This at a little event this morn. First gen MR2. Honda 2.4 K motor with boost. 520RWHP at 23 psig, 8700 rpm. Weighs 2400 lbs.

Here she is in all her glory.

But wait a dang minute, that’s a red bumper and you needed chrome!

Vinyl wrapped.

Chrome in perfect condition. I’ll hitbackside with pressure washer and will be ready to roll. Soon as it gets above 40°, that is.

Detail shots of the tabs and how they insert into the bumper.

Glad your set finally Richard.

Michael is that muffler looking thing on the left side of the picture an air to water intercooler off the turbo?

23 psi is serious boost! Great hp/weight ratio yikes.

 

[Michael Yount]

You got it Chris - air-to-water inter cooler. He just made that change. It enabled him to get rid of about 3 feet of piping and increase the size from 2 1/2 inch to 3 inch. That change alone caused him to go from 18 to 23 psi. That’s how much he was losing in the other intercooler and all of the piping that he had to run. Picked up 50 rwhp.

Richard - so April then? 😂

 

[Leadsled Coupe]

Very sweet.

 

[Michael Yount]

Can’t imagine how much fun 2400lbs/500hp is

Edit.....or how much tire smoke.....

The "official" show photographer showed a little love to the 'Rolla this morning....

 

[Leadsled Coupe]

Great picture.

 

[Michael Yount]

I was parked between a 468 cubic inch GTO and a 454 Chevelle. Like a puppy meeting two big dogs, my car was shivering all morning.

 

[Leadsled Coupe]

Lol! But hold they handle as well as Rolla does?

 

[93Cobra#2771]

Lol! But hold they handle as well as Rolla does?

As long as the handle is a straight line, then yes. LOL

 

[Michael Yount]

Chris - what Richard said....

 

[Leadsled Coupe]

Well, that was my point actually. Red Bee would smoke them on a course I am sure.

 

[Michael Yount]

It would be like this -

 

[Leadsled Coupe]

Fantastic maneuver indeed. Lots of slip in that steering wheel wow.

 

[Michael Yount]

That 7.0L Galaxy hauls down the straight - but the minute the brakes/steering wheel com into play - the Cortina is back in the game.

 

[93Cobra#2771]

Bumper clean and bolted to the receiver assembly.

Now to bolt the entire assembly back on the truck. Six big bolts. Then license plate lights, mount the back up camera (drill a hole for the cable behind the plate), tidy up the wiring harnesses, then make sure it’s centered and tucked as best as it can be.

 

[Leadsled Coupe]

Can’t wait to see the final result Richard!

 

[93Cobra#2771]

Rain all day and 41° high. Won’t be today. I suppose I could back the truck in but still a pain with everything hanging from rear. Hopefully dries out tomorrow so I can stick it back together. Will require a jack to hold the assembly up high. Lots of adjustment available and of course it was all
The way to the top of the slots from factory lol.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the bumper was on before the bed was since it’s a part of the rear frame assembly and bolts aren’t easy to access. I’m fact, I’m almost sure that’s the way it’s done.
