    Who cares about the widebody, I'd spend the money on a clean AW11 Supercharger model, squander some money on some ridiculous, fat, meaty tires, fender flares (no widebody) and some suspension goodies. The AW11 was the MR2 that was out to kill you.

    Seriously, it's nice to know there are a few other MR2 enthusiasts on the board who can vouch for the MR2, but still call this one for what it is. A shame.
    Pass the pipe.

    for 11k I want a rubber hose with hose clamps connecting two dissimilar sized aluminum hoses to direct my boost from turbo to intake manifold.
    I also want a a cheap carbon fiber hood that barely matches the lines of the car.
    So I guess this is my desirable crack pipe!

    Rubbish. I love the second-generation MR-2. The faux-Ferrari thing works so much better than the faux-Boxter that followed. Unfortunately, so many of these lovely little cars have fallen into the grasp of ricer morons like this. Widebody kits and big-ass wings belong on Civics and other disposable crap where they can do no harm other than to embarrass the wannabe douchebags who like that sort of thing- not on cars that will definitely be future classics. I would almost pay half this price to buy this, source some replacement panels, and give the poor thing its dignity back. But $11k? Yeah, that's crack. And that's a shame.

    Crack pipe. I'm an MR2 enthusiast and... that thing is awful. Everything about that car is a mess, starting with the REPLICA WIDEBODY KIT (definitely not authentic unless someone wen t out of their way to ruin it and make it look horrible like all the knock-offs).
    The engine bay is a ugly mess.. the wheel offsets suck, the crappy CF hood doesn't fit..
    And then there's the snorkel. A knock-off snorkel that supposedly feeds cool air to the intake.. which is actually on the LEFT side of the car, not the right.

    This is one of the later MR2s - the taillights are the clue. I call Crack Pipe on this molested example - a clean stock MR2 Turbo would go for less, and I don't go for these mods. Look how badly that "carbon fiber" hood fits, the wing is awful, and that snorkel on the roof....

    Looked good until ...that wing. Wtf is with kids and those ugly ass wings? You have a nicely sculpted car, flowing lines, then you stick an ugly triangle on the back. It's like if you had a nude Angelina Jolie draped across your bed, and someone sticks a beanie with a propeller on her head.

    @Formerlythegreatestdriver: I was wondering the same thing, although I think its one of those back compression belts. The owner is probably a fake and bake punk who lifts weights in the garage while looking at himself in the dust coated windows of his MR2 which is sitting due to the transmission he blew cause he doesn't understand what that 3rd pedal does.

    It's inexplicably filthy and appears to have ill-fitting parts in the engine bay. I like the widebody look but I can't help but think that the cost to make sure no one else has FUBAR'd this thing (or fix what's broken) will be prohibitive.
