Yea but that's too hard. Would rather start from a car that's already certified road legal and has all the electronic gizmos needed to run, and has body panels of some sort. The MR2 is perfect like I said, because it has mid engine configuration so the aero can be pretty good with some tweaks, and it's really light to start with. You know, one day I might just do this 6 speed 1NR-FE thing, give it some super beefed up rods and make the 2ZZ's revs look low.

My level of lazy is worse than what most people think when I tell them I'm lazy.
