Look what happened to my MR2 today....



Luckily however, 600 miles ago this was put in:



=) So no worries.... except for my suspension which NEEDS to be removed and refurbished. Man, I'm part of the "200k" club now

Woot, also I got rid of those horrible prelude rims and tossed on a set of *Free* RSX Type S rims with new tires on them. Got to love friends who give you free stuff especially $500 worth of it. They actually look halfway decent on there... I'll get pictures tomorrow when it's daylight out.

200k? The party's just getting started!

Currently have 188k on the Q. Probably another year before I hit the big two-double-zero. That Q in Atlanta with 450k sadly was wrecked last fall.

Jeff Fazio on MR2OC has 199000k on his 3sgte... with 21 psi.... unopened motor running 11 second 1/4 miles, kicks a** on mountain climbs and is putting out 330rwhp. It's like the thing just won't die.

I'm actually pretty surprised, the body is RIDICULOUSLY straight for 200k. There's 4 rock chips that can't be seen, unless you're me. Other than that the body is nigh perfection.

the 93 turbo 2 im workin on right now has been down and out for a bit, but just got done puttin on the 1.5mm HKS headgasket, custom fmic, new pistons, rods, cams, and an HKS turbo. now 25psi and 100mph in third are no problem. oh yeah there is 210k on the clock.

everything in the motor was fine, just blew the headgasket (imagine that) so i thought id "prepare" the motor for a lil more boost instead of just fixing that.

Ah, yes tis a SW20 (SW21 for us american folks, SW22 is the G-limited, mine's actually SW22 with an SW20 motor... so... it's a SW21.5). All things considered however, it's still really clean for a car that's got 200k on it.
