You guys couldn't believe that I'd be without a toy for myself, for long....
here it is:
It was a friend of mines, he built it to what it is now. It was originally an n/a automatic.

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

regular MD format can be compared to regular audio files. MDLP would be some what the equivalent of mp3 files. at least thats how i understand it. my MD deck doesnt play MDLPs.

thats good.
is it faster than the 8?
how does power/handling compare between the 2?
Oh...she's faster than the 8......100-200 lbs lighter, more power.....turbo torque.....
handling...well...the 8 is just so easy to drive at the limits...the MR2 in experienced hands will put up way better numbers....me, this is my 1st turbo powered car, and 1st mid-engined car....I have a lot to learn.
