Changes made to the MR2, ranked from obvious to subtle…

1. No longer red. It is orange with Nightfall Grey Metallic accents. Sort of the “yang” to my 2017 Camaro Fifty’s “yin”. Even used the GM paint codes.
2. Factory emblems are also Nightfall Grey Metallic
3. Threw away the piece o’ crap racer seats. Bought a pair of OEM seats and reupholstered them in black/grey leather and alcantara
4. Replaced the Sparco quick release steering wheel with a 3-spoke Toyota Celica GT steering wheel
5. Installed a double din CarPlay capable head unit with a rear camera
6. Swapped wheels and tires. Now wearing JNC030 wheels and Conti ExtremeContact DWS06 rubber. 215/45/17 on 17x8 wheels in the front, 235/45/17 on 17x9 rear. Enkei set is in the garage for eventual autocross duty.
7. Replaced the door cards with less ugly door cards. The red ones the car came with were criminally ugly.
8. Affixed Japanese market badges to the fenders.

Spending this year driving it to get used to the driving dynamics before I do anything g to the suspension and powertrain. And for anyone wondering, I have zero plans to K Swap it. Engine seems strong as is. Trans could use some synchro work on the 2-3 and 4-3 shifts, but I’m not sure if I can get ahold of the right parts.
