Sadly the time has come for me to sell my pride and joy
She's been a labour of love and literally no expense has been spared on her
Only the best mods and highly respected mr2 specialists have worked on her, Rogue motorsports carried out the 3sgte conversion, Peter SBits forged her and YVS Performance transformed her into the beastie she is now
She's the best mr2 I've owned and has been steadily modified into the stealthy high power mr2 turbo she is today.
She purrs at low speeds, but has the power to drive and handle like a totally different beastie when revved!Recently I spent a lot of time and money buying a lot of high quality parts from GeorgeL together with other parts Id bought and drove her to YVS, so that I could have the following fitted:-
- New Recon sBits Alternator(2 year guarantee)
Genuine Garrett GT3582R(750hp rated)
TTE WRC Group A Corolla Manifold(as rare as rocking horse poo - worth £1k alone!)
TIAL Wastegate with brand new diaphragm and seal
3" ID Dowpipe and Full 3" Exhaust system.
Screamer pipe set up(also a work of art and has a Flexi section in it also)
HKS fuel Rail with HKS 1000c injectors,
Aeromotive FPR with all new Goodrich fuel hoses,
Simon Hicks spare gearbox with TRD Plate LSD,
OS Giken Twin Plate R2CD Clutch& Flywheel Package with new ARP
Flywheel Bolts
Chico Raceworks UPrated CV Joints
Brand new Motec M4 pro ECU(flat shift, anti lag etc)
Brand New Edelbrock Mustang 75mm Throttle Body
Custom Inlet TB
Brand New Custom Piping to New Boot Mount intercooler with 11" spal fans,
Aquamist HFS/2 WI system
New Koni's, refurb'd rebuildable struts, new rubber gaitors, new topmounts
and refurb'd calipers!
Blue anodised Forge Dump valve
My plan was for a high powered but streetable mr2 with stealth looks
Enhanced by the Genuine Greddy sideskirts, and JDM Bridgestone wheels shod in near new Toyo rubber
After having the above mammoth works completed at YVS Performance, she was driven to Adrian
@ Fensport to map her and asked for her to remain streetable as she was going to be my daily driver, but could still put a huge smile on my face when pressing the loud pedalThe result was what Adrian set as maximum boost of 2.1 Bar boost and in his experienced opinion, my 2 was producing 550 hp.
To say I was ecstatic was an understatement, as she drives great.Sadly, since I drove her back from YVS Performance, Ive barely driven 500 miles or so.
Changes in my wife's working hours meant I now work opposite my wife so we can share childcare Now I don't get any time to drive her.
....,,so she's sat on my drive. I just wash and wax her and she's covered to protect her from the elementsHere's my build thread:

Ive spent nearly
£18k inc buying her back lol, but I never thought I'd be selling hence sparing no expense, but thats lifeIt's just a shame for her to sit and not be enjoyed, so she's reluctantly up for sale as Im thinking of buying a VW Camper for the family
Please note, I dont have to sell her and im in no rush to sell her.
She's up for sale at
£9,500 onoSadly these cars are worth more in parts, but if there's no genuine interest
, i'll either keep her in a lock up or consider breaking her in the Summer Cheers Julian
