I love it.

 

[motortrend]

The interior is a bit too red, white looks too plain for that much body modifications, the steering wheel looks like it came straight off a honda fit, yet still looks good. A few other things I dont like but overall 👍

Motortrend, that steering wheel (in leather) is straight out of a 06-11 Civic. I just read the article and because of the longitudinally positioned engine, there's no transaxle. And since there's no transaxle, there's no need for the motor to run, so there's no headers or exhaust. Boooo!

In fact the only way for them to get it to run would have been to drop the Super GT NSX engine/transmission in it (which is also longitudinally positioned) but then it wouldn't have been too comfortable on the street.

What? So you can't even drive it. What a waste of a car. 👎

Wouldn't any MR 'LP' type transaxle work? Hell even a Corvette transaxle would technically work.

550bhp N/A 3 Rotor RX-7 ripping it



Sadly loses an apex seal towards the end. Kinda strange, that 13g engine is an endurance motor. Raced at Le Mans quite often without issue.

Free rev of the same car, the best noise you will ever hear

Another NSX

Not a fan of the wheels, but otherwise, perfect.

I agree, the wheels aren't bad, but just not on the car really. I think these suit it more:

Uh...Somebody thinks that's cool to be missing your wing?

 

[Azuremen]

Uh...Somebody thinks that's cool to be missing your wing?

I remember kids doing that back in the really bad ricer days.

Maybe they are trying to be ironic?

At some point, I should get an SW20, if just so I can say I've owned every generation of the MR2.

And because we know everyone is wondering what has happened to the spoiler on the car, Armand tells me the wing is a unique one-off modified Corolla TRD wing adapted to fit the MR2. Unfortunately, someone thought it looked like a great spot to lean against and snapped it right in half.

So if broken, why leave those 2 pieces on?

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

I hate that MR2. It looks absolutely useless. I've seen videos of the same car where the owner cannot even get a credit card between the tire and the wheel arch, and how rubber constantly scrapes off the tire and onto the fender during just normal driving. It's just completely stupid.

I hate that MR2. It looks absolutely useless.

And yet, it puts down 300whp and is daily driven. And has been for the last 70,000 miles or so.

Some people have more patience than others.

 

[Omnis]

Wish I had a fast supra like that so I could get kisses too.

300hp 3SGTE is no big achievement or anything...

I'd be impressed if you said here that it was naturally aspirated.

👍

More info of that Z?

 

[CodeRedR51]

 

[Dennisch]

That a fine piece of automotive porn. God damn it looks so good.

 

[speed junkie]

I would've been happy with less poke in the rear though.

 

[Keef]

Damn. That guy has a better stance than me. More low and more spacers it is, then!

You think those are 17s or 18s? My wheels look smaller than some that I see in pictures for some reason.

 

[Glubags]

Because suspension travel is so overrated.

Someone leaned on it... and it snapped in half? So it really never served any purpose other than increasing drag. Awesome.

Stupid car is stupid.
