Squiggy's 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder

[squiggy]

What the hell...why not start a build thread?

Some of you know me well enough to know I can't leave a vehicle stock.

Bought the car off of a friend.

Single owner.

Just under 13k miles.

Custom leather seats.

Never seen snow and has been kept in a heated garage.



Already ordered an intake (car needs some grunt), a short (throw) shifter kit, and plan on tinting the windows in the next week or so.

Light weight wheels and high performance tires will be coming in the Spring.

Crazy to think there were only about 28,000 produced for the USDM.

where the poop have you been at???

I have removed the spare and most of the plastic in the "frunk" and will most likely be removing the "diaper".

Still on the fence about various heat shields.

Pretty interesting learning about the nuances of a new car.

I wouldn’t drive it. Too nice.

It is quite fun to drive...not quite fast enough though.

Sad but true

It’s crazy there were only 28k produced. I feel like when they first came out I saw quite a few of them.

Got any suspension plans?

A k swap is so much work...but I do have one sitting around.

Got any suspension plans?

I still need to do some more research, but, so far, I have read they don't respond well to lowering.

 

[squiggy]

Wheel color suggestions?

Go!

Bronze

Your member title implies this is the worst possible suggestion...even moreso than gold BBS wheels on a blue WRX.
