Looks awesome! Would love to see that in the back of my AW11 :)
I reckon you need a black silicon elbow to replace that blue one.

Unfortunately it was the only one left at the shop! I'm planning on getting a stainless intake made up soon like my original one. Rob

Part of me says yes, part of me also wants to retain the "sleeper" look Currently it just looks like an 3SGE SW20 with a set of wheels on it and an exhaust :P

Eric oh Eric. I was wondering where your mind had gone when saying around a fire one night you're going to a v6. I saw the car drive on the last club event. Watching and hearing it plant power effortlessly, from the moment it rolled.
To my suprise the v6 had everyone smiling from ear to ear.
You have added a supercharger for what I can only agree, now that is one hell of a dam good set up!!!
Great job, great commitment, ledgondary MR2 representation.
Credit where credits due - awesome build.

Eric, you wont be disappointed.
Once I put Lucas's 2gr in his 1994 mr2, I drove it around for about a week, to check & confirm all was ok... couldn't keep the smile off my face, the sound is sooo sweet.
Ahhh, I'm very envious :-)

Got the car running after uni and took it for a blast.
I could not wipe the smile off my face. the noise was awesome and power in every gear was insane!
I really needed it after the week I've had. if anything, i'm more excited than ever for Wakefield park now.

I went for a 15 km ride in this and my neck is hurt!! Absolutely bloody amazing . I had driven it in NA form briefly previously. On paper it might be up by 40kw but that gives no true indication of how it actually performs now.
Totally different animal. Instant savage acceleration at almost any revs. Stunning !!
And thank you for the ride. It sounds even more like a Porsche than before.
