Been following this build for years and every update you’ve performed spyderlee has never fallen short of impressive. The worlds #1 mr-s aero tuner without a doubt. When your looking to upgrade your radio, look into the midship garage center console. Game changer for modernizing the interior . Cheers
Thank you for dropping the soft top and showing her topless, SpyderLEE. A great video as always, but I prefer that little rear lip rather than any wings. I always find the sound of unclipping my roof, followed by retraction and flooding sunlight makes my tummy do funny things (though that may be an allergy to shellfish). I'm not certain if I've mentioned this, but I once tried shagigng mine. Is that normal?
Absolutely stunning work Lee. Without a doubt one of the best examples of the spyder in the world. My first influence and still my favourite to this day. The colour looks stunning. It's as if the car has matured into something more serious. I eagerly await the discussion video on the new powertrain. 😎 Also keen to know what plans you got for the camper 💪🏽
Lee, love the channel and all of the different iterations of the car. Where did you buy (or did you make) your rear bonnet? I tried looking back through the older videos and must have missed it if you mentioned it. Thank you!
Beauty! Can you share with me your wheel and tire sizes? I just completed the same widebody kit, following a 2zz & supercharger swap. Doing everything myself as well. Had 7x17 +38 offset with 215/40-17 and 235/40-17 to match stock fenders. Now looking at 9x17 +20 or +25 offset to move everything out about 38mm to 43mm to reach the widebody, without spacers. Thanks
Looks amazing 😎 for the seats, I’d go with S2000 seats. Best mod I’ve done to mine👍 Relatively easy to fit with much more support than mr2 or Celica seats.
No wing…..! If you desire a wing get a lower profile wing or duck tail type . Also I’ll take off the homemade wingettes/splitters & diffuser. The body kit is the ISH and it sets it off nicely with the wheels! Also I like the candy apple color the best on your car and the grey is second…! Your car looks awesome!
Dude awesome color! I just got my 01 Spyder last week and I’m pumped there are mr2 enthusiasts like yourself showing interesting and high quality content!! Thank you!
I have said it before but your MR2 is amazing and I will be using it for inspection when I get one my self. With the soft top on the duck tail looks just right but when the hard to is on I like the wing with that comes through the slits that are cut rather then the other one.
Always make my aesthetic mind up using a practical tie-break. If the wings are functional and provide stabilty, then I would imagine the chassis mount is more rigid and secure, so stick with that. It also looks cleaner, with less bracketary. Never sell it, you'll regret it, no other car gives you as much bang for the buck in terms of its exotic nature. Maybe you(and I) could be happy with an exige, but at that price we'd be scared to use it. My red 2003 is off the road at the moment, and it hurts like hell!
