APEX ATTACK 2GR MR2 Build Breakdown 2024
It's been a year, I'm sorry.
I haven't updated the blog or website (apex-attack.com) in a year. A young family, budding career, and everything else life throws at you has gotten in the way. BUT, the passion for track focused driving is higher than ever. I have been continuously developing the car into what I think is one of the best track MR2s built.
I could not have done it without the amazing aftermarket support the community has. Mostly:
Wilhelm Raceworks - wilhelmraceworks.com/
Frankenstein Motorworks - frankensteinmotorworks.squarespace.com/
We have more planned for the car this winter, and I will start with more frequent blog updates!
Thanks for watching, No Ego, All Fun!

Thunderhill West CCW MR2 V6 1:20.6!
Просмотров 6933 месяца назад
Finally made it to a Cali track! Was able to put down a respectable 1:20.6 during the Ongrid Motorsports Meetup. Good enough for 2nd place overall. Not super happy with this lap, looks like there was an easy 1:19 possible with better hairpin exits instead of wheelspin city. More to accomplish next time. This track is really fun, relentless and rewards commitment! 1993 Toyota MR2 2gr V6, approx ...

New Lap Record for the Toyota MR2 Chassis! 1:43.808 Had to dig deep for this lap and it was a pretty good one (besides the mis shift into the thumb). Hot (75 ambient) 3pm session was last timed session for Ongrid Time Attack event 6/8/24. Needed a 43 to clinch second place in Unlimited class and we got it! 1993 MR2 2500 pounds with driver 2grfe V6, mild cams, 7800 rev limit (320ish? WHP) Full b...

The Ridge 1:46.1 MR2 V6 (P1 race class at Ongrid)
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.2 года назад
It's funny how tame a fast-ish lap can look. This was supposed to be a banker lap, but ended up being my fastest of the event. As you can tell, I was fighting the tires, it seems I was running out of bite (and heat cycles). There's a few passes and early braking, my predictive timing wasn't even working that session yet. Oh well, ended up as my fastest of the day, P1 in class, P3 overall. We'll...

Finally, something that isn't just a lap around a track. I give you guys all the details of my build from the last 5 years. It's long, so bear with me. If you like the minutia of a track car build, you'll love this. If you don't, there's some rad driving at the beginning and end of the video. Still have questions? Shoot them in the comments.

Got to have some fun with a super car at my last track day. Owner was an awesome guy and we were both having a blast chasing each other. You can also see what I’m thinking through a lap at Pacific.

What was once a super intimidating track to me is now becoming one of my favorite challenges. After a five year hiatus I ran a few sessions here last year to test the car before GTA Ridge. I was happy with a 1:34.4 shakedown. This time I had five sessions to really learn the track again at a new pace. After a few 1:31.0s on the Yokohama a052 and fighting traffic all night I threw on the Hoosier...

After finally breaking into the 1:49s on street tires (A052) I tried out my scrubbed in A7s for a few laps. Grip was outstanding. This somewhat leisurely lap came in at 1:48.3. Car is a 2gr V6 powered SW20 MR2. Wilhelm koni coilovers, big brake kit, and basic homemade aero.

