2 жыл бұрынTake a 1991 MR2 and sprinkle it with a 2GR-FE V6 and the outcome is probably one of the most awesome cars I have reviewed to date.

This engine is awesome, I brought my brother an 06 Avalon, one of the very first cars with a 2GR and by God, it is so damn torquey that 90 mph was no sweat.

Very cool car! It’s quite exotic tbh. At 4:59, 5:38, and 7:00 that sound kinda reminds me of the humming tone from a v12 lamborghini 🤔. Pretty crazy to compare it to that I know but it is half it’s size 🤷🏼♂️

It sounded amazing in person. And when I saw the footage from the rearward facing camera and heard the audio I was amazed at how great it sounded on camera as well. It's hit or mis sometimes, but this one came out better than I could ever expect!

Personally I prefer the older square tail lights. seems better fit for the time these cars came out. the extractor hood is functionally awesome but I have yet to see one done on an MR2 I think looks like it "could" have come from factory. I own a 91T and its my pride and joy. Its the 5th mr2 I've had and I swear I want to be buried in it. "Activating" LoL good word use. MR2's certainly do tend to Activate people. =D
@TheDutchTexan 2 жыл бұрын
Really? That’s interesting! I don’t mind them, but I just love the look of the 94’s which is going to be a problem if I am ever in a position to get one of my own, just like the 2GR swap for that matter (got another dream of a classic American car that needs to happen first).

According to the battery gauge in the middle of your cluster that was never a 2 l turbocharger engine that was a 2.2 l naturally aspirated... But still cool car
@launcebennett563 2 жыл бұрын
The cluster was swapped out. Trust me, it’s an original 91 Turbo Hardtop. Made more sense to swap in the NA cluster due to not having boost. Functional gauge vs. nonfunctional gauge.

@The Dutch Texan my apologies, but with the na cluster, no fog lights or center console, it screams na. Doesn't make a difference with what he's done with it. It's an awesome build. That's the best part of these cars it doesn't matter how it starts it's life, it's what you can do with them! I have a 93 hardtop that started as base as they come but will be built into a similar monster, so does it really matter how they started out?