It looks sooo good now after you did this 'overhaul'!!! 😃😃😃 That gray hits so different, than the dark burghundi it has befor. Comes more serious and solid to me in a way.😁😁 Also packed with all the other parts you upgraded the little one, there stands a kinda often underestimatet steet machine in your drive way. Wish ya a LOT of fun with the MR2 and always save roads and rides. 🙃🙂😁😎😎 (personally I wouldn't change a thing after this new look, and for sure not changing the engine to a V8, like you'd mention you had that kind of idea^^, it's kind of "a little bit nuts" for me chaneing the current engine setup to another that is in the end far more heavy for the engine alone, than the whole pack of engine + bold on stuff + gearbox in present...😅😅 So for me, that whould not only ruin the wheight balance, which is garanteed realy good now (I say: front 45 / back 55 :D), to a back-heavy rubber burner, haveing more hp and torgue but can't get it propperlyon the road now and has newly to deal whit a new hump of weight in the back, that sickence the former high agility in corners and turns to a heavy 'fat ass', that whould come quite nervous/unstable due to cornering or in sharp turns (overall heavier. weight lays in the back, powers can't be delivered onto the road in a good usage) because the back arewa now wants to force itself more to the outer cornerside, so the risk of oversteering would much more increase, what's untypical to the W3s and not a 'nor,al' behanior, compared to prior setup. :) Like I said, that are only my views.^^ And adding to these, I haven't even put the amount of cash that all would cost together...😅😅 So to end my view, it'll cost a not now known amount and would not have any benefis but cons such as more weigth, 'weaker' weight distribution and less agi. (the maybe more hp aren't a benefit to me, if I can't make an atvantage of them because of +weight and -agi. But also for me it would be nice to see such a fited combination in an MR2 Roadster, I've to say.😁😁🤪😇)
What about the upgrades to the 1zz? Never happened? I was looking forward to see how it performed. I am undecided between a BUILT 1zz or a 2zzfor my car.
A wing is a tool,. Otherwise, nice car! I like Japanese cars because of their reliability, and Japan can also build enthustiast cars. This one is a good example of that, as it looks like it's been modified in the right way as well.
Love the color! But the custom 'bonnet'! That is the best. Really sets the car apart, nice job. Frankly, I never know which end of my Spyder to call the bonnet! Anyway the dovetail spoiler looks beautiful with the other body modifications you have done.
I have the same turbo, but with forged conrod and wiseco 8.8/1 pistons and a apexi pfc.......i designed adapters to use brembo front calipers ( clio Rs) ......its better and more easy to find good brake pads
I think it looks fantastic with the ducktail right now with the roof off. Though I do agree with the top on it does look a bit empty. I remember at some point you had a wing with support bars and lines, which I thought looked mad too. But I can't really find that video right now
@@SpyderLEE ahh I see. In that case I think the wing that's mounted at tail light level looks best. Honestly with every iteration of your car I think it's the best yet. Then you change it and I get disappointed, only for me to like the new version even better :P
Any one know where I can get a gas tank for this car? mine rotted and have not been able to get another, tried toyota, tried almost every junkyard, and they all have the same problem with the gas tank.
Which style wing does everyone prefer?
No wing for me, car is riced up just right.
Ducktail spoiler
No wing, much classier looking with ducktail.
2nd style, that goes through the bumper.
Chassis Mounts is awesome (the one where you cutted the slits on the bumper. Mainly because you did it right and the wing is as wide as the car.
Leave the big wings off, looks better with the ducktail. Love the content on this and the camper, can't wait to see what's next 😀
Cheers. Got loads of plans… time is the thing I struggle for!

