Oh Dear

I can think of better ways of improving this car when spending a claimed $18000!

Nice engine, I can't really get excited about the exterior though!

The VIN indicates it's an AW15

Are all US cars like that then? I thought AW11 was a global designation.

Yeh....decent airflow through the IC / engine cover would be the first port of call, especially considering the tuning...!

Would also like to know what compression ratio he's running......

Bizarre mod for the air filter...got to clap the amount of work.

Is that the early 1500cc model though?

I would pay $18,000 to have the air scoops removed. Should get rid of any disruption they cause to the airflow through the engine.

Take off the blue graphics and the pink doorcards and that would be a nice car!!

Fair play to him tho, it does look in mint condition.. just his styling taste is a little .. erm.. rubbish

[slinky]

i can understand why they replace or re-cover the seat, been looking at some american ones and they are simply awfull.

love the way fresh cold air is sucked in, heated by the turbo, then heated further by the unvented interboiler.

Personal Taste I know, each to their own etc,

Plenty of work has been put in.
Fair play to the seller

[chrismanchr]

Wheels are a bit spangly, paint job a bit '90's ford - really loathe modifying for the sake of adding nonsense onto things with no real purpose. Why not just stick an mk2 lump in and be real original

Am I right in thinking the US market had a 20-valve version? I don't know much about it, but perhaps this is the AW15?

As far as I know the 20Valve was always an engine conversion, altho with those americans nothign would surprise me.

am 99.9% sure there was never a 20valve mr23 tho

The 20valve was only in the Corolla/Levin. Never in an MR2.

thats as I thought Lauren, altho there have been some obscure combinations of car that have come from the states so theres always that 0.1% chance they may have done something different.
