Car Plans: Revisited.
Well, I'm sure some of us have changed plans for our cars since the last thread about this (I posted when I first joined.) I know mine have changed drastically.
I will not be building up the current MR2. I will either a) keep it and save for a mr2 turbo or b) sell it and buy a beater. The beater I want is a friend's car but his parents might be giving him a Civic for graduation. It's a Mazda 323 (lol) and I would get it for like $500. I would strip that car out and get it sub-2000lbs.
All this is in effort to save for an MR2 Turbo. Preferably 93+.
-1993 MR2 Turbo
- Black
- Black Volk GTN wheels (front: 17x7, rear: 17x9)
- Mods to get ~300rwhp. I found a site that had a nice mod-path for doing this but I'll probably just end up asking fellow MR2 drivers for advice.
- More saving for widebody kit
Then I will hopefully be able to restrain myself and have a nice, streetable car. :] Not sure what color the car would be once it went widebody; thinking Silver.
Let's see your plans foos.

Plans:
1) get exhaust fixed (clogged passenger cat).
2) get spare upper and lower Cobra intake polished or extrude honed.
3) slap on slicks and hit 11s naturally aspirated.
4) save up for bail.

i was thinking about selling it but changed my mind since one dude backed out of the offer
before i leave for the army in 2 weeks im probably going to try and deal with some of the rust spots on my car and shit and when i get back prep the car for painting and then get someone to paint it
lot of things id like to do but there is no aftermarket at all for this car but i just cant bear my self to part with it
