Thats awesome, it will look amazing when painted!
Thanks! We’ve ordered a test of the colour we want and then that’s the next job. 👍
Excellent work, fabrication & wheel set up.
Thanks CJ! Very happy with the way the car looks sitting and drives which is a tough balance to get as it turns out.
Subscribed to see how this turns out. I used to have a Spyder but lost it to a hit and run driver. Looking to get one again and go turbo K24A2 conversion.
Thanks! The respray is all done now and looks amazing. I’m editing the video for it now as I did it myself in a booth we set up.
@@KingandTitanRacing Can't wait to see it.
4V6 quicksand color. Great job putting out this video. Convinced me to get the widebody.
Thanks for the feedback! Comments like that are really motivating to keep putting out more. 👍 Good luck with the project, reach out to us on IG if you want to talk any of the details through.
@@KingandTitanRacing without a doubt! MR_71_BLACKBIRD I will hit you up. Im going to prep and spray the kit myself so if you do a video of guns, brands of paint, mixing, etc would be heavenly.
@@MR_71_BLACKBIRD that’s the exact next project! Ordering spray equipment this week. 😁
Looks fantastic I'm green with envy. Mines been sitting for weeks needing attention but money is short for projects like this. I just want to fix my cold air intake and tune my pfc so I can drive it properly 😁
I know the feeling believe me! Getting this finished was only due to lockdown, otherwise it would have been another year at least. 😂 Can’t wait to drive this soon!
I spent $200 for a widebody kit for my mr2 soyder. It’s made for a brz and took a little trimming but it’s going to look amazing once it’s painted.
Great deal on that if it’s a quality you’re happy with. You uploading a video on that? Would be keen to see how you make that fit.
@@KingandTitanRacing I’ve got a post on spyder chat under show your fender flares. Once I get it painted I’ll make a video of it.
Nice job. Looking forward to seeing the paint job. Are you doing that yourself also?
Thanks! Yes I am. I’m just waiting on a compressor to arrive and then I’ll set up a booth and do the paint work. 👍
Do you have any videos of you applying the body filler and alignment of the panels?

We did the full filler and sanding process in this video so didn't go over it again. The panel alignment was covered in the wide body video that came before this one
It's very cool. I'm looking to do something similiar. Where did you order the kit from?
Thanks! I ordered the kit from china, found it on eBay and then had to do the import etc that I mentioned. The kit had a lot of issues, but nothing I couldn’t fix as a first timer. I’d rather have to cut off a mounting tabs going in the wrong direction and remake my own than pay an extra £1000 or more.
Great job! What manufacturer did you use?
Thanks! I used a kit from a company based in China who was selling through eBay. I put a link in the description but it no longer works so I guess they’ve stopped selling them. From a design perspective it’s a copy of the APR kit.
Wow, nice work! Can you link the seller of the KIT?
Thanks! Just added the link for the part in the description.
Hi Buddy,
Planning to go widebody. What's your wheel and tire spec in both front and rear? does it rub in the front when full turn? Thank you for your help!
Hi Vince, sorry for the slow reply, I wanted to be with the car to double check for you and have been travelling a lot recently. The wheels are 17” all round with Michelin PS4s on. That’s a great tyre for track and road, I use them on my Vantage as well.
Rears are 17”x9” with an ET of 25. They’re a perfect fit with the widebody. I did try 10” but they were too wide in the end.
Front I’m using a custom billeted bolt on 50mm spacer and 17”x7.5” with an ET40 offset. They do rub a tiny bit on the weld in the wheel arch but you can hammer that flat without cutting it. Just paint over any scratches and then under seal the arch.
Hope that’s helpful, sorry for the delay.
@@KingandTitanRacing No worries Buddy! Thank you for your inputs! you really have a beautiful spyder!
@@vinceapolinario2245 thanks! Lots more to do though. This weekend I’m hoping to finish the prototypes for my front splitter and rear diffuser. Going to do a full flat floor too.
@@KingandTitanRacingHi Buddy,
I have a question regarding Tire size. we have the same wheel set up just like to ask if 45 series in the front will hit the wheel well that you have flat down? is 40 series really the one you would recommend or I can go up to 45? thank you
wait, why would you put sealant over all the panels? doesn't that defeat the purpose of the MR-S having un-boltable panels 360 degrees around the car for ultimate serviceability when you need to scrape rust off the frame or tend to repairs easier than any other monocoque in existence?
Yeah that’s a great benefit of the MR2 but when you widebody the reality is the production of the kit just isn’t as good as factory. I just used the sealant to fill the slight gaps to the edges of the panels I wouldn’t want to remove. Skirts and 3/4 panels. Bonnets and bumpers are on/off all the time. Thankfully mine hasn’t got any rust on it and then I did the under seal anyway as an extra precaution.
@@KingandTitanRacing i feel that normalizes the car a bit. One deciding factor for me to purchase an ZZW30 over the SW20 was the removable rear panels that are otherwise permanent/ common rust spot on japanese cars. at least it's still virtually possible when you get crashed into/ struck by grandma's door at market. even if you must remove extra sealant.
You did an amazing job there buddy. Phantom gray would look pretty good on her with hardtop painted black.
Thanks! Hadn’t thought about grey but that’s a great idea, that would really highlight the cage. 👍
ebay link is dead now :(
I think the supplier went out of business but if you look for them they do come up every now and again. If I’d known they were so hard to get hold of I would have moulded this one before fitting and painting it.
Keep it blueee
Bit late for that I’m afraid! I went with a Porsche colour M93A ‘Crayon’. It looks amazing on the car and I’m doing PPF right now so I can get it on the road soon.
What is the name of the kit?
This is a copy of the APR kit, there’s a few companies that do those as the originals are very rare. I got this one from EBay and imported from China but the seller doesn’t do them anymore. I got one of the last tho they had in stock and it looks like they’ve not produced anymore. These kits can cost anything between £1500 and £8000 just for the kit depending into he material. (Fibreglass/Carbon etc)
Looks like the pennies soon add up.... Think I'd rather buy a 20k ttrs
All in this build has been under 17K to date and all that’s left to do is the engine swap. So it depends what you’re after. When this is finished it will be a 400 BHP monster and the budget will have come to around 20K.
Holy crap 1 inch of body filler on any car is not good pal, instantl design flaw
We’ll see with use, have had good reports from other builds on this one and the bonnet we did has stood up to a good few road tests. Not ideal but the only solution on hand. It’s bonded really well to the kit which is encouraging.
@@KingandTitanRacing reminds me of when I was 17 and my mate bogged up a dent with over an inch of body filler, that is NEVER a good idea, may as well cement some bricks in the footwell too lol
@@andy2906 ha, I know what you mean. Filler does have a chunky weight to it. Overall I’m happy with the weighty of the bumpers though, still not notably heavy. And that filler has been sanded back many times so the finished product is probably close to 2/3 of an inch.
