motor and the transmisson with a JDM 4A GZE engine.
The car currently has 191,XXX km (119 miles) on a flawless body.
The car is an original supercharged car and the swap was not hard to do.
When I bought the car it had very little rust on it. There was only some bubbling on the driver side rear fender. I had that fixed professional in May 08. Otherwise the car was mint with no record of any accidents or damage. I am going to mold to body kit this year.
I have removed the factory AC system to lighten out the car. The new JDM engine didn't come with an AC compresser and lines so I disgarded the system. The AC condencer was busted when I got the car so that was the main reason for the removal. I have take out the heating system because I will be driving this car during the summer and I don't need the extra weight.
I estimate on the current setup that I am running close to 200HP, but I am not total sure until I dyno the car.
I have been getting a lot of talk from people about where I got the air scoop from. Well I might as well tell you that I got them striat form ebay USA. I don't remember the dealers name, but they where based out of California.
My futurer plans for this car is to make it into twincharged (Turbo/Supercharger) mr2. I am going to have to save up for the build because it not going to come cheap.
For this year (09) I am planning to fully re-do the the suspention and add a new exterior part to it. Some more guages would be nice too, but it is all up in the air what I want to do. Everyone will find out at the end of the year where she will be at.
I have always admired these cars for their style and their under rated power.
I am currently part of the BC MR2 CLUB, which is a group of mr2 enthusists.
I replaced the stock front and rear end and installed the f1 body kit (front and rear) with factory side skirts. Also in picture is my brothers 87 camaro.

This is the new JDM 4a gze engine that I just put in and looking nice (June 09).
