The build that's older than beyond is almost done

[Redlyne_mr2]

So here is the car Ive been building for over 1/2 a decade. Pretty much restored the car from the ground up, a lot of the parts were almost impossible to find. BPM photo will be taking some prof pics but here is an attempt at some of mine.
Special thanks to Dan & Dave @ Screamin Paintworks, Nick & Will @ Speedtech, Rob & Paul @ project omega speedworks, Kyle @ Red Deer Toyota, Paul @ Lexus of Calgary and all my peeps from the ABMR2OC. They been as dedicated to this project as I have and have gone the extra mile to help me get shit together. The car is still not yet done, need to detail and finish the interior but its close.

Beautiful car...

I was going to say something about he hood lines, but I understand why now.

[legendboy]

Glad to see its finally wrapping up for ya!

[sh0ko]

good work buddy.. really... !

redlyne's mr2 ftw!

:hitit:

[Ekliptix]

OG Unit in this thread :rofl:

[jvillain]

Glad to see you got it out of the garage and rolling. This car does look better in person than it does in the pictures. I know how long you have been working on this and how much you have put into it. Take your time getting used to it. Hopefully we will see you around the track at some point.

Good job. Enjoy driving it.

[jdmakkord]

Looks great man!!! Thank god you kept it clean, and steered away from the widebody kits that everyone else has done! LHD ftmfw

[dj_Twin_turbo]

Wow, it looks like someone dipped deep into the eBay parts bin to build this thing :thumbsdow :whocares:

Thank you for painting your CF. Makes the car look a million times better than leaving it black.

[DepTrotter]

What the.. Why would you do this? Isn't this kind of dangerous (i.e. mud get flung up, birds getting splattered...)? Love the wheels... :drool: Not digging the body kit. With all that stuff, I hope you actually take your car to the track (and not just 1/4). :D

saves weight

[nismodrifter]

I still remember the OG thread on abcars when you posted about the night you got cut off/something like that and the car went airborne and the whole build began. Was it a green cavalier?? Shiet, I was in grade 10 or 11 at the time haha.

Total pimpness!

[clem24]

Umm.. there's a difference between saving weight and compromising safety (and essential features). I can't think of any race cars, aside from Nascar and open wheel, that have no wipers.

[schurchill39]

So he really does have an MR2? Nice build man!

hahaha dude your concern is appreciated ... thats what rainx is for. I never even get a chance to drive the car anyways and it looks much cleaner without wipers. It's not a 1/4 mile car it will be all roadcourse,, dont want anymore than 350whp once everything is completely finished.

Nismodrifter your memory is crazy... thats totally the story except for it it was a green sunfire not cavalier.

:nut: Dude you're crazy..! RainX is good. I use that stuff. But it only works if you're going at least 80km/h. In hairpins, mud, insects, gophers... RainX gets rid of none of that. Without wipers looks cleaner... That's getting into ricer talk! :D The ricer single wiper mod is already bad enough, but you take it to a whole new level! :nut: I personally think wipers look good on cars. Cars without wipers = weird.

[stealth]

Looks really good man.

Our cars look almost the same, except mine is black with the 91 wing. Greddy Kit sets it off nice.

[jvillain]

I do beleive wipers are required by the provincial hiway act.

[mo_money2supe]

Didn't you tell me some 2 months ago that this car was ready to hit the roads in about 2 weeks? :D Glad to see it's *almost* finally done now. Can't wait to see it on the track though!

and redlyne POST MORE PICS

looks sick :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :eek: :eek:

[l/l/rX]

so exactly what parts were rare on this car? and why did it take soo long to build this thing? nothing exterior, looks entirely too too rare except for i guess the custom c/f pieces that had to be made...

im guessing its mostly the engine parts that were rare?

btw...nice gullwing doors on that yota beside your car. haha

[Hakkola]

One question remains... Did you paint it for $50? ;)

[Zephyr]

wow! :thumbsup: not many clean mr2s these days..we use to have a lot here

authentic bodykits are tough to come by, usually not stocked in north america which means it comes from japan. Cf rear wing is one of only a few in the world. Madpsi hood is super super hard to come by, cf headlight covers are super rare and not made anymore, Kei office coilovers arent made anymore for this car, only set in NA, as far as I know. Project mu brakes, again one of the only sets in NA took 7 months to get. Cusco sway bars are straight from japan, took 6 months. JIC carbon strut bar took 4 months to come in, Cusco cage special order from Japan, took 11 months, havent seen another 2 in NA with this cage. MR2 oem mats are discontinued.. paid double what I should have. Blitz turbo kit is one of only a few in NA. TRD japan tranny parts took 6 months to arrive, not sure if anyone else is using these. The blitz boost controller is somewhat easy to come by but no one else seems to use it. Samco hose kit took 6 months... Those bomex side mirrors are no longer made.. very very rare.
The thing is the mr2 is old enough now that all these performance parts are becoming discontinued.. sucks

hahaha HOLY SHIT okay you got me there...i thought you got your cf parts made by riceeater er whoever that guy is that makes those cf parts on beyond, cuz i saw you had interest in a few things.

but, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, you really did put alot of time and effort into this car.

well congrats dood, it looks WICKED!
