Fuel Tech
Hey guys, as many of you know my Mr2 was chosen as a demo car last summer for Fuel Tech to introduce their Ft300 EMS here in the US. It was a great experience and it was very awesome getting direct support from the engineers that designed this unit and the top techs that do all the R+D. I was very impressed with the unit, it is high quality with a ton of great features.

Fuel tech is a Brazilian company that strives to provide their customers with a very user friendly product using the best and newest technology. They are the top of the market in Brazil and their EMS is running each class’ championship winning car in the Brazilian drag racing circuit. I believe they will become one of the premere EMS brands in the near future.

So here is the opportunity: Fuel Tech will be sending their top technicians out here again next month to do installs and tunes on a few cars. The deal is great, with the purchase of the unit you will get a factory install and tune for $600! Spots are filling up fast! hope we can get some Mr2s involved!

A Proven Formula…

Even when compared to modern standards, our beloved MR2 still possesses the right sports car formula! Canadian auto enthusiast, Justin Pritchard gave us his perspective on his own JDM SW20.

Though most of us basis MR2 owners would disagree with his blowing up turbos and unreliability issues, we wont go there. We’ll definitely agree with him…that this is one of the coolest car’s he’s ever driven. I still get thumbs up from random people for my 2 from time to time. Lastly Justin gives a sense that the MR2 still possesses the character and many of attributes that make for a pure sports car. Cheers!

24hrs as a professional, from the drivers seat.

This great video was just posed on my favorite blog, http://speedhunters.com/

These shots really make one appreciate an endurance race run by professionals. If you have ever tried to get in and out of a race car you know how challenging that is. These drivers do it so fast and make it look easy! The ending makes all the practice and effort from the team worth while, great finish.

Ever take mom or dad for a spin?

There’s nothing like getting a rouse out of friends and family with your MR2…this was definitely not the reaction I got from my dad but he did grab the “oh sh!t handle” a few times.

New lip found. Start of winter projects.

Every winter I feel the itch to change around my MR2. First thing on the list was to get ride of my busted up 93+ lip.

Hard part is finding a lip that goes with the OEM look. Nothing too massive.

Crux lip, what do you think?
