Veilside Spyder

http://www.urbanracer.com/features/veilsidespyder.html

Have long wanted this car for a while. Saw it in Import Tuner or other such rag a bit ago so now I'm just wondering who likes it and who doesn't. Personally, while not the fastest machines like their old TC'd brothers, the MR-S' are neat little machines.

hey, I think I might've seen this car on the road. Maybe not exactly the same. I saw it on the way to giant stadium. I like the car, but it's a bit small. hehe. Don't like small cars. That's why I chose lancer over sentra.

I "raced" an MR2 on the way back from HIN in AC...started from around 65-70 and he couldn't keep up when I took it up to a buck. That's kinda sad considering they have around 10-15 (estimated) more hp than me with my bolt ons and weighed about 1/3 less than my car.

Probably one of my least facorite Toyotas ever made.

well the mr2 being a convertible makes it really bad in high end speeds... but i think cuz its lighter and has like 10-15 more hp flywheel... it can jump to 60 faster... but i like the lancer a lot better...

Since we're talkin about the Spyder, here's mine:
http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4291635817
Just installed a Top Secret turbo kit and some lighter track wheels. The Veilside looks like ***, IMO of course. And they're not rare anymore. Played out already... RJ's got one, and i know like 8 other ppl in the US with it..
Mine's TRD widebody.

Any bay area ppl here? I'm in south bay...

True that. You're paying for the name. Their turbo kits are waaaayyyy overpriced.
