Speedhunters reader Serge Anisonyan sent through photos of his Toyota MR2. Once a non-turbo SW20, Serge has transformed it into a pretty neat streeter.
Now fitted behind the cabin is a 3S-GTE turbo motor, along with a Walbro 255 fuel pump, 3-inch down pipe and an A'PEXI AVC-R to control boost.
Through the rear window you'll be able to spot the Autopower roll cage and the backs of the Recaro SR3 seats which have been retrimmed in brown suede. The exterior, which is certainly clean by most people's standards, features quite a few additions. There's the Kaminari front lip, Bomex whale tail wing, Border side skirts and rear pods. You'll also spot 94+ taillights and a custom rear diffuser. The antenna and side mouldings were shaved before the MR2's body was given a lick of macadamia metallic paint with a hint of blue flake.
Along with the motor, Serge sourced the brakes from a 93+ turbo model to fit to his MR2. Serge has also installed a set of A'PEXi N1 Circuit Evolution coilovers which have been further modified. As you can see here, Serge has opted to run staggered diameters of SBC-finished SSR Professor SP1 rims. The fronts measure 17×9.5-inch, while the rears are 18×10.5 (-5 offset).
Nice work Sergey!

Tidy!
I'm really liking the current wave of brown cars, both factory and resprayed older cars, but this one isn't doing it for me......but I can't work out if it's the shape or the colour?
Very nice! I always love a good looking SW20.
Love it. best sw ever.
Shave that wing.
Love everything about it. More stuff like this please and more details.
That is one dope MR2!
looking gorgeous, I love these interesting little wonders of automotive engineering. Definitely a car that doesn't get enough credit.
Very nice MR2, very nicely done.
That's a sweet... sweet Toyota

Finally a MR2! mmmmmmmm
Cool car
Love it, would like some interior shots
It's too low. SW20s' suspension geometry is maxxed out after about 2"
dat license plate
This car looks 100x better in person. Pics definitely don't do it justice.
i love it - great colour, cool rim choice too! is it true that the MR in MR2 stands for Midship Runabout? or is my bro 'Nugget' pulling my chain..

I'm not much of an sw20 fan, but this one was done right! This car is tough
looking sweet - nice to see one with the roof glass out.. loving the colour.. i wonder whats lurking under the bonnet (in fact the magic happens in the back) i bet that number plate fools a lot of wanna-be contenders - Thanks.
Holy shitskieeeees I havent commented in months but THIS CAR brought me back to LIFE!! Awesome setup, great looks and happy to see some power and brakes to back up the superb wheel selection. Ace job and I'm wishing I had a similar car to rip around town in right now. Amazing spotlight, very very nice!
Always had a sweet spot for these, this is not helping!
Nice as hell.
More SW20 love please. I wish I would have built one of these soooo bad.
I will forever have a soft spot for these little beats as my first car was a 1992 MR2.... They are so badass. This one is no different.
Mehhhh...wheels don't fit
Hell yeah, that's so clean and rare.. It was built great. Perfect. Wish there would be more of this, haven't seen em for a while.
Its great to see a MR2, need to have more featured
Thats a nice ride dont see too many sw20s around lately
Sigh... makes me long for my '93 turbo I made the mistake of selling long ago. Awesome little car.
Very Nice, very nice indeed!
looks way better in person, the paint on that alone is one of the coolest browns i have ever seen
Nicest current build MR2 I have seen in years.
thats a nice sw20 looks fantastic,think they always will
