Peter Zeelie has always brought it with some seriously fast cars, I remember him winning a gymkhana event at Wesbank Raceway in a Porsche that had a broken 3rd gear, that car was ridiculously fast!
A project like this is completed by a village of people whom all have sanity issues that stem from an incomprehensible addiction to cars. I would love to be in a room while they pour the knowledge they have into an aspect of the build. What a proper weapon. I also have the same level of insanity haha.
@@pacrat90 awesome! Such a great pairing aren’t they. I’m really looking forward to getting back to the track this year in both cars. Thanks for watching. 👍
TOyota is such a great platform to tune and modify, very refreshing to see something like this. Just wish he talked about his drivetrain but I understand, he has to keep his competition guessing.
The engine is 2GR... Toyota Sienna. Not sure what trans he is using. H pattern 2GRs use the EB60 series or E153 and E351 gearboxes, obviously his is sequential.
A serious builder and driver with a very serious car and the platform he chose to do it on is an mr2s, these cars are the future of great hobbyist builds
I'm not really a fan of the looks of the MR-S zzw30 but this one stands apart, and the performance speaks for itself. love that he went from a lotus with a Toyota engine to the mr2 with what assume is the same Toyota v6 that's in the Evora cool to see the brand loyalty. and I'm sure there will be more to come from that car and driver
There were 3 different models over the years. The W10, W20 and W30. The W20 car had a reputations for a loose arse - Pieter has the W30. Light and handles beautifully.
The second generation has the largest reputation for “snap oversteer.” The problem with that reputation is that it is generated by drivers who go into corners too hot and then lose their nerve and lift. Yes, having a slight rear weight bias can make them a little more tail happy, but a driver who will commit to a line and speed will almost always come out without issue.
Another thing that contributes to the "unstable" rumour is the fact the ZZW30 looks like it has a very short wheelbase. In reality, the overhangs are super short and the wheelbase matches that of much larger sports cars like the latest gen 911 GT3.
The MK3 Roadster like this one is a fantastic handling car and a great platform to build on. It’s a hugely enjoyable car to drive, lift off oversteer is a potential issue but that’s all mid engine cars.
It's not just any 2GR, like a FKS or FSE, it's a single turbo 2GRFE. A lot of people lump the lot together but the FE is the only one making big power currently. Guys have made +700whp on a bone stock unopened block. With the mods that Peter has done, no doubt we'll see reliable triple digits soon out of this engine soon. ZTR Tuning has already hit +1000hp with their 2GRFE power drag car celica.
@@TEKSMRT the 2gr-fe is definitely a formidable engine, but the reason people aren’t using the -fse or -fks engines yet is because there isn’t anyone who’s put in the time and money to make the direct injection on those engines function correctly…yet. Until someone figures out the stock ecus for those motors or spends the money on an aftermarket unit capable of handling the GDI, it isn’t a gain to start with them. Someday, someone will get there, and they’ll likely wind up with something even more powerful then.

He should take it to Pike's Peak. What a piece of engineering
Great. I have an MRS. Now I have to come up with a million dollars and a million hours. And I’d still fall short of this. This car is magnificent.

This car is the inspiration for my MR2 build. Absolutely legendary. 👍 Thank you Peter for building and racing this.
Nice to see you here man. Been watching your Aston videos. I also have a Vantage and an MR2.

Salute to whoever decided to put that racing up hill clip at the end!
Give that man a Bells 🥃

@@ErikSeastead Pieter used to use an E153 converted to sequential but now runs a Kaps LS7 I believe.
It's amazing what us South Africans can accomplish. Keep getting faster
I have always been a fan of Zeelie's MR2. It's just perfect

"It's a lifestyle, it keeps me sane"... I totally understand that!! Exactly how I feel with my cars.
What weapon and great looking spyder!
Looks great hey
MR2! I like those little cars.

insane build! Respect!
I don't thinknthey mentioned how he created a double-wishbone suspension setup in the rear. This is best example of the gen 3. Cheers🍻
So proud of this man!! I also have same year MR2, albeit completely stock tho
What a great guy! Incredible passion for cars!
😍😍😍 What a weapon!! Please do more hillclimb cars😭😭😭
Never expected a production car can be tuned into this level. Congrats with the victory!
Not every production car.. Only perfect chassis like MR2, Nissan S chassis etc..
I love seeing this long term MR2 Spyder/Roadster/S succeed.
Thanks for being such a lekker person Mr Zeelie 🙌🏽 a true legend!
I have never been a fan of the MR2, but this is awesome.
Proudly South African right here
Incredible thet mr Zeelie choose the MR2 over the Elise as platform!
This is just beautiful😍😍
I just want to know how it feels to have such monsters in your garage the urge to drive it on the street is probably uncontrollable
I love speed 2 I would love 2 set up my series 1 m like this i already have insane grip .
Nice car great driving the car looks so planted
Respect peter.
Nice MRS. What body kit?
Started off as ARP but has been customised.
Love the soundtrack
Just the MR engine in the back make huge difference in my opinion
Such an amazing car!!!!!
It is a truly incredible build! Thanks for watching
wow did he custom make the wide fenders and side skirts?
Inhouse.
Now this is how you build an MR2 🤠 yee haa
Amazing and beautiful 😍
Holy shit.
That's it, that's all I have to say.
The Need 4 Speed.....the Ultimate Quest.
So sick
is your driving position comfortable bru?
Is it mr2 spyder?
What gearbox is that
Kaps ls7
*checks prices for Toyota mr2*
Love it
I'm surprised he chose an MR2 of all cars. Weren't those things notorious for being unstable at speed? Or am I confusing the MR2 with the Celica?

@@KingandTitanRacing Not even an issue imo, it's character that you can use to steer the car via throttle :)
sick
Mr2 spyder done right.
Insane
Anyone know the brand of the body kit?
Wondering if it's a modified off the shelf kit.
Modified with new aero. Development is ongoing.
Can you talk about used car prices in South Africa please?
So technically speaking, this is his wive's car 🤣🤣
It was - for one day 😂
MR-S
It's in the name. 😂
righto lets go i thought it was a Porsche from the thumbnail!!
Its a toyota....as the batch imply
MR2 MK3 design was based on Porsche Boxter.
@@kila_whale yeah that rear quarter of this mr2 looks like boxter and the round ring in the lights at a quick glance looks like a boxter.
@@YusufPetersenCPT as MR2 owners we also call this car PoorSche 😂
@@kila_whale 🤣🤣🤣👍
Damn, this is 1 madly impressive build 🔥 is it running the 2GR motor, or some other Toyota V6?
My dream build is a supercharged 2GR swapped SW20 MR2.

@@ryanschmidt1437 completely agree. Just a matter of time and money.
I have friends here in Australia with supercharged 2gr's in their sw20's.
That super charger for the 2gr comes in the toyota aurion in Australia.
Please make a review on Peugeot land track bakkie. Please.
that's a $200k mr2 tight there
