Manav Dawar has no regrets when it comes to his 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo. “I’ve always wanted a 2-door and an MR2 is reliable, and I found a pretty cheap one,” he writes. “There is a lot more to this car than it seems.” Dawar has made his MR2 Turbo into his own with parts like a 3SGTE Gen 4 engine swap, Berk Technology exhaust, D2 Racing air suspension and molded RWB wide body flares. Additional plans include larger wheels, new spoiler and a turbo upgrade.
