1989 Toyota MR2 Supercharged

I regretfully have to sell my beloved 1989 Toyota Supercharged MR2 in order to facilitate a move across the country. I originally purchased this MR2 for $3000 in late 2013 in mostly stock condition. The previous owner claims the engine was replaced with a low mileage JDM 4AGZE engine, though I there is no proof of this. The chassis itself has 168,xxx miles on the clock and runs like a champ. I have title in hand and it is clean. I have done a good amount of work on this car as itemized below:
Koni Yellow Adjustable Shocks - $750
Toyota TRD Springs - $150
Street Technique Sway Bars (Front and Rear) - $150
Quaife 15:1 Quick Ratio Rack - $300
Poly-Urethane Bushings - $100
Camber Bolts - $30
Aftermarket Rear Tie-Rods - $100Front Frame Tie/Tow Bar - $80Slotted Rotors w/ceramic pads - $100
Rota Grid V 15x9 +0 offset - $900
245/40-15 Maxxis VR-1 tires (about 80% tread) - $600
Fender Flares - $700
Crank Pulley (more boost) - $350
Grunt Box - $200
K&N Filter - $30
Fuel System (rebuilt injectors, new fuel pump, new fuel filter) - $200
New Air Flow Meter- $150
New Starter - $80
New Heavier Duty ACT Clutch - $300
Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel - $200
C50 Transmission (to replace the heavy E51) - $200
Shifter Bushings & Short Throw Plate - $50
Aluminum Pedals w/Heel-Toe Shift Pad- $100
Intercooler Fan - $80
Lightweight Race Battery with Mount - $350
Custom Exhaust w/High-Flow Cat and Magnaflow Muffler - $350
Along with the cost of the car this all totals to $9600.
The car does has some negatives being a nearly 30 year old car. The t-tops do leak a little, but it is not really meant to be driven in weather. The A/C has been eliminated since the lines were bent up and the compressor did not work (that's what the -tops are for!). The cruise control was removed since it did not work either. The front driver side wheel bearing needs to be replaced but I have the bearing and am willing to do the work for the right deal. The exhaust is loud but it was the trade off for a lightweight system.
That said, the car tips the scales right around 2450; nearly 200lbs lighter than stock. The batteries are located in the frunk for better weight distribution. I say batteries because there are two ran in series to maintain startability for daily driving and parking without a trickle charger. The large battery is easily removable for race days. This is a ridiculously fun car to drive around and is amazing on an autocross course.

Reminder to everyone, this car is nearly 30 years old and has some minor dings and dents to show it. The photos are not doctored at all and show the true perspective when you take a step back. Up close the dents become more apparent.
