So, I decided to go ahead and go some basic window shopping on what it would cost to make my dream Toyota MR2 and it wound up being up near the $30k range, accounting for mods, parts, shop labor, and the donor car itself.

Ouch.

-$1,500 for non-running rust-free MR2

-$5,000 for K20A2 W/ 6-speed manual transmission

-$1,000 for custom shift linkage assembly

-$700 for custom mounts

-$300 for performance intake

-$600 for custom exhaust

-$5,000 for full supercharger kit w/ ECU

-$1,000 for coilover kit

-$800 for full brake system upgrade

-$1,500 for wheels and tires

-$400 for adjustable anti-roll bars front and back

-$600 for stage 2 clutch and lightweight flywheel

-$250 for short-throw shifter

-$400 for momo quick release steering wheel kit w/ hub

-$2,000 for Bride Euro II Cruz black seat x2

-$70 for Sparco Settanta shift knob

-$90 for Sparco Settanta Handbrake handle

-$1,000 for widebody bolt-on fender kit

-$600 for lightweight carbon fiber hood

-$2,000 for gunmetal gray paint w/ matte decals and hood

-$150 for hood pins

-Est. $2,000 for interior treatments (gauges, dash cover, etc.)

-Est. $4,000 in shop labor costs

And that's not even counting the little things that would pop up as I go. Again...ouch.

What are your plans? 88/89 with the S/C ripped out for a turbo would be it for me.

I edited the original post. I'm staying away from turbos (I'm a much bigger fan of superchargers) but swapping in a K20A2 with a comptech supercharger kit.
