It was a friend of mines, he built it to what it is now. It was originally an n/a automatic.
Here's what it got:

Toda Chromoly Flywheel (4.5 kg)
Spec Stage II Clutch
Apex'i Intake
Ceramic CT26 turbo
Timing Belt and Water Pump replaced during swap
93+ Suspension from rear clip
New Strut mounts (all 4 corners)
New hubs and bearings (all 4 corners)
OHLINS 20 level “2-WAY” adjustable struts (they go for around 210,000 yen, and Ohlins just recently discontinued the production)
TRD Springs
New 93+ turbo spec brakes (front and rear, calipers and rotors)
Project Mu Brake Pads
98 Steering Wheel
Sard Turbo Timer
Bright Amber gauge cluster lighting, on stock faces
1 DIN Cupholder
Sony Headunit, MD player with 6 Disc CD Changer

Nice ride man!
I've wanted to messs around in one of those for quite some time. I just don't know anyone that owns one. Maybe I'll try to make friends at the MR2 forum and drive their cars. :p

Justin, I'll see what I can do and we can meet up....man this car moves...defintely faster than the RX8...lot's of fun.
I do plan in autocrossing it....I'll see how many times I can spin it...I managed to spin the RX8, and that thing is very forgiving....
