The Build

1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo

A passion project spanning over ten years, this MR2 sports a newer JDM 3S-GTE motor offering 320hp at the crank. It was featured on The Smoking Tire and it wears a very long list of thoughtful upgrades that all work together to make this a well-rounded performer. While the chassis may have accumulated some miles, the car has been completely gone through with the suspension and brand new transmission having seen just a few thousand miles. This is one of the nicest builds we have seen in recent years and we hope it finds a good home in our community.
