JDM K20a swapped Toyota MR2 Spyder Drive Review

A day like that with the top up, sinner....

Man this video would be so awesome with like 5 minutes of no talking

Hi mate! Mental car!!❤❤. By the way which rims you told that they are? Enkei….cheeers

Thinking about swapping over this k20 rsx type s i have to my spyder

Try 600 hp k24 turbo MR2 that's scary fast

Just get the MR2 Spyder and get a turbo or a Toyota Celica, Matrix or Pontiac Vibe 2ZZ engine swap and it’ll be an easier mod with the same or better performance. Plus it’ll be cheaper and be a more reliable swap… if you go with the Toyota engines.

The $3k turbo kits are awesome in the car and out perform C5 /6 Vettes, 350Z, Porsche Boxster & other sports cars and it even in stock form it handles great with lil modifications.

Your initial reaction is the only right reaction

Anyone know that front lip / splitter ?

Slow 🐌

I only just bought a 2000 manual car because I came across it on F/B. Hadn't been looking but it caught my eye at $2200. Completely standard. I have a couple of SR20 det engines and think they might be a good option. I wonder if anyone has done that swap ?

If you can't like a small sportcar unless its carbon fibre with a massive wing and a powerful engine, you dont want a small sportcar.

I wish I was either rich or talented, sadly neither 😑

Can anyone tell me what front lip that is

I need this car

I'm not a violent person but putting a Honda engine in ta Toyota is straight up sacrilege. The 3SGTE would have been a much better choice for the Mr2

I run 225 45 front 245 40 rear nankang ar1's on my spyder. Great tyres.




p.s. snap oversteer in mr2's is a internet myth made up by people that can't drive. ;-)

The only reason I think an NB Miata with K24 swap is better is because it still has a damn trunk! The MRS is the least practical car I've ever seen. You would have trouble taking your S/O on a weekend trip in it due to no cargo capacity.

Anyone can drive 500hp fast, but it takes someone with balls to drive 190hp fast

Does anyone know what front lip is on the car?

Nice car! 😍😍
Another great video man!
by the way what’s the wheels and tires specs on this machine?
TIA

I bought one a number of years ago for 3k just because I didn't want the common miata. The seating position it so much better than the same Era miata. And coming from preludes, WRX's and a 6.0l G8, this is the most fun car to drive I've owned. It's down on power so a basic turbo on the stock engine will bring it to the low 4's. 0-60

Car looks good want to know what company you bought the front lip from

How much would this swap cost? I have a sounder and I have no clue what to do with it.

Swap a 2gr on the MRS and you’ll have a different beast.

May I know what's the spring rates on this S3 suspension ?

Snap oversteer and oversteer are not the same thing. You did not experience any snap oversteer at all.

does someone know the brand of the front bumper splitter?

Vtev baby

The 2zz is a better motor it would be a Honda guy to say it’s mot

Don’t care for HONDA’s unless it’s a NSX or S2K. came for the Toyota. The prob is most likely the best handling Japanese car that doesn’t get the attention it deserves because it didn’t come fast stock but now it seems like people are realizing the serious potential of the chassis which should have never been doubted because this car is set up just like exotic cars. He should have put the Yamaha Toyota tuned 2ZZ with over 8000 redline

When vtech kick in “it was at this moment he knew he fucked up!”

If you missed getting in the S2000 market when they were reasonably priced, then buying an MR2 right now is the next best thing. They have been going up in value lately.
I want to buy a 3rd gen MR2 but it's hard to justify buying one when I rarely drive my AP2.

Wondering how fast 0-60 is

You should be a bit more considerate of other drivers. Go do your review on a track.

Very tasteful build!

I have an mr2Spyder. Been thinking of doing a kswap too. I don't know where to starts. Any ideas?

Wicked build!

Great car. I got k24 in it instead :)

Toyota needs to collab with Honda. this car is the perfect example. I wish I had this one

Me when irohazaka jump

i'm from LA and still got a 2004 black 6-speed SMT 1zz blacklabel turbo that makes 205 whp and 195 tq the last time i checked in back 2015. it has chrome rollbars like a TT, hardtop, C-One spoiler, stage one TRD bodykit, magnaflow exhaust, etc...Feel free to contact me and review it.

if the rear end feels like giant "pendulum" waiting to swing around, you need to stiffen (higher spring rates) up the rear of the car because this is where the weight is located at. The pendulum effect is a result of soft suspension and will result in much more "roll oversteer" feeling. Once i did stiffer springs (10k) on my kswapped mrs the car felt significantly better and alot safer feeling.

I love this thing! I just finished up my k24 turbo mr-s on my channel and it’s so fun!

Where is this video filmed

The MR2 Spyder is my dream car. And a realistic one, too.

Had my MR2 for many years. Love that thing. Swapped out the engine, made me fall in love with it all over again. Definitely a driver's car. Very slept on.

This thing rips! Nice review

I love this thing. Wish I had asked Kevin to let me drive it before he traded it lol such a solid build
