I personally think that widebody would be silly on a stock powertrain. Buuut if you're gonna do it, at least color-match the fenders to your body. Hot Lava is so sexy!

No longer planning on keeping it stock powertrain, AVO Turbo kit going on as soon as they release it. Also, holding off on the widebody kit for now. Looking for power and even better handling first.

There ya go! BTW, how much power is that GT35R MR2 making? I'm going to be building a 1900cc 20v turbo motor for my MK1; planning to make a super-responsive 300whp in a year or two. Going to use a GTX2863R

Alright everyone, I could use a little help. I am torn between three turbo kits right now.

1.) Accelerated Performances-they are the originators and masters at what they do.

2.) P&L Motorsports - Such a complete and beautiful kit offering nothing but the latest and greatest. V-bands all round make that kit very appealing, but also a tad expensive.

3.) AVO - Sure to produce that boxer rumble and spool the quickest. Its price is hard to beat but will it have the latest and greatest turbo? No V-Band

What are all your thoughts?

Awesome job with your car!! Too bad I haven't seen you driving it on the road yet. How are you liking the Visconti Tune and where did you get it done? By the way, you said on your first post that you wanted to keep the factory warranty, doesn't that void it? Or are you just going all out now because I see your contemplating on a turbo too haha.

I was really tempted to get the the Invidia N1 as well, but I'm starting to lean more towards the Perrin header-back system. What do you think about the N1?

Thanks! You should come out to the wednesday night meets and friday night meets! Wednesday at Flamingo and Durango, Friday at the In-n-Out off sahara.

I haven't received my Visconti Tune yet because he is swamped and I have been out of town on business, but I will be sure to update the page with an update/review when I get it. I have decided to go all out on this car and say eff the warranty.

I haven't received the N1 yet either since it just came out, but I was instantly drawn to it based off PRICE and sound. It sounds amazing! I will make it a turbo back once the turbo goes on.


Thanks for checking out my page!

I live in Las Vegas and these shots were taken at the lookout point of Mt. Charleston about 30 minutes outside Vegas.

I've been wanting to but I haven't found the time to come by yet. Hopefully in a week or two when my schedule clears ups.

Can't wait until you get that tune done! Really interested on what you'll think about it.

How soon do you think you'll be installing that turbo? You might be the first one in Vegas to have one haha.

Well I hope to see you out there one night man.

I'm really excited too, he shipped my tune this wknd so I should have it flashed this week

I would like to hold the title as the first in Las Vegas but it all depends on how fast I can sell my MR2.
