Insane Custom Built Car
Check this out guys, I think some of you hard core tuners would find this an interesting read. A member of C7 who used to own a Boosted GT-S built his own car from pretty much scratch. The post is a lil long, but well worth the read and has tones of pics. He had to get his own VIN and the car is classified as a home built car, not a Toyota/Honda or whatever.
http://forums.c7performance.com/show...t=11979&page=1 War must have money to burn, but he gets full marks from me for originality cause that car looks sick and is gonna be crazy fast. |
why couldn't he just register it as a MR2 Spyder. that's exactly what it is
|
He can't because he actually widened and modified the frame of the car to fit his wide body kit as well as the hood to fit the 2ZZ-GE (00-05 Celica GT-S motor) and his turbo and exhaust setup.
The basic sub-frame was from an MR2 Spyder, but the entire car from the modified frame to wiring to suspension to powertrain to interior and exterior panels is all custom. |
that is one hell of a job. i'd still perfer the older MR2 personally, but that thing will be a track monster!
|
wow thats crazy amount of work and time...:eek:
shouldnt the mr2 engine have more power/torgue and potential then a celica engine? to me that sounds like droppin in a R engine into a NSX :confused: |
^not on the MR-S, it's alot smaller, lighter car than the celica, so they put a more powerful motor into the celica GTS. that motor drops into the MR2 spyder and from what i hear, is quick as fock once you do it.

^^ Cause the cars not complete, im sure when he gets it back from the paint shop he will adjust the suspention.
|
holy S**t
|
