Highly Modified 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder: Today’s Used Car of the Day

Looking for a highly modified convertible runabout? Look no further! Today’s Used Car of the Day is a 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder that has undergone significant modifications to enhance its performance and style.

Powerful Upgrades

This particular MR2 Spyder was purchased in 2010 and has since received a major upgrade. In 2014, the original engine was swapped with a 2z engine, and a six-speed transmission was installed. These upgrades significantly enhance the car’s power and driving experience.

Impeccable Condition

With only 109,000 miles on the odometer, this MR2 Spyder has been well-maintained and cared for. It has been garaged throughout its life and has never been driven in the snow. The front end has been repainted to address rock chips, ensuring that the car looks as good as it performs.

Extensive Modifications

In addition to the engine and transmission swap, this MR2 Spyder boasts an impressive list of modifications. Upgraded headers, exhaust, flywheel, and clutch contribute to improved performance. A cat-less downpipe, midship and front and rear bracing, carbon-fiber strut-tower bars, modified springs and shocks, performance brake rotors, and steel-braided brake lines further enhance the car’s handling and braking capabilities.

For added convenience, the car comes with an MR2 luggage set, perfect for weekend getaways or road trips.

Minor Issues

While this MR2 Spyder is in excellent overall condition, there are a few minor issues to note. The convertible top has a couple of rips, but they do not cause any leaks. The driver’s seat shows some wear, which is expected given the car’s age. The check engine light is constantly on due to the lack of a catalytic converter. There is also a paint chip on the rear bumper. Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that the rear storage compartment does not have doors.
