I saw this car at the Qld Nationals, and it certainly deserved the People's Choice award.
Fantastic car, amazing paint job, and an absolute credit to it's owner.

The paint job is amazing. Just wondering, how much did it cost for the respray? Obviously it'd cost more incl. the paint-stripping labour,etc. but just as a rough ball-park idea.

I really like how your's turned out, and in the future hope for a very similar paint job or maybe even a closed door respray back to OEM yellow (makes me sad how Google images yellow 2s are so shiny meanwhile mine is matte as)

3K for paint alone + 2.5K for painter + hi fill and prep did myself 1.5K = $7k rough idea

One of the best looking mr2's out there! Glad you ended up choosing to keep a clean 'stock' look for the body, it looks perfect I wouldn't change a thing.
I certainly have a lot of work left on mine before it even gets close to this level!

Thanks Buddy, it all takes time and money but worth it at the end.

Hi Eddie,
 
I'll add my name to the list of the impressed.  I also saw your car at the Nationals in Qld.  Very nice.
 
Any goss on what you did to the engine to keep it "stock" ;)    Curious to know what sort of turbo you went with and what you had done to the ECU?   I've been reading a bit on the ATS Racing website about the ATS ROM ECU tuneup?
 
Cheers

Re built bottom end and head completely stock bolted on a equivalent GSR turbo, performance clutch, apexi intake, doubled the core A to A intercooler, Halltech ECU and Armour motorsport tune "Magic" 13 sec 1/4 mile all day.

Fast Eddie
 


Re bolted on a equivalent GSR turbo, 

Is that the lancer GSR turbo? and from which year? just curious what advantage there was running this over a 20B?
 
I see some of the later generation EVO turbos have some good spec's from their twin scroll turbos but it would take quite an interestingly designed adapter plate to adapt it to the factory 3S manifold.

Sorry its a equivalent 20B from GCG turbos

Ah ok, I thought you were onto something for a min ;-)
