Toyota MR-2 : The Romance At First Boost.

By Dmitry Vasenyov


Rob's romance with this nastily low and charming speedy MR-2 has been raging for many years now. It all started in 1999 (how long ago was it!) Then they first met. He then was a simple clerk in the town of Morec, in Slovenia, and she, a beautiful Japanese thing, just while back she was wheeling through the Italian streets. During a whirlwind like romance, as usual, he had tried all sorts of standard ways of courtship. In part- to somehow refresh his girlfriend, that was rather battered by that time and due to change of her residence. As soon as they went through the first dissatisfaction because of the decorations taken away, Rob even set out to sell Toyota, reassuring himself with the thought that it was realistic to buy the same model, but less worn out. But after some deliberation, he refused from such a hasty decision. The radiant sunshine coast and the green lawns in front of the house had brought up memories of the faded love for driving fast and doing sharp turns.

Rob decided to start the tuning process with the wheels. After a brief search he had ended up with the five-way 17-inch BBS with the popular Toyota MR-2 rubber to just get more good-looking contours.

And the pace was getting even faster... After the trial drive through the city, Rob has decided to tune up almost all of the body parts of his pet. Because the vehicle had entered the second decade of her age, it was necessary to undergo an urgent interference of each of the nodes. The entire tuning team was engaged. This was a technically demanding operation of the machine, the efforts of local assistants were introduced in an almost perfect way. After a long and arduous months of work, the nature of MR-2 got some cocky traits, and no one had to worry now in terms of the reliability of the vehicle (which was most significant).

And it's not the end yet... Immediately after the deserted pavilions auto the show took place, the work on "Targo" had been resumed. Quivering our heart, the vehicle moved briskly along country roads, and altogether entered into a baffling tuning office to continue the feast. After numerous polishes, balancing, relief, implants and other rituals, the motor could freely spin right up to 12,000 rpm! The bright sparks had now instantly glimpsed from the new coil and down to the spark plugs, igniting the younger heart of the auto. Wasn't it just another reason to get in love again?

Yes! The car had finally been painted in a quality manner. In just two colors. Now, in reflection of the blue azure of the body sides and the black anthracite, the bonnet reflected the blue of the skies and green lawn near the house that had long ago in Rob's mind awakened a desire to give the machine a second life. So, if you ever visit the Slovenian coast, you may well get the double silencer deep uterine sound and learn in the passing of the blue fighter, the outlines of the car that now looks at you, and you must realize that this story of the new "ugly duckling" will definitely be continued.
