I miss my 92 mr2 I also had this exact widebody on mine. Same color and everything. It was possibly the best car I've ever owned.
what happened to it?
Sold it and went into the military.
ive rarely met anyone whos was glad to get rid of their MR2, its always "I miss it" "I had one and regret selling it" I believe it too, the guy I bought mine from actually called me back to see if he can buy it back, sadly for him I said no.
Just to update this car came to Larsen Autoworks on Longisland, we installed a upgraded side mount intercooler with metal piping, tune up, catless downpipe and shifter boot trim. Was a really cool car and fun to drive!
IMO, the TRD MR2 kit, whether its for a stock MR2 or a MR2 that already has the kit equipped just makes the MR2 look a heck of a lot nicer. 😆🤩
10 Real TRD kits were shipped to USA in 1998. I have one of those. They did not include the metal firewall plaque but I was able to buy a unmarked one from Japan.
Would love to know more about your 2000GT! Without the plaque my understanding is that it is the kit, but not installed by Toyota Technocraft, is that correct? In those cases how do you verify the panels to be authentic? I have read to look for Toyota on the underside of the panels but I have no idea if they actually say Toyota anywhere, can you confirm that?
toyota really knew how to make fun compact sports cars back in the day, really the only recent one is the 86 but that has a silly boxer engine
classic cars all the way
Why Toyota ever thought to take an amazing design like the 86 and put a boxer engine in it let alone A NATURALLY ASPIRATED one blows my mind.... I know they couldn't go crazy and put the new supra motor in it or the Camry's v6 but they could have put a turbo version of the last celica gts 4 cylinder, the 2ZZ-GE which already made 190hp N/A. they could have done some amazing things with it but their partnership with subaru is what forced them into using the boxer SHITE. lol.
@@SupraRy This is just plain disrespectful to how good the engine is and how perfectly balanced the 86 is. A true Toyota fan wouldn't dare to spew such ignorance, upon the 86
Fuck off with mocking the engine especial FA24 in the new one is just pure perfection and closest thing to replace the void left by 3S-GE. Subie done great on it wtih Toyota. I only which they made it a liftback coupe like Celica then it would be pure perfection and be practical af just like Celicas were while keeping everything else intact
It looks so happy with the headlights up :D
Amazing style and proportions. I've only ever seen pictures of the widebody. Thanks for this!
im such a nerd for these cars, the trd 2000gt is such a cool kit!
Wow that's a beauty! First gen MR2 will always be one of my favorite cars. Hope to buy one as a project someday!
Buy the 89 SC that's on pacificcoastjdm right now. You won't regret it one bit. I have an 89 N/A US spec and it's an absolute go-kart.
would love to have one in lhd :s one of the best body kits out there without a doubt..mini rari
Missing the front covers, radiator cover and spare tires covers.
"this is replaced, this is original...... this is 90's" lmao
Thanks derek!! for showing me cars i never knew existed :D
Amazing car! Would love to see some more auction walk arounds!
WHO BOUGHT THIS???
I'll pay double!
^ seems legit. Smh
Dude the time you posted this comment, these cars where cheaper than a used camry.
PM me I got it available
Great video, Good review of this particular car. Gotta love those auction sheets.
I don't believe that black-painted intercooler will work better. Mine non-painted cools the air to +1C warmer than atmosphere at 1.5bar of boost.
But adding a film of paint will improve the thermal isolation of cooler and it won't give bigger flow of heat through itself.
The Omori gauges - just awesome!
knew its a mr2, stares at the opened hood, no engine....ohhh i almost forgot lol
Beautiful, my second favourite Toyota!
That looks like a real trd 2000gt mr2 to me, those I'd plates only come on the genuine factory trd cars, very similar to the trd 3000gt supra Id plate
FINALLY AN MR2!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking at that 89 Supercharged that's up right now. I have an 89 N/A right now and I work at the biggest MR2 shop in the US. I want BOOST.
I like the Greddy body kit better. Makes these look like a slim ferrari 355
All TRD kits have issues fitting them, some more than others, your fuel flap ... It at least fits into the gap, not very well it does appear.... but at least yours fits in, it took me 3 days to redesign the fuel flap on the TRD kit I'm building, ..but my hat goes off to anyone who gets this kit on and it doesn't look like a complete bag of spanners, ...
this what i didn't need to see! i'm torn between a 93 mr2 turbo black on black or a Ducati monster s2r 800.. makes me really miss my old 91 sw20
Mmm I can see this one sporting a Bomex Drift wing (reworked tho), a set of Sparco Crimson NS-II (white face, polished lip) and a Fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust.
Oh 94' where are you. I hope they are taking care of you.

