Sideways mr2 driven by Russian with broken leg IS BACK! [MR2 GTS, W201]

[Tanel]

Few things done.
Lowered boost to 20psi, still fast enough
New indikator and parking lights, also switched the wires on the plug. Now the bigger part of the light is parking light so i can use them as day lights and smaller is indicator.
Painted the bumper, but gonna redo it.
Got the popup lights to work properly too, and put the tuning lights with HID's in them.
Aligned the trunk and engine cover.
New radio, and few other things.

Also sold my e34 525tdsA so now i can buy and do few things.

Still havent decided what wheels to use for stance. Cheaper way would be shooters but to get them fit properly i need coilovers, but cant aford decent set at the moment.
Fittipaldis are too narrow, would like them atleast 10 inch wide in rear, that means i need to mod the fenders coz these fuckers are "unredrillable" (made new word i guess )

For start im try to make racing look, Fittis with 205/40, 215/40 ,cutting coils a bit (not going lowww) and make them fit as good as i can with adapters+ spacers when needed.

props to you good sir. Your last one was a beaut so I have high hopes for this one good luck to you!

[Tanel]

Thank's guy's.

Yea 30psi is way too much. Boost gauge is electric, i hope it lies.
I'm trying my friends gauge as soon as i can.

I graduated yesterday, now i've got time to work on the car.

[lublub]

I love mr2's. If your new one is anything like your old one then this will be good...

[Thom]

Im suprised 30psi hasnt popped the motor yet............................


I love these things. Glad your restoring/making it cool dude!

[244Brick]

Dang 30psi! wow!

[sleeps]

A small update.. Unfortunately, its a slow build.
Garage needs alot of things and work too.

And she's home.. Drive to the garage was fun, this thing is FAST!


Took the front end apart and realised that its pointless to save that bumper. Need to order a used one in the future. Almost all the bolt's broke, need luck getting the remains out


Whole bumper was pretty much in 3 pieces, only remains of duct tape held it together.
So, zip tied it.



Did some metal work with the front panel, but forgot to take pic's.
Overall, body is in pretty good shape, no serious damages.

Few new parts.


Plan is to get it on road as soon as possible. (make it little better to look at, new fluids,winter tires and overall maintenance)
Then i can take it to bodyshop, just gonna paint the new fender and headlight cover(??).
Get ecu mapped in live, 30psi at the moment seems a bit too much

Then i can think about stance

Next update in few days..

Nice to see another mr2 on here!

You should try those Fittipaldis on her. I've fitted 17x9.5's in the rear of my girlfriends SW with et15 and didn't need any pull, only a roll. There is a lot more room back there than one may think.

Yeah, def putting Fittis on her. We'll see how wide i cant go. Could you send pic's of the fitment?

Thanks guy's!

And now the wheels.
Adapters and Shooters from the previous car, and new wheels

Adapters 5x114,3 to 5x120 15mm and 20mm


Shooters 16x8.5/9.5


And Fittipaldis in really good condition, 17x8 ET32.
Want to make rear's wide, but according to my calculations i cant go wider than 9,25 without fender pull. Even 9,25 will poke about 7mm more than shooters did.
We'll see what testfit tells


2 days till garage...
