Custom widebody MR2 turbo

Joshma is giving out rides in his recently finished MR2 turbo.
(Not my car, I just filmed it.)

YouTube's crappy algo detects the 720p video as HQ instead of HD, so head over to Vimeo for 720p quality: http://www.vimeo.com/3539479

is that hood supposed to create down force?

[johnwooNL]

@turbogetsyoulaid Yes, the radiator is tilted so that air flows through it, out the hood and over the car, rather than underneath it. It makes a noticeable difference on the light-nose MR2, esp. at higher speeds the car is more stable.

The Border aero kit (one of the best-known bodykits for the SW20) offered the same thing (radiator relocation + vented hood) as an option, for the same reason, but most people didn't bother and just got the bumpers+skirts...

OMG that peice of shit is fuckin RICE!!!..stop and quit racing or better yet quit your life cuhz that is fukin RICE!!!..your a disgrace to all the mr2 owners!!..

@grexpinoy4life Whether you like the looks is a matter of taste, but it's not rice as all aero is functional (the vented hood for radiator airflow, the grille in the rear bumper houses the huge intercooler, the holes round the wheel arches for less air drag inside the wheel wells).

This car is an exercise in performance engineering, looks are subordinate. Function > form.

Oh and it's not my car btw, I just filmed it. My own MR2 turbo is stock-bodied (and way slower than this one).

I love MR2's this one is SICK!!

[martijntalma]

@jasongibbon i think those head lights are from a coupe fiat (yes i spelled it correct)

@grexpinoy4life By your comment you have no idea about the history of the MR2, This kit is very close to the kit made by and used in the Japan GT500 series. The kit is based on the TRD 2000GT one of 35 cars made my Toyota with factory HP rating of 490+ HP. Read up on auto's before you make comments on shit you have no idea about , just my OP

[jasongibbon]

what headlights are those? they look like 3000gt but slightly different!
