The car is a 1992 Toyota MR2 Turbo T-Top.

Everything on the car was over-built from the beginning with the goal of a reliable 400+whp daily-driver/occasionally track driven. The only thing needed to achieve this goal is a standalone ECU, upgraded turbo (for 300whp+), and larger fuel injectors.

The comment I always get referring to the car is “clean”. No gaudy
aftermarket wings, bumpers, side skirts, or mirrors. With the larger wheels, a wider and lower stance, the car looks sexy and mean without screaming “pull me over” or “look at me”, but those who know cars have given me many compliments. The car handles wonderfully, perfect for track days or carving up a canyon road, and it’s comfortable enough to be daily driven or on long road trips with its relatively good trunk space. The car sounds deep and sporty but does not drone inside the cabin or attract unwanted attention. Pretty much everything that breaks or gets old on the car has been replaced, it's pretty much a brand new car. I really hate to let my MR go when it’s so close to completion, I would definitely finish it if I had the time or a ‘practical’ daily-driver.

Let me know if you decide to change your mind- my car is no longer my daily driver and now it just sits in the garage except for weekends etc. I am looking for a track car- have a huge list of things done to my car and folders of records if your interested.
