i'd take that car over the ferrari 360 or any porsche...

[Endless]

That is a freaking nice car!

[CelicaLicious]

beautiful shots..

[TRD StreetRacing]

whose picz look like a match box car......it's way too perfect:bowdown:

[2kgtx]

That's Purrty.

[HilfigerCelica]

I wonder how fast it is.

[Mistrimeat]

Yeah it does look like a scale model. I worship the owner of that car.

[jotan82]

HOLY ISH :AF:

like that better than RJ's veilside Mr. 2

THat is one beautiful machine

LOVE the seats, wheels, everything else... that taneau cover is perfect also!

A+++ :thumbup:

must be nice to have a fortune

[veilside02celi]

thanks on the compliments, the car is going to be shot for SuperStreet and shoudl be on sheleves sometime this fall, also AutoWorld mag is releasing a tuner mag and johns mr2 got some coverage for it too this past weekend at HIN. The car took Best Toyota and 4th overall this past weekend at HIN Chicago... alot more has happened and you may be seeing ALOt and i do mean ALOT of this car in the public eye soon, but i really dont wanna say too much right now details are kinda sketchy and things are still up in the air

[CelicaNamja79]

ssssweeeettttttt!

definite chick magnet.... dang nicely coordinated and done.....

[Jesse IL]

I just saw that car at HIN Chicago and I don't care what the judges say...it was the best car there. I've got a really sweet pic of it from the show that I'm working on and will post in this thread. The only thing odd about the car was the choice of a non-intercooled turbo system.

Its very difficult to intercool a rear or midships mounted engine if the vehicle was not originally designed to accomodate an intercooler. Space and airflow back in the engine compartment are at a premium, and the best bet (a top mounted air to air or remote mounted air to water) would both take a LOT of work to rig up.

Griffin

[dodiet]

The sound of the blow off valve makes me :D And you guys aren't too far away from me being in Cincy. Much props. So that's the MR2 that's gonna be in the Fast and Furious 2? ;)

yes this is correct but we opted to go with the Top Secret Intercooler system that is a top/rear mount... prob will be most effient setup, john wants a Front mount and a top mount but at this time its just not fesable due to cost, time, and most importantly i think loss of pressure

yaeh the HKS SSBOV is pretty loud especially when you are in the car because it is right behind you. We will be down in Lexington tommarrow actually to visit a friend that just Grad from UK. might see it on the streets

[AkUmA]

ahhh that mr-s sounds so nice in that vid.
:thumbup: looks great!

I wish I had a picture of the inside of the engine compartment. There was actually alot of room back there. I feel a good air/air unit wouldn't be that hard to rig up with those side scoops in that kit. Make them functional, fabricate some ducting, and make the fake vent at the back functional, and there you go. There seemed to be a decent amount of good fabrication work on that car, I think they could easily handle this project.

[CSteckel]

:AF:
I thought the MR2's were completely ugly until I saw these pictures. That looks like a bit more than just a body kit was done to that car. Amazing!

[CeliCraz]

WOW! :hitit: makes me want to get an MR-2. Great job :thumbup:

You, my friend, are nuts. ;) I like that car a lot, but a Modena would own IMO.

I would have to take RJ's MRS over this one just out of preference of wheels, color and timing. RJ was the first in the US with it on, boosted and displayed at SEMA in October. That beast was bad ass. He was happy with it, but focused on his then up and coming drag car.
http://www.importstreetscene.com/MR2/12.jpg
http://www.importstreetscene.com/MR2/07.jpg

In the end they are both bad ass MRSs. They both look great.

[veilside02celi]

yeah they are both bad ass rides but 2 totally different cars, the yellow does nothing for me on his car, something about a bright color on the mrs fourtune kit that just doesnt go well with me, second lets talk interior... momo vs bride? clearly the brides and the veilside steering wheel and 6 veilside gauges in carbon fiber pods stand out more to me, yes RJ has his 19" wheels witch is kewl i'd sport my own **** too, but the Veilside wheels on johns car complete the car i think john has veilside inside and out, the only thing john didnt do that RJ did was the veilside turbo were john opted the top secret kit.. and they put out very similar numers...

[larryd]

ok time to start saving :)

where do you get/order all those stuff?

[larryd]

would it be possible for you to tell me exactly how much $$ he has into the car.. im just curious as a base point

[WillyWonka]

All around, the VeilSide MR2 is one of my strong favorites. The esthetics of the car are phenomenal. The bodykit puts the car up a few levels. Just incredible.

hmmhmm..yea right:) I foresee a MR2 in your future!

[gilboman]

I will trade everything i have including my soul for that car!!:bowdown: :bowdown:

[veilside02celi]

Originally posted by larryd

25,500.00 for the car brand new and about another 25-30,000.00 into the car to get it where it is at now.

[Keyshawn]

I'm starting to like the Spyder more and more. If only the car came with more power from the factory, I'd be all over it. So can anyone break down a list of turbo kits that are ACTUALLY available for the Spyder?

[veilside02celi]

Top Secret Turbo Kit
Apexi Kit
Veilside Kit
Power Enterprise
not sure if there are any other custom kits out or not

[Keyshawn]

Do you know any phone numbers or websites where I can get more info on these turbo kits. I'm curious about 'em. Thanks for the info and pics.

