For me personally, this article is a ‘memorable’ one, as it is written during the first day of Ramadan, or fasting month. At the time of writing this, I’m hungry, sleepy and tired, but then, these are not excuses for me not to finish this article on time. Although my eyelids are beginning to droop and at times the words just seems to be a blur, I would like to assure you guys that this article is not done in haste just to meet my date-line. Read on and you be the judge!
Looking at the photos of this MRS does conjures up an image of a plump, juicy orange, great for extracting juices that would be perfect as a thirst quencher for my “buka puasa”. Ok! Enough thoughts about food… concentrate man! OK, back to the story of this hot looking MRS that is owned by a certified MR2 / MRS junkie, Mickey, who has a garage full of MR2 / MRS and has a specially modified MR2 for autokhana – which he is a serious competitor.
This featured MRS is used primarily as a show car with no stones left unturned in turning it for this sole purpose. The small stature of this car is beefed-up with the installation of a custom built Monocraft GT300 widebody kit. This bodykit is inspired from the Japan GT MRS and further enhancement was made to make this little roadster look even better than a freshly rolled popiah. After this, the front and rear lights were replaced with DAMD light clusters and the stock soft top was replaced with a TRD hard top unit, which in my opinion is more practical in our hot humid climate. The tonneau cover which once held the rag top of this car was also replaced with a DAMD cover. As for the very interesting looking rear spoilers, it too is from DAMN, and I must say really does complement the new rear light cluster
