It’s been One Year since I took the MR2 home from The Speed Syndicate after it’s JDM Gen4 3S-GTE swap.
It was a good year. I’ve gotten used to the initial shock of the power “bump”. 300 crank HP in a sub 2800 lb car doesn’t seem so outrageous anymore. My new normal... and it’s glorious. A lot of smiles per kilometer.
I even entered the car for my first car show, the annual All Japanese Classic. I also volunteered during the show. I’ve been to show & shines in the past but having a motor I can be proud of was icing. Opening up the hood and showcasing my clean & detailed bay added another layer of ownership gratification.
Car is now parked and stored for the winter.
