Default FL: Built Toyota MR2 Turbo

Looking to sell or trade my MR2 for a 350Z, preferably 07-08. I can add cash on my end if needed. The car now sits on the TE37's, NOT the 16" Work Equips. The motor was built about 20k miles ago and the brakes, shocks, and fluid were done this month. The title is clean and in-hand.

Call or text 954-330-4991 located in Southeast Florida

$11,000

$9000 without TE37 wheels

You can subtract $500 if you don't want the V3 MegaSquirt (will be replaced with V2 MegaSquirt).

Also have the following optional upgrades for more $$:
Authentic Recaro SRD seats - $1000 ($1500+ retail)
Authentic Kei Office front bumper (very rare) - $750 ($1200 retail, if you can find one)
100% brand new GT3071R dual ball bearing turbo (not installed) - $1000 ($1400 retail)

The car is well taken care of, all maintenance is up to date, and oil changes are done about every 1200 miles.

The car started out as an NA MR2 hardtop. This is the lightest chassis of them all (26XXlbs) with manual everything. (manual locks, windows, and mirrors). Also no power-steering or ABS for a more direct road feel.
The chassis has about 200k miles, but pretty much everything has been swapped out.
It's been my daily for a while now and has never let me down.

The pros:
It's running on a gen3 Frankenstein motor (3sgte bottom, 3sge head/manifold). It has the benefit of a fully built bottom end able to handle high boost, and a high flowing head able to rev to 8k RPM. It's paired with a 93 NA MR2 transmission.
The car makes 500+whp at 25+psi. I do drive the car almost daily so it's currently running at 14lbs on 93 and makes 320whp/270wtq. Tires hook in all gears. Tuned by Kenny Sampson in South Florida.
It can be run on E85 (I have tuned map for it that can be switched over, makes about 30whp/wtq more at the same psi). For those who are weary, everything from the fuel tank, to the pump, to the lines and injectors are all alcohol friendly.

The cons (most, if not all will be fixed if I keep the car long enough):
Some parts of the car do show wear, such as interior plastic parts)
The previous owner of the car had the AC converted to R134a, which IMO isn't a good idea. The AC works, but isn't as cold as it should be. I suspect a dying compressor (could be related to the conversion).
Previous owner also bypassed heater core (heater core lines seem to be damaged)
Minor oil leak from one of the oil lines. Does not drip.

Also here's a picture of a previous build, an Acura RSX. Just to show that I'm really passionate about modding my cars and nothing is half-assed
