i was wondering if someone could post some of the pictures i have of my friends mr2. it is the old body style and naturall aspirated, with some MAJOR body modifications. my friend as his dad went monster garage on this thing and tried to turn it into some kinda indy car. for an "amature" product it is very good. if someone could post the pics for me i think it would be cool.

My friend and his dad made this. The motor is stock for now, and the rear end is not quite done. It is lighter than stock, so it accelerates well. They are also going to put an actuator on the wing so that it flips up when you brake. Pick whichever pictures you want to. I am curious what that other members think of it, so ask them to post there opinions. Thanks.

but back on topic...why? is it gonna be in the midget racer circuit?

MR-355-5sfTe · 07-11-2005, 10:43 PM

well.... it obviously took some skill to fashion that front end... and I love th headlights, thinking of making some like that for mine. it just looks a little too tall and is a bit too short length-wise for my taste... be sure to post some pics when it's completed

***MR2Jedi*** · 07-12-2005, 12:13 AM

I thought it was complete?

MR-355-5sfTe · 07-12-2005, 12:17 AM

he said in a previous post " the rear is not quite done".... but he could've meant prior to the posting of the pictures?

80toy · 07-12-2005, 09:12 AM

the rear end is not done yet, they are not sure if they are going to just put up some sheetmetal to cover the engine or make a new trunk for it since they cut the other one off.

they made it just for the hell of it, his dad saw the monster garage shows and felt like doing something. he happened to get an mr2 really cheap and figured he might as well have some fun with it. i really like the headlights and the open fenders that turn with the wheels. it has some really cool little trick stuff on it, like an adjustable front wing.

just wanted to see what you guys though.

thanks mr2bad

forgot, headlamps are from a 3000gt.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHA they made a dune buggy. THAT thing is hilarious looking. Why on earth would someone do that to an mr2??? Now a civic on the other hand.... by all means do whatever the h%ll you want, no one really cares since it's a civic. Props for the bodywork skills, but jebus, why??
