We originally got an older MR2 to gain experience at autocross but my dad found this car and couldn't walk away. Its actually the first real turbo I've ever driven (stock Jettas don't count). Here are some pics (56K beware but they are thumbnailed) http://homepage.mac.com/ptrlib/PhotoAlbum4.html This car started life as a racer so it has been well modded. Can you say HKS? I'm still pouring through all the reciepts and manuals that came with the car. I can't wait to go for a drive. Peter 98 MTX SE sport TH fix Magnaflow muffler and res. KKM intake

I personally feel my dad over paid but he was hooked on the car. I spent last night looking over all the reciepts and this thing has had tons of money spent on it. I'll list everything that has been done: -two trips body shop (repainting) -rebuilt turbo -new clutch -full HKS suspension (JDM anyone read Japanese?) -HKS boost controller -HKS fuel cut defencer (rasies the boost limit) -HKS boost guage -Adjustable sway bars -header back racing exhaust (no cats, not installed) This car was used for racing early in its life so thats the reason for having the turbo rebuilt already and the clutch replaced. I'm just waiting for the next autocross so we can see what it will really do. 98 MTX V6 SE Sport KKM Mangnaflow muffler and res.
