- the new hood is on & looks pretty good. this is a seibon cf hood. waited 3 months for it. fit is pretty good, still needs a slight adjustment & some hood pins. splitter rods are on & im pleased with them. new trd sun screen banner, new emblem on the hood, & some side covers on the body kit down low under the doors, as i wasnt satisfied with the screen mesh i did before that you can see in the older vids. still have alot of shit planned for this car, like lowering springs or coilovers, side intake covers in the same satin black color as the pieces under the body kit, & eventually imma take it up to monkey wrench racing in mich wich isnt too far from where i live in ohio & have them do a 2zz swap including a super charger. for about $11k, i should end up with around 260hp, wich imo is way more than necessary for this car lol. it looks fast, so i feel it should actually be fast lol. its unfortunate for me that im good with body/paint, not so good on mechanical. i will also be custom fabricating an aluminum splitter for the front lip, wich will go up underneath those 2 satin black plastic splitters that the rods are connected to. itll stick out a lil farther than those do, give it more of a race car look is what im going for. im also messing around with the idea of adding canards to the front, i may have to fab those too. dont get on me too hard bout the car k ppl, i only half know what im doing here when it comes to dyi lol. 1 more thing, im debating on whether or not i love the rear spoiler, or is it too much, a lil too fast & furious looking, idk yet. btw folks, theres 1 thing bout this car nobody has seen yet, its got a pretty nice 1k watt system in it. touch screen head unit, & a custom made dual 10" subs box built in behind the seat with a nice amp, upgraded door & tweets, all rockford fosgate. sounds amazing & it pounds the bass. I'll show it in the next vid once i get the car back out of hibernation from winter
Sweet ride brother!
Thnx man!!
Looks like we like the same shit, mr2's & harleys lol
I also like the 1st and 2nd generation MR2
Same here i love all 3
Great job so far!! . I've got the 2004 model. Was thinking of installing a gt spoiler 🤔 where did you get yours? You should get some speedster humps to cover the fabric roof. Not many people do this and in my view just makes it stand out even more!!
So glad you mentioned the speedster humps lol. Was gonna buy that item from a porsche body kit from turismo.uk.com, but i think im gonna make it myself.im pretty good with fiberglass/bodywork/paint. & i agree i luv that look. I got my wing from ebay actually, i wasnt so sure i liked it at 1st but im good with it now.
@@bullfrogzbodyshop man I wish people made more parts for the spyder here in the states. Parts are so expensive lol
@v8_sami what kind of parts are you lookin for? Like mechanical parts? Or bodykits & stuff
Looks really nice I have a yellow MR2 Spyder 2000 I used to have the sw20 1990 can see mine on my TH-cam channel. Next mod is the coilovers as my stock shock's are bad need changing going to be almost $1000 just to replace to stock I don't see the point. As for $1500 can get BC racing 3nd in the ranks they sell. Good for Street and track.
Ive been debating on either high $ coilovers, or cheap lowering springs lol. I've been told tho by car guys that if you do coilovers you should upgrade the rest of all of the front suspension. Im a bit torn bout it. & ill def check out your channel man
@@bullfrogzbodyshop thanks I only have one video on my MR2 buy I will be making more soon yeah don't go lowering springs makes the ride really bad changes your spring rate to much my brother had lowering springs on a Toyota Hilux the ride with terrible it was so bouncy
@@SiameseFighter37 ya im leaning more towards the coilovers,ive ben looking at meghans racing.look like a good deal for the $
also I wish Forza Had the second and third gen MR2
Although they only have the first generation
In love with this!! Where did you find the diffuser, front lip, and the covers on the side skirt?!?!?!?
Thnx man! The diffuser is on ebay, the front lip is 2 out of the 3 pieces the universal splitter kit came with,also on ebay.ill be adding a bigger aluminum splitter to go underneath those 2 pieces as well that will make up the gap in the middle.the 2 side vents on the skirts also are universal vents from ebay.im a cheap sob i get everything from ebay pretty much lol. If you look at my pieces closely,then compare them to what you see on ebay under universal splitter, vents,diffuser,youll find all of it.if you need any help at all tho just holla at me.im gettin ready to add the custom made aluminum splitter under the front,maybe add vent to the front quarter panels,then spray the car satin black.i think with the carbon that'd look sick.that way the car is just satin black+ carbon, instead of red black + carbon
Sick looking car man! Im suprised your wheels dont rub. What body kit is that?
Thnx man! So far im pretty happy with the mods,although i have been thinkin bout changing the red to either satin black or maybe lime green.ive still got a massive list of mods to do,including a 2zz with super charger.but ya the wheels dont rub at all, they are 17" wheels, no offset, on stock shocks. Will prob go coilovers eventually,drop it another 3/4 inch or so. The body kit is the vis racing standard kit that most ppl get, i just added a few splitters of my own underneath.
Just having a look at all your other videos.
Ya man let me know what you think
Currently installing a turbo on mine
Ben contemplating that. Turbo my 1zz, or pay the big $ for swap & supercharger. Can you give me some details? Prices? Would luv some info on that
@@bullfrogzbodyshop sure just search turbocharging the 1zz need help on spyderchat. I pretty much walked through everything I did, the cost and the difficulties I had. The 1zz 10.1 compression ratio is perfect for low to medium boost and can make lots of power on e85. The 1zzs limits aren’t much lower than the transmission limits so I dont really see the added cost and complexity being any benefit with swapping a 2zz with a low boost supercharger. Superchargers take power to run and you’ll likely be at 1zz power just spinning the 2zzs supercharger and the 1zz can easily make 250whp on a good e85 tune which is likely more than you’d see from a supercharged 2zz.
@@zokusharuuku1091 ya thats another way i was thinking,maybe even build the 1zz & turbo it
@@bullfrogzbodyshop when my engine blows I’ll likely buy a cheap 1zz (as they are pretty much being given away) probably throw some rods and pistons in it and be done. That should make all the power I’d be looking for without spending a fortune like I did for my sti(huge mistake fully building it)
@@zokusharuuku1091 thats kinda what im thinkin too. I've noticed some nice internals poppin up lately from mwr for 1zz
Nice!! what wheels are those and size and offset?
Thnx! I forget the exact brand,carbon something i think.got em at discount tire.no offset they are 17"
I apologize, im embarrassed cuz i thought offset meant something different lol, such a noob. Srry man im not sure what the offset on them is
Where did you buy the carbon fibre engine cover and bonnet. The stock engine cover is heavy would like to change it
Actually its a wrap lol. I wrapped it in carbon fiber & added the custom vent but it is the stock engine cover
But,there is a cf engine cover available from vis racing,its super nice but pricey.& its got an even nicer bulit in vent
Oh just a wrap my friend has a workshop he does wrapping. Looks really good.
@@bullfrogzbodyshop ok I have look for it I'm in Australia so will have to see if I can get it here. Thanks for the info always good to talk to a fellow MR2 owner. I have liked your video and subscribed
@@SiameseFighter37 ty bro,any info we can share is awesome
do you have the link of the led you used in the back?
Hi there. It was an 8 color 4 piece rgb led strip kit i got from ebay, but i just looked at the item in my purchased list & it says its out of stock😪 but any rgb led strip kit should work for ya.i wish i had put more strips in there so it might have ben brighter.im thinkin bout adding some strips to the front behind the grill as well.
Is there an Instagram for this car?
No srry man, i actually just sold the car bout a month ago. But if you have any questions bout what i did to it lemme know
