1996 Toyota MR2

[RX7]

Unusual badge but very cool

[Daniel]

Very unusual, that's why I like it! Actually looks better on the car in person than in the photos.

[Daniel]

After last night on the track, it may have handled like a bag of shit. But I still love the box standard MR shape.





Need. New. Bushes.

[Stuart]

That last photo looks the nuts! (Maffster?)

It is a lovely shape and very easily spoiled by aftermarket dickery. Bushes and even strut braces won't cost the Earth.......familiar territory Dan? I recollect you doing the same to your blue one?

[Daniel]

Unfortunately not, those two (along with others) are the MSV ones. Although I see Matt has taken a few in the photos thread!

Yeah very familiar, the only thing I regretted with the blue one was never fully replacing the suspension since it was largely collapsed. But this with new bushes, drop links, springs and a couple of ultra racing braces should make for a decent 'step up' combo. Just need to wait until I'm earning again before a big green box takes all my money.

Superb images

From the recent detail (not in the right order but there we are

Dan wanted the back de-badged. What a mission!!

[Daniel]

To say I'm happy with what Stuarts done is an understatement! The Pajero was great but this with the metallic paint really does speak volumes. Epic work Stu, every time I get out of the car I have to keep looking at it shining away.

Just to add. Now that Stuart debadged the boot lid it then gave me the chance to modify one of the badges to just a plain 'GT'. I could've paid Toyota £35+VAT unpainted for the pleasure of a small piece of plastic, but I wasn't that happy to oblige. So I cut the badge up, dressed the ends and now have it fixed on the car.





That shine.

[Stuart]

GT badge looks great mate. Thanks for your kind words

Looks lovely I has a GS300 in that colour and I would agree it looks stunning when polished and in the sunshine.....now stop slacking Dan get a job and get some more mods done
