Very nice...Cinnabar has such an elegant look about it - very tasteful mods...
.
I had the exact same MR2 - yours looks less pink than mine - you must wax it often. A fun little commuter it was...

My bad - either way I like it. You must have gotten lucky with the MR2 - my old one, plus the MK3 Supra Turbo I had were both red, and faded like crazy.

Low and Mid end, i need to make a custom box though, on some nights, you could really feel the difference, but if i've been running for awhile or when it's hot, it doesn't feel the same, a little sluggish.

looking really good as always bro!! Definitely one my favorite GS of all time...everything is just tastefully done Check you out at EOS hopefully....! I remember too you telling me about the MR2 last year at EOS, that you had picked it up as a beater over buying other mods for the GS.....definitely a sweet beater if you asked me