I don't get any of this

Hi Derek. Thanks for this video! You mentioned that you don't believe that this is an authentic TRD2000GT conversion (#3). Do you have any information on how to determine their authenticity? I was not aware of "knock-off" TRD plates, so I am beginning to question the authenticity of several TRD2000GTs that I'm aware of. (Including #5 that the international MR2 community is buzzing about)
I also made a video about #5 and I don't want to spread misinformation.
Thanks so much!
I also want to know more on this! Need to confirm my 3000GT and information on these vehicles is surprisingly very vague on many details
GT2, brings memories...
Wow I love this maybe put wider tires and rims😍
What did this car end up selling for at auction?
How can I buy a car and send it to California?
Any drift lover here? Im from Malaysia Sarawak,
It's so pretty
Gnarly, dude! Excellent!
What does something like this cost? 8k USD?
Did you wash the car or was the paint just quite messed up? (I know I’m late)
Sweet😊
How can I buy this car?
PERFECTION !!!!
es una belleza!!!!!😍
Engineering Explained
The Toyota MR-2 TRD 2000GT makes me think of the Mitsubishi 3000GT SL.
Lose the spoiler, put some racing suspension on it and add a rear diffuser. That's how I would like it
would look terrible without a spoiler
for someone 6`2 would it fit or it would be too cramped in the stock/aftermarket seat?
ChRiS00107 I'm 6'2 and I find this car roomy compared to my FD and FC
thx man, i should try one out for size before considering buying one
I'm 6'1 and I fit in my AW11 just fine, and I fit in customers' SW20's just fine, too. Plenty of room for such a tiny car.
wow thats awesome didnt knew they were that roomy even with the stock seat, ive heard read that above 6´ its cramped, good news then
6'3 and I love both my mr2s original seats
cant find one
This is the only one I have ever seen at auction.
@@PacificCoastAuto I have it available

@@nono_jdm7753 Rhode Island. It’s literally this exact car.
you have a fucking awesome job !~
wow! i want like that!
mid engined means it will brake terribly. all the weight is over the rear tires. itll corner like hell though
Mid engines have more weight behind the centre point of the vehicle. By braking, it shifts the weight distribution forward. Compared to a front engined car, you get better weight distribution between the front and rear tires, thus giving you more grip. You also get better acceleration because more of the weight is on the rear tires.
^this, I never understood why people think mid engine brakes, or handles poorly, yeah well formula F1 cars brake the best and corner sharply and they aren't front engine front wheel drive like buukro's civic, just saying.
The kit and wing remind me of a shrinky-dink'd Mitsubishi 3000GT
what is century 21 doing there?
The same thing they do in every country... try to take over the world.
No TRD cluster :(
why did you not buy it for yourself?
If only I were rich enough to have a fun sports car. Nope, Minivan for me. Maybe some day. I should start a Go-fund-me.
I dont understand why the nsx gets so much love, but MR2's such little.
Ikr
completely different classes of car. NSX is a cutting edge supercar, mr2 is a sensibly priced mid engined sports car that looks a bit like a Ferrari
Ki - Free Beats not entirely true, the fact is when these cars were made Toyota made around 20,000 of them vs the very little thousands Honda made, you also gotta remember that in 93 this was Ferrari/supra/NSX killer on a drag strip and on the track. I hope this helped on why they’re cheap and really worth it today!
rear is looks nice.. front is looks :(
The fitment is not really good and looks a bit silly. Needs some spacers.
Flush fitment requires rock hard springs. When I see kids driving with flush wheels, I can only think of slipped disks in their spines by 40.
Spacers are garbage. It needs wheels with a lower offset.
Have this same car for sale rn comment and I’ll send email etc
Flip flop the lamps of mr 2...
OFMG!!!!!
For once i thought it was a ferrari
I for one don’t like the wide body style. It takes away the sleek design and turned it into a bloated looking.
Not a fan of widebody MR2's. I think it looks pretty shitty.
So much snap oversteer.
The test of a good driver.
mhm, or a dead driver..more often;p..they say it has a tendency to snap/lift off oversteer and you'd better choose the right speed while cornering without braking (or especially hard braking and then excessively accelerating), otherwise you might end somewhere off the road luckily dead;..and i don't think you know all the corners..unless you're on a track..so as a track car it's a good car with a good weight distribution, but in real life (wet, dirty, sandy roads and unknown corners) it's a killer car/a black widow or smth..but i guess it's alike most Porsches and other rear/mid engine cars (with an exception of NSX which was probably the most friendly one from mid-engined cars, maybe due to longer wheel base, or being NA, or smth else, later generation mr2 w30 also were low-powered NA and had slightly longer wheel base, so they weren't so frightening like turboed w20)..so it's either you drive it like a pussy, or brave..and dead:D..so you have to be a good driver to drive a car like this on its' limits, cause mistakes are unappreciated and unforgivable..though i've never driven a rear/mid-engined car, so i have none experience..only what i've seen or heard:/..as for looks - if i were up to 25yo (remembering myself), i'd say this one looks better/cooler than a stock one, but now when i'm 35 i'd choose a stock one..only..without a single doubt..this has too much of plastic..eeww;)
Firsttt
The MR2 designers spent countless hours sculpting the sleek look and now you ruined it with that ugly body kit.
Do you think the MR2 designer had a say in the official Toyota TRD race car version. I would guess yes. The stock MR2 looks awesome. This version looks better in my opinion.
I also prefer the stock look, however; the TRD2000GT "kit" was designed by Toyota Technocraft to celebrate a record-breaking JGTC series of wins in 1998. Here is more info, if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/5BVhLE-JlQk/v-deo.html
Hmm, not a fan of that kit, looks very dated imo
I dislike bodykits as well, but this is one that's actually done right compared to the fake trd kits I see in USA. still prefer a stock look with a low profile lip but I'm old school lol.
