CBRPNK MR2

Post by CBRPNK »

Hi team,

I'm Chris had MR2s over the years but mainly rubbish I got for cheap, Auto non turbo options.
For years I have been keen to get a manual turbo, I even have a body kit in my garage waiting to go on.
Well now I have her. Purchased from Wellington, this poor girl now lives in Franklin, North Waikato/Auckland (depending on the situation). Anyone know any info on her please share happy to hear.

For the exterior I have my CBRPNK plates about to go on her, the body kit ready to be fit and then need to get her a paint job and under glow 8)

Interior was a bit rough but she will get a birthday. She now has a nice new pinkish/purplish steering wheel, pink shift knob.
Soon to be added: new touch screen stereo, some led's inside to show off when parked up.

Nice looking car, love a turbo and looking forward to your twist on a bodykit when you get it all up and going. If you're looking for replacement fogs, the old FB group is planning on organizing a group buy for cheap.

Anthony Jordan on Facebook is organizing it. They should equate to around $98 per pair.
Likely the same make as the ones on Prime MR2 which are listed at USD$189 per pair.
Heres a link to his profile; https://www.facebook.com/WairoaboyNZ

Hit him up on messenger and he'll invite you to the group chat.

Number plate officially on her.

WELCOME CBRPNK MR2

Spikey wheel nuts to match the wheels bolts and pink/purple neon interior has begun.

Also cool heart hangy thing which when new twin exhaust arrives will be relocated.

Bodykit ready to be fitted and painted. Will need different tyres and a tune also. Smokey fog lights and hopefully custome LED taillights.

New update, she is over heating like crazy.

Mate said might be air in radiator lines stopping it from cycling.

Any thoughts?

Brilliant ride and quick as a cut cat.

She has been entered into the 4 and rotary 2022 at the end of January. Sat = Meremere, Sun = Track fun.
So given she has a date to prep for I figure I better fit her in a new out fit.
New Shoes and threads were brought to her to dress in.