Yeah but why? A dedicated water to air is more efficient and can be managed more easily. And I didn't say they couldn't do it, I said it would be a lot of work :) Theres a big diff.

Why not a water to air system? I would think that would be a teeny bit more efficient and easier to plumb up due to teh much smaller size of the water lines. Either way will be good tho - I'm just curious ;)

Griffin

[X-EVIL-X]

i would rather have that car for 50,000 than any other car around that price.
seriously 25000 for the car and 25000 for all the stuff added on it isn't that bad for what it became...
hmmm corvette or this....
take this anyday...
the car is sick as hell...

[alizonmi4u]

that ish is tight i would to have that car but the old mr2 are betterr

[Bo]

That's a nice car, a really nice car. It's a little pricey for me tho. I would have to drop all that dough on a Supra instead. I just like them a little more and I know that 750 hp is easily acheivable with all that cash and you still have greenies left over to Veilside the hell out of it too. Hell Christian's is running 750 hp and 32 lbs of boost. It looks like a total sleeper for Supras. The only thing on it from the outside is a front lip and some 17" OZs, and a visable exhaust (Greddy I think).

[X-EVIL-X]

what does this car run the 1/4 mile in?
how much horsepower and torque is it puttin down???

yes it is a bit pricy i agree, this is his second mr2, he sold his Previous Supra to do the MR2 up. check it out at www.auto-customs.com/supra/index.htm

[Bo]

Looks good. Definitely the 97 anniversary edition. Total sleeper. Likes.

[CelicaChick0406]

yeah, that was a badass mr2 spyder!!!! I really liked it alot.. apparently my brother knows him through spyderchat

thats about what i figured.. just playing around with some stuff in my head but the Veilside kit is compltely molded right?? so if you were to get an MRS that was in an acident you could essneitally fix it assuming no frame damage by purchasing the kit and having it molded.. then turbo it which i have my sources and the rest is basics.. its funny it sounds like alot but at the same time my Eclipse was 15,000 and I ahve about 14,000 invested in it.. so it is possible.. just dont know if I wanna do it again :)

[NeSyO03]

I swear put a vielside body kit on almost any car and it will look good IMO. Thats a crazy ride though.

there is nothing molded in on this kit, the MRS Veilside WIdebody consists of 11 replacement panels, the only thing that stays is the 2 doors and the rear engine cover. only thing "molded" onto the car was the top peice along the top of the door, other than that it was pretty much a bolt on kit..

Yeah - you need to see it up closse Lar - it is soooo tite. I mean, I genberally poo poo body kits - I think a lot of them just add weight and take away from the car, but D-amnnnnn this thing looks even better in person. Only think I didn't care for was the spoiler / rear deck fit. If I remember there were some clearance and support issues with the spoiler. But considering this is a complete kit thats a VERY small issue.

Griffin

[larryd]

ok, so does it bolt on on top of the OEM pieces or does it replace the OEM pieces?

[CIN]

It replaces the OEM panels and I think it is actually lighter so it even saves some weight.

[veilside02celi]

yes replaces OEM panels except the top door peices the go over the OEM doors... the entire 1 box from Veilside weighed a mear 65lbs!!!! so removing sheetmetal and replacing it the FRP had to be a weight reduction as well :)

[The Game]

That MR2S owns big time, but like GTSnut said I"d take a 360 anyday!

PAGE 2 OWN3D!

[shyvpboi]

Hey veilside02celi, what kind of gauge pods are those on the car and where can I get some?

[veilside02celi]

they are Carbon Trix Gauge pods... i believe Sport Compact did a write up on these a few months ago... good quality and resonably priced... check them out... www.carbontrix.com

[larryd]

so finding an MR2 with major body damage wouldnt be a bad idea then so long as the suspension and frame would be fine :)

[xi KiNG ix]

dammmmm i'd take both in a sec if I had the cash

[veilside02celi]

here are some updated pics from last night we snaped..

http://www.auto-customs.com/mrs/index.htm

[jotan82]

any interior shots/????

[veilside02celi]

no just met up took some quick high res pics that the people at Vision Entertainment can use to promote Import Revolution. The car is getting torn apart this weekend for a color change so doubt we will have any good interior shots for at least 2-3 weeks

[Keyshawn]

TeeAREdee,
GREAT observation! Veilside had some great inspiration for that body kit.

[Keyshawn]

Yeah, that car is DOPE also. That's a hard top, right? I'm curious, how much is it to get a hard top for the Spyder?

yeah that would be the MonoCraft kit, i think its an inch wider, but too bad they are all sold.. moncraft only produced 100 kits for the public i think.



Keyshawn - yeah the hardtop is the next thing on Johns list of parts.. i think there even may be a CF hard top??

[X-EVIL-X]

[veilside02celi]

haha my bad larry... how do you think i feel when i see the car every week and even get to sit in the Brides : )

[Meeocky]

That car is so fine!!!!! It sure sounds good. what kind of exhaust is on there?

[veilside02celi]

its the Veilside Turbo Cat Bcak Exhaust modied to kit the Top Secret Japan turbo manifold, a custom cat converter and piping was made... the owner purchased the N/A Veilside exhaust so he can use the Veilside Muffler/resonator..
