Very clean

... I like it.

ToyotaTechGeek · 09-29-2005, 12:25 PM

looks clean, but i'm not too sold on white wheels...even with that big damned lip!

StockSolara · 09-29-2005, 12:30 PM

Very nice. . . the only thing I don't like is the tail lights. . . but overall very nice car

It's N/A!

Piddy · 09-29-2005, 03:52 PM

Okay.... upon further inspection.... some things are kinda wacky.

The tail lights aren't really my style... but whatever. The exhaust.... wow.... I don't know where to start at with the exhaust. ITS HUGE!!!!! The fact that it could be NA makes the exhaust even more scary. I'm praying it's an NA swap.

Too each their own.

From the front it looks

... especially that first picture. The rear is a little wacky though.

to follow suit, i also 'found' the link and i think it is a bit ricey. the Tom's scoop is not functional and that huge arse wing! and i'm not too sure what to think about the sideskirts...

The scoop is functional if you count blowing air on the filter functional.

Yeah, its N/A, but the owner is going to Japan for military reasons. And when he comes back he'll be bringing a Stage3 engine home.

oh really? have any empirical fact/data on that?!?!?

Since almost all of the air enters in from UNDER the engine bay.... all a TOM's scoop really does is screw up the airflow. Stage 3 engine???? Mad tyte y0...

Well.....all I can say is that it's clean and shiny. I've always liked that fornt bumper, but the shogun kit HAS to go. That's the ugliest, most gawdy kit for an mkII in my opinion. Listen to them about the Tom's scoop. It DOES disrupt the "natural" airflow to the engine, unless of course you completely enclose the intake and hook it up to the scoop. Not a fan of the tail lights. Lastly, the spoiler.....OMG! The entire car has a big rice vibe, tooo Fast n Furious for my taste.

I'm not to "up" with MR2 tech talk... did I saw something wrong? I'm not saying its a GranTurismo Stage III engine and turbo mod up. This is something like a JDM motor the MR2 MKII had in later years...?

vtsuckah · 09-30-2005, 09:14 AM

it's refered to as "generation _"

ToyotaTechGeek · 09-30-2005, 09:29 AM

in Toyota-speak, it's Mk (pronounced 'mark') for chassis and generation for the engine.

SpeedballTrix · 09-30-2005, 01:12 PM

Stage 3 kinda looks like 3S-GTE.
Maybe you mean "3S-GTE"?
Im fairly certain that's what you mean =P

Anywho, the car definately isn't my taste, but the build quality is good.
