Default 1986 Toyota MR2

this is my 86 Toyota MR2 N/A when i was in Kingston, Ontario. I drove there and back from Richmond, Va in less than 22 hours. not much to look at but she will go like a bat out of hell in the corners. i was passing faster cars in the turns but of course they had me in the straight. oh well, enjoy...

(this was taken on the first turn after the straight)

i have a SC engine(4A-GZE) from a SC 88 MR2 i wrecked a couple of years ago. i have a bigger pulley and some other goodies that will be going on it. i just need to get the time to finish the swap.

i replaced all the bushing with urethane(i will never do that again, at least not on a 20 year old car), ST Lowering springs(1.5 inche drop), KYB Struts, heavyduty rear tierods, new ball joints, slotted/crossdrilled rotors, ceramic brakes and oldskool BBS wheels off a BMW. last thing i need to get is braided brake lines. i forgot to order it when i put everything on and never got around to ordering. it will get done when i finish the swap.

i bought them that way. i got them from a guy using them as drift wheels for $100 with shitty tires on them. i think i got a ok deal on them. they fit on my car perfect. the offset was perfect. i just needed to get the lug holes drilled out because my car has lug nuts and BMW uses lug bolts. i need to strip them and get them powder coated.