Thanks… will do

Nope nothing wrong with that 😝
What color is this
Vw indium grey

Camper is going to mature a little too. Lowered suspension coming off, more off road styling 👍
Leave the ducktail on
It’ll definitely be left left on. Just might have the wing on too sometimes… maybe
Such a beauty.
That looks so much better in grey, with the ducktail. I was never a fan of that massive wing you had before.
It’s looks much better when the roof is down with no wing. See how I feel when I put the hardtop back on. 😁
Lee, love the channel and all of the different iterations of the car. Where did you buy (or did you make) your rear bonnet? I tried looking back through the older videos and must have missed it if you mentioned it. Thank you!
Vents were from ropey racing but I’m not sure if they are still doing business or not
@@SpyderLEE Thank you!
Who sell a car like that
J- spec Andy is the main man when it comes to spyder parts.. I shipped me a 2005 engine over here in France... In mint condition....

Everyone hates these so trying to make them cool 😎👍
Not sure what Europeans consider supercars but this is just a toyotamr2 spider with a turbo, nice build but no supercar. But still a nice build
Ducktail for me and can i have first dibs on your engine please for my Turismo Avalanche GT
Dovetail hands down. I'm from the older generation of drivers and have learned that subtle is better.
Car is so gorgeous I’m really wanting one for a project car, my dads a mopar guy I’m so tired of muscle cars lol
looks awesome, I've been running 6psi while I tune mine, 280hp will be rapid
It’s definitely fun 😝
I have said it before but your MR2 is amazing and I will be using it for inspection when I get one my self.
With the soft top on the duck tail looks just right but when the hard to is on I like the wing with that comes through the slits that are cut rather then the other one.
Looks good but you should seriously get the speedster aero humps that fit over the folded down soft top.
Badass car mate. Do you ever take it to the spyder meets round the UK?
After you swap the engine you will need more huggy seats i belive. 👏
You gonna join me in the turbo VR6 swap club?
is it me or is your starter making noise at not disengaging after you start the car at 9:08?
I just uploaded another video today also just had my coilovers come today
No big wing ducktail is much better
What body kit was this? Anyone? Thanks
Hi, your car looks awesome mate!
The first wing attached down low or no wing.
Looks better without the obnoxiously big wing
Give a look at the Frankenstein Motorworks channel.
He's using the Toyota 2AR engine - 8,000+rpm, close to 300hp.
Well done!
Yes they do some good stuff 👍
TOYOTA🤣
Cold Start just jump in and go🙈🙈
#i_died_inside🙆🏻♂️
The power of video editing! 😂
This is a awesome looking build man! I am planning on getting a spyder for myself!
Nice one 😁
i guess the v8 swap never happend

My fab mod is painting headlights black with silver ring ..makes massive headlights bit subtle
I got a Turbo SW20 and haven't much cared for the Spyder, BUT yours is changing my mind on it
Run the ducktail looks really good buying one Monday very excited
brilliancy
Great car , video and tunes think the wing looks best fixed at the boot lid. Keep up the fantastic work on both the mr2 and dub cheers.
Looks terrific Lee, for what it’s worth, I’d stay with just the ducktail spoiler
Such a clean and great build! This is what I want for my spyder!
Great work thanks for the share , this one is one of those i will love to see with a VictorRacing spoiler
You should manufacture and sell custom parts like midship garage does
wana sell
How is the carbonfiber heat shield plate mounted above your exhaust?
It’s ok but it’s aluminium with a carbon wrap.
@@SpyderLEE but how is it mounted? 🤔
Looks awesome love the spoiler that you have on now rather than wing
I have the same turbo, but with forged conrod and wiseco 8.8/1 pistons and a apexi pfc.......i designed adapters to use brembo front calipers ( clio Rs) ......its better and more easy to find good brake pads
Sounds interesting 👍😁
Hey Lee, where did you get the bonnet vents from?
Thanks for continuing to take us along on your adventure
Love your work
Great video mate, defo the ducktail...I'll dispose of the big wing for you 😜. Did someone say V8 😁
😉 😂
Nice Porsche
I’m not a fan of MR2s but this one is awesome!
K swap turbo next🤔
much more interesting and much rarer (if ever) 😉
Nice one what's your new engine?
amazing looking car
Thanks 😊
😝
Looks mega probably best uk .. 2.4 honda is it Lee hope so you should be very proud 👏
Nope not a Honda 😜
Been looking for an MR2 of my own and this thing is great inspiration! Looks awesome!
Thanks 😊
I like the looks of the car as it is now more than ever. Really gorgeous.
Thanks 😊
I think it looks fantastic with the ducktail right now with the roof off.
Though I do agree with the top on it does look a bit empty. I remember at some point you had a wing with support bars and lines, which I thought looked mad too. But I can't really find that video right now
Yeah they did look good. Only issue I have is I sold that wing and legs. They don’t make it anymore. So bit of a pain.
@@SpyderLEE ahh I see. In that case I think the wing that's mounted at tail light level looks best.
Honestly with every iteration of your car I think it's the best yet. Then you change it and I get disappointed, only for me to like the new version even better :P
Any one know where I can get a gas tank for this car? mine rotted and have not been able to get another, tried toyota, tried almost every junkyard, and they all have the same problem with the gas tank.
J-spec will have one and do ship international but not sure if the shipping costs wouldn’t make it horrible. Get in Contact with them 👍
@@SpyderLEE thanks for the reply, already sent them an email
I think they are on holiday at the minute so might be a little slow replying
Looking great mate
sick mr2
are you selling it? how much?
