[Mk2] [Generic] MR2ONLY FEATURE == LOOKING FOR SOMETHING "SPECIAL"

Post by mark_a_thorpe »

Hey guys, I'm currently on the hurt for a 2 for a feature in mr2only magazine.

Something rather special, cosmetically speaking this time.

I've seen quite a few gorgeous looking non-standard cars on here, but thought I'd ask you guys which one's you think are a bit "special"!

Any links to threads, profiles, pics etc would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Aeroware front lip
Toms side skirts
Toms Rear bumper with UK size plate
Rev5 spoiler
Clear corner conversion
De-tobleroned and clear side repeaters
Lexus IS200 wheels and spacers
Colour coded rear grill (by maybe removing that this weekend)
Colour coded headlamp surrounds

Stainless exhaust
Upgraded the interior to Alacantra

Lockys96 i command you to sell me that rear spoiler !! :evil:

have you ever thought about changing that dinosaur T88 for a GT4088r or even GT4094r ??? i would imagine you would see a rather big improvement in spool in the 4088 and poss more power just due to it not being 'a dinosaur'! lol -after all the T88 is a 700-850 RWHP intended turbo!

well that spoiler certainly isnt lightweight!! :wink: Good choice with the gt3582r, will work nicely with that setup. you should see a good 600RWHP on C-16 with that turbo at higher boost! pretty much like every other 2.2 gt35r 3sgte does :P hence why i am following the trend!

Was that the Pheonix Demo car that was on that ebay that had the front splitter or what ever it was stolen when it was on the ship on its way over here?

I wanted it but Insurance would have been way too much for me with all them mods ](*,) . Its a Very nice car :)
