Gen3MR2

So I would like to share my story with everyone and this is where it started.

The FRS wasn't my first love, yeah I know right?
Seven years ago I bought my first car at 17, a 1993 Toyota MR2 non-turbo with around 140k miles on it. That story can be found in the mr2oc.com link HERE

So I purchased my 2013 Hot Lava FRS on September 10, 2014 used with 20k miles. This car was to become my daily driver and CS autox car. The MR2 was to be retired for autox and will be come my track day car this coming season.

Videos of the MR2 and the FRS can be found on my YouTube page HERE

As for adding more about what I will be doing to the FRS and MR2 this winter, my plan is to upload videos on my YouTube page of the "CS FRS Build" and "MR2 Preventive Maintenance, Track Season Prep"

Until then!!

Well I have done some suspension work to this car, you can find everything on youtube. I have made attempts to document it as best I can. Also I attended the FRS first dyno day yesterday. Not to shabby for just a Perrin 2.5" resonated Cat-back.

Direct to the dyno sheet.

174 Hp / 144 Tq
