SOLD PENDING PAYMENT

1990 SW20 MR2 Turbo w/Targa Roof (5SPD, White) -

This car has been my weekend fun for about 4 years, but I’m regrettably selling it to add to a house deposit. Mechanically this car is extremely solid and reliable – I purchased it just after the previous owner had the engine completely rebuilt (MR2 specialist IDB Automotive). Since then I’ve replaced and upgraded numerous components. The chassis has done ~315k, but all of the running gear is pretty much new.

It’s mildly tuned on 10/14psi, but has the potential to make a lot more power. All of the supporting mods have a high ceiling, and with a proper ECU you’ll probably find the limits of the current turbo.

It’s great fun to drive, pretty decent on petrol, and doesn’t draw much attention from the police. (If they looked hard enough there’s sure to be something, but all of the major stuff is completely roadworthy – passed a Regency Inspection when I bought it)

Dual stage boost controller (Boost Tee + Solenoid, in-cabin switch)
KO Racing 3” Downpipe – Ceramic Coated w/support bracket
Custom B-pipe with 4” High-Flow Catalytic Converter
Fujitsubo Legalis R Muffler (silent at idle, but decent sound at revs)

Denso TT Supra Fuel Pump (290Lph)
Water Injection Kit from Cooling Mist (Boot mounted tank, very subtle install)
Aftermarket side-mount Intercooler Kit (generic brand)
Logpro intake and high flow filter

Suspension/Driveline:
GenIII Turbo Gearbox w/LSD – all synchros fine
Eibach lowered springs – sitting at lowest legal ride height
Whiteline Sway bars w/ DeltaV reinforcement plates
Polyurethane Bushes all round

Comes with unopened 20L Nulon 10W30 Drum to suit 3SGTE

Shortcomings:
No spare wheel/tyre – never had one
Body and interior is in fair condition. No significant issues or damage, but up close it does show it’s age.
No cold start injector – was not compatible with the fuel rail upgrade. Usually takes a couple of seconds longer to start in colder weather, but always does.
Current alarm system is problematic, so is disabled. Will throw in a replacement that I never got around to installing.

Will come with 3 months Rego.
Asking price is negotiable, but I’m not in any rush to get rid of it. Would appreciate it going to a proper enthusiast, who will pick up where I left off.
Any questions welcome. Will respond to texts during work hours, but may not be able to answer all calls.

I also have some other upgrade parts (brakes, intercooler, etc) that might be of interest. Not included, but could be negotiated.
