TOYOTA
A Border front bumper and carbon-fiber hood give it a sharp, purposeful face!
A top-speed grip build packed with JDM tuning parts!!
The car is aimed at maximum speed on local raceways and mountain roads.
This grip-focused car is aimed at top speed. Its engine is packed with JDM-tuned parts: a Blitz intake, HKS blow-off valve, JIC exhaust, and a turbo unit transplanted from a 1994 MR2 onto a 1991 base. Power is plentiful. Border front and rear bumpers give it a wild form, so the exterior is as carefully considered as the mechanicals.
