1993 Mr2 Turbo built, custom, volks,red, BEAUTIFUL!!
PLEASE ONLY SEND QUESTIONS TO MY EMAIL AS I HAVE CAR LISTED SEVERAL PLACES & I AM BUSY SO MY EMAIL IS THE BEST CHANCE OF REACHING ME. Tc5953@yahoo.com
(Original Turbo NOT a swap)
This is truly gorgeous and amazing car it turns heads and gets compliments everywhere I go!
The background story:
I bought the car in almost completely stock form (just had some rims and a cheap stereo) and I turned it into what you see now. I have only put approximately 700-800 miles max on it since the transformation.
I have two reasons why I am selling the car.
1: My driving style doesn’t really fit as well with the mid engine platform.
2: I could use the money for my new business.
About the beast:
The car is quick, real quick as it sits. It has a very safe 91 octane tune on it by the infamous Courtney Green. When I had it tuned I told Courtney I wanted the safest possible tune and that is what he gave me, I don’t even have the cam gears degreed at all, they are still set at “0”. (never had a race gas or e85 or any other tune), car has never seen more than wastegate spring pressure (about 14psi). Needless to say the car has A LOT left in it if you decide to make it quicker (the engine was built to handle a lot more power than I am currently running but I didn’t want to push it and compromise reliability). My goal wasn’t the fastest car out there, my real goal for the car was something that was great in the corners, comfortable to drive, made me feel good driving it, and looked good getting me there, with the ability to throw me back in the seat when I wanted it, and I believe that is exactly what I have accomplished. Don’t get me wrong the car is still fast at it’s current level, faster than most of the cars out on the street, but I didn’t build it to be just a drag strip queen. it has honestly and truly never been raced by me since I have owned it (I just got the engine broken in).
In the last six months I have done almost a complete rebuild of every mechanical & cosmetic & just about every other thing you can think of, I have pulled and completely built the motor (2.2 stroker, upgraded turbo, fuel system etc), Complete engine management system, removed all of the interior and swapped all of it to black interior from original tan (I like the look a lot better), custom seats (probably the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in), custom stereo, custom lighting, all new suspension (ball joints, tie rods coilovers etc.) brake upgrades, trans upgrade, rims and tires etc etc etc…… below I have included a list of some of the mods that I can remember (there is a lot more than this but when you do a project like this you can never remember everything).
Condition:
Interior condition I would rate: 9.5/10 (there is no interior that is perfect)
Exterior condition I would rate: 8.0 to 8.5/10 Paint isn’t perfect but is in pretty damn good condition for the age.
The car runs great and drives great & has no known issues that I am aware of.
As you know these cars are getting harder and harder to find (especially in this condition and it being a 93 which is one of the last years they were produced).
It would be stupid for me to say there is not another nicer Mr2 out there… But I will say that this car is one of the nicest I have seen. In my opinion I have only seen one nicer in person and I don’t think he is ever going to sell it.
