I bought my first 1993 MR2 Turbo in August of 2000. It was white, with about 82,000 miles on it, and was in good condition. It was completely stock, with the exception of some awful Goodyear tires.

I put a lot of work (and $$$) into this car in twelve months. Unfortunately, in August of 2001 I took an off-road excursion in Death Valley at about 70 MPH, resulting in serious damage to the structure and undercarriage of the car. It was totaled by my insurance company, and I bought it back as a parts car.

Below, I've listed the modifications I've made, in chronological order. Links jump to an Installation Guide guide for that modification. These guides are heavy with graphics, so be patient if you have a dial-up connection.
