plans have changed now, not going to forged the engine if i dont have to, might do cam gears and shafts if i can't find anything better to spend my money on... hehe, just bought 10,000k hids for my fog lights, i had piaa globes in there and one blew and it was gonna cost about $160 for a new set so i went to hids for $90, and i got a slim kicker sub to complete the stereo. heres a few pics

i am but not yet, u will blind any oncoming traffic without projector headlights, im going to get a set soon, u can get a set from the US for about $70, and i got them for my driving lights because one of them blew and they cost $160 a set to replace so hids were cheaper.

Nice car. I see lots of potential

Not feeling the steering wheel though & I'm no fan of the Wolf. My humble suggestions (ie what I would do).....

Appearance:
Colour match the black stripes (ie paint red)
94 lip
94 tail lights
Lower it
Add 5-10mm spacer to the rear (rears will be closer to flush)
Change steering wheel

Engine:
800cc injectors
Bored fuel rail
Eliminate TVIS
Enlarge the TB
264 cams & matching valvesprings (change to a metal HG too if you can with head studs)
EBC
Upgrade the IC fan (looks like yours is stock)

Get it tuned by someone in the know (max around 16-18psi) & she'll be sweet. Don't be too aggressive & the stock internals will hold up.

i dont really like the later model tail lights (square ones). i got brand new ones from toyota and got brand new side stips aswell..lol. i do like the steering wheel even though i didnt buy it but it does grow on you, it does match the gear knob, i was going for cusco coilovers but my driveway is killer and scrape if i dont hit it right, and this car has the best handeing ive ever seen from stock, im taking it to matt spry at pits on the goldy he has done a few mr2s and if anyone does know him hes the man you see.
as for the engine i might go all out, not really short on cash but i just want to enjoy it, we will see after the tune, and my little bro is looking at getting a STi with 300ATW KW so i might have to keep up with him..haha

Let me guess the P plater piece of crap was a metallic green/turquise one. Never seen your mr2 getting around which part of the coast are you from?

Ahhh your mate was the dreamer that offered me 12k after telling me he had the money when I had $16500 on it. Let him know I sold it for $15500 to the 2nd person to come and look at it. Don't know what else he wanted done to the engine I'd done everything but aftermarket ecu