Apex Attack MR2 - Global Time Attack The Ridge 1:52 Hot Lap
Such an awesome build!!
Wow, 2 stage v tech
how is this set compare to lotus vs Porsche handling?
Hi Mike love the New video you have been an inspiration for my build you were the person that made me go the 2gr direction putting me on to Frankenstein my build is coming to fruition I started with a road car and now mine is the limit of what's legal to comply with road laws in New Zealand big thanks for posting these vids seen a few more ideas there one day I'll compile my pics and vids and post up my car nearly there cheers John from Taranaki New Zealand
You are one of the inspiring mr2s on my decision with me going to 2gr route.
One of the baddest mr2 in the world!!! Hands down!!!
What an awesome set up, can i ask you how do you lift the car? i see those anchoring things in the side skirts and I'm really curious, I've never seen anything like it
Awesome build!
so when am i tossing a motor together for it hmmmmmmm
It’s on the stand ready for ya!
Great build man, and awesome garage set up
how big is your garage? looks like the perfect size for a home setup
hey mike. may i ask how much extra clearance is offered by the madpsi front fenders? ive got flares that add about an inch and its not quite enough for my ridiculous 275/35 front tyre setup
Love your car Mike and all the quality work you've put into it. The attention to detail really shows and you drive it well, too. Keep it up!
The heat pattern on the rear rotor tells me that you could use a heavier rotor as that one is collapsing
This is awesome. What does she weigh?
Your car is sick and I'm jealous of your garage. 😄
Beast of car Mike… amazing build…🤤🤤🤤🤤
Very nice!!
It's not actually brake bias if you adjust it with prop.valve. For real BB 2 separate master cylinders needed. Nice car.
Prop valve is, in fact, brake bias.
Kinda, but not exactly. What you adjust with prop valve is knee point at what pressure flow will start to be limited. Until this point bias will be 50%. True bias is adjusted with F/R master cylinders ratio.
Awesome build! May I ask, what is the type/brand of the lift that you have?
@@sikrip it’s a maxjax
My kind of 🟠⚫🔞 😂 Best SW20 build worldwide
Very cool! it's good to see the breakdown of all your work. Question: Did you notice the difference in shifting times witht eh E350 vs the old E153?
@@mrkazman seems about the same. But the s350 is lighter and much cheaper.
@mikereed1231 ah. I've really started to notice my E153 locks me out of the next gear for a while before I can slot it in, and considering the lightweight flywheel etc. I'm running, I thought perhaps it's taking a while for the transmission to spin up or down to new speeds
how'd you make those jack points? those are pretty rad
@@AHS_motorsport they’re welded into the frame rails of the car
@mikereed1231 i need to replicate these. Just did a splitter and skirts on my car and jacking it up is now very difficult
Awesome Build Mike one of the Best!
Excellent. Those missing underbody strakes remind me of the RUclips video I saw about the Lucid Air Sapphire. It’s a long video, but about a half hour into the video their head of aerodynamics (a former F1 engineer) gives a tour of the underbody. It has two big macaroni-shaped fences that push air outboard to behind the front tires and two at the rear that do something similar. The front pair trips vortices that flow along the length of the underbody to act as virtual fences, plus increase crosswind stability. The rear pair protect against tire squirt so the rear diffuser can work harder. The other new trend with aero is Porsche and Ferrari using aggressive front diffusers. Porsche introduced the trick of a front DRS system for active aero. Ferrari’s flagship uses a triple element (!!!!) front diffuser. Since you have a front splitter and ducted hood…you’ve already got most of the components of the system. This is oversimplified, but you’d basically connect the bottom of the front diffuser to the hood vent.
You should replace the little triangle on the cat with the outline of a cat's head.
Did you cut and fit up the cage yourself, too? Or was it a weld-in kit?
@@grippgoat little of both. Bought a kit but abandoned it for the front half of it and built my own.
I stil find the sw20 better looking than modern sports cars including the emira.... When I get mine out of storage ( I live in apt :/ ) I always look at it with respect and love... No other car has ever made me feel that way.
wake up babe, mike reed posted a new mr2 build video
this is really the best SW20.
The 2GR always just sounds so angry and ready to cut your head off... It's by far my favorite engine I've ever heard IRL. It almost purrs but... also has a hint of hornet...
Really loved the last 4 corners! Keep going Mike! ✨✨
The sound coming out of this thing is absolutely sexy!! Great driving!
Great driving!
dsg when
2024 walk around when
I wish all 2gr motors sounded like that. Sienna and camry would of sold like hotcakes.
That supra was fast 👀
Great run impressed you were keeping up with what looked like a fully aero packaged new supra but like the new build can't wait to see your next build
H Y P E D ! ! !
Nice driving man, car sounds sooooooooo good...
That joy and happiness at the end is priceless! Congrats Mike!
Good to have you back Mike! ❤❤
Nice job man!!!
Good looking lap! It's awesome to see the excitement, and the track looks sweet!!
Nice job! Great lap.
Great driving. and love all the mid-lap hype man, "C'MON, LET'S GO!!"
Wooot. Congratulations Mike 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 that v6 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great lap Mike! Congratulations!!!
Awesome lap, congratz! Been wondering if one of those Toyota V6s would be a good swap for the BRZ. 🤔
swap the brz for an sw20! :D
