So, one of those awesome great amazing things happened for me today.

the fedex guy came while i was out.

luckily, my roommate was home.

yes, AW11 coilovers

sadly, they won't be on till some time next week (after finals)

but at least they are here now.

Sick!

I think you can run 15psi on 93 octane. You should turn up the boost. That should get you to 220 rwhp.

ac427cpe · 11-29-2006, 02:04 PM

so, a quick update... won another series... but now I need a rebuild. spun bearing = sadness

ac427cpe · 02-15-2007, 01:57 PM

well, it seems like the car is going to change some more... from the origonal doubling in HP, it will hopefully double again! and the car's diet has proven around 200lbs so far, we'll see where it ends up.

how do you mod the interior, like the red you have on the door and armrest, but mostly the door.

I took all the paneling out, took off the old fabric and reupholstered it. I'll actually be switching to a much more spartan interior in the very near future (at which point i'll be selling the red panels) PM me if you're interested.

Update: Work + school + other projects to sell = no time

however! the 2.2L stroker engine is done, now i just need the turbo kit + EMS

Thread ressurection. I am HUGELY honored to take delivery of this car for a friend from out of state. I am quite jealous after reading this build, as this particular MR2 looks to be quite the beast.

Pretty excited to see it in person! I'll be seeing ya, Dan.

And no worries about the new owner, I know he is a current AW11 owner, and furthermore an AW11 fanatic. The car will be in good, capable hands.

As posted here, The 1.5 project has been sold. The new owner has big plans for it, and hopefully the time that I no longer have to put into her.
