Turbo off and sold. Lip kit fully installed. Big wing installed, swaybars installed.. working on flat floor, front splitter and rear diffuser.. lots happening behind the scenes.
after driving both I can assure you the MR2 is like 80% of an elise but WAY more comfortable and roomy. Hard roof is well worth for rigidity. As is front strut bar. all other stiffening is BS. A torsen is also a great upgrade :D
See, this is reassuring. With my mods (wheels/tires, Coilovers, upper strut braces, sway bars, front member brace, weight savings), the car should theoretically handle similarly, if not better than a stock elise/exige, and with a turbo or swap of some sort, have as much or more power as well. The only thing lacking is the looks which is subjective, but with the TRD lip kit, I think it looks pretty damn good. As for bracing, my mindset is If i've got it, why not do it, considering I don't have a hard top as of yet.
many. full TRD replica body kit, big wing and aluminum pylons I designed, intake mainfold, throttle body and headers/exhaust modificaitons, prepping for a 2zr sway with prius 13:1cr pistons and e85.. and new black soft top.
