What happened to the Techno Pro Spirits MR-S? - 2023 TPS Demo Car

Take a closer look with me at Japans famous Time Attack Toyota MR-S by Techno Pro Spirits known from the Hot Version/Best Motoring show.
I highly recommend watching ‪@TougeTime‬ 's Video about this car from 2019 first, hence this video is more like a Update of the current state compared to how it was back then. c:

It's so crazy to look at all these shops. I feel like every shop, that people visit looks so similar. They all produce these super nice and fast cars in an evoirement... like the crapiest lifts with the most rust on them, surrounded by just so much stuff, you can barely walk around the car, however they manage to work on it?!😅 I can't get my mind to how they even get the car in and out of the workshop😂 just unreal!

[@PlaneTMRS]

Yes right? Of course there are also different shops but from what I have seen up to this point I came up with the same questions. My current impression is that this is because many shops also focus on restoration and customer cars, for which many parts cars are used and stored with keeping many parts for this purpose. Also because of the aging generation of car people in Japan. These shops exist for a long time but the people running them nearly never change. So the current shops are simply similar if not in the same state for a long time already. For them it works and maybe with a missing following generation there is no need for change. That's how I would judge it from my oberservation, also based on the age of people I met and saw at the regular tracks. Mostly old people and only few young people in between. Kind of feels like dealing with an expected end of the hobby and sport in the not too far future, maybe just little will to expand. I have another video planned on a similar topic so stay tuned :D

[@amancars3807]

I think theyr not mere humans. I think theyr like demi-gods of the touge. And they simply teleport around the cars when completing work 😂 Hence why it is such high spec and high quality.

[@vltruane]

I agree, there so used to making everything high quality, it becomes second nature.

[@cwakadrake]

The manifold on the 2zz mrs that is for sale looks very interesting, bolts up to the 1zz downpipe but it's not like a MWR manifold. I asume they made the manifold themself, probably not something they actually sell which is a pity becouse the MWR is currently the only one for a 2zz that bolts up to the stock downpipe. Would not have expected that they used it on the stock 1zz downpipe if they went to the trouble to make the manifold, unless they also modified the flexi's to remove the restriction.

[@PlaneTMRS]

I'm pretty sure TPS sells this manifold! If I'm not mistaken they have one for the 1ZZ as well as 2ZZ. If you want one, there is a guy called "jdminformant" on Instagram. He works with Spirits to also sell this stuff to oversees 👌🏼

[@kevinjones3900]

I have a mwr manifold and it keept snapping flexys . So straight pipes went in place of them the cat got swapped for a single flexy problem solved.

[@OriginalAse]

Doesn’t PPE make one for the 2zz as well?

[@jiceli5713]

How much was the black MR-S!???

[@PlaneTMRS]

Good question, I wish I asked! 😭

[@endomoto1]

Hallo. Kennst du vielleicht einen guten online shop für den MR-S? 😊

[@PlaneTMRS]

Hi! In Deutschland gibt es wenig aber Monkey Wrench racing und Midship Garage aus Amerika haben viele Teile generell. Dann gibt's noch kleinere shops, zb vertreibt @jdminformant auf Instagram ein paar Teile von Techno Pro Spirits auch übersee, ich biete unter roadstars-automotive.de ein paar 3D Druck teile selber an und dann gibt's noch Leute wie @stingwrayrestomod on Instagram oder MWcomponents die ein paar teile anbieten :)

[@endomoto1]

@@PlaneTMRS vielen vielen dank für die hilfreichen infos. Grundsätzlich ist oder was es halt leider immer sehr schwer, etwas gescheites für den W3 zu finden. Die fahrzeuge werden weniger und das angebot sinkt dementsprechend. Bist du immer noch in Japan?

[@PlaneTMRS]

@@endomoto1 Beides Ja! Ich finde jedoch das aktuell das Angebot an aftermarket teilen tatsächlich zu wachsen begonnen hat. totzdem ist es aber immernoch wenig im Vergleich zu anderen modellen. Und bin noch am Start hier :D

[@sachadohc2912]

They engine was no problem until they touch MWR engine and part there trouble start because mwr are junk !

[@PlaneTMRS]

I’ve hear that some times now, is MWR really so inconsistent? I have no experience with them myself so I’m curious!

[@vltruane]

I wonder how dominate it is on the touge. It should now destroy just about, well, everything.

[@PlaneTMRS]

Actually a good question. I personally think the new turbo setup made it great for the track but the power is going to be unusable on tight roads while you lose performance to turbo lag. So I think this new setup is only beneficial for the track 😁

[@vltruane]

@@PlaneTMRS Good point. I didn’t think about the lag. It be interesting to see, it also has a sequential trans. Maybe one of these days they’ll do an update.

[@zzwk24]

They need better engine builders. MWR is inconsistent.

[@PlaneTMRS]

Seems like several people had problems with MWR, can you explain what the problems are? I have no experience with them myself

He needs to go k series instead of 2zz. He'll constantly run into problems with the 2zz

[@PlaneTMRS]

I mean the engine was broken fro a while already, who knows what he has planned next ;)

[@jamesst1809]

He already said he doesn't want to go k series because it's too heavy and will upset the balance of the car

[@matthewyang2792]

@jamesst1809 yeah but that's stupid cuz it's not heavy or much heavier all

Pero muy pocas personas tienen estás modificaciones todo el mundo el 90% dueños del mr2 mk3 hacen swap al k20 o al k24 y muchos incluso turbo,el 2zzge es un motor chino cutre poco fiable y problemático para potenciar además poco agradecido con las modificaciones

[@PlaneTMRS]

Yeah I know what you mean, I still think the 2ZZ is a great option for everyone who is looking into an easy swap to start! :D

[@joseguerra4520]

​@@PlaneTMRS Casi todos swap honda ya no es porque el 2zzge no tenga prestaciones esque se farata no tiene nisiquiera fiabilidad si calidad es cutre china Toyota a metido un buen engaño con ese motor

[@PlaneTMRS]

@@joseguerra4520 Seems like it was enough for Lotus to trust Toyota and use these exact "china" engines in the Elise :D

[@joseguerra4520]

​@@PlaneTMRSEl elise lleva Rover y todo el mundo hace swap a honda,el exige lleva el 2zzge pero Toyota después de las quejas de los propietarios por falta de potencia le instaló el compresor y aun así no quedaron satisfechos porque sigue siendo más lento que un k20/k24 atmosférico,aparte la fiabilidad el 2zzge tiene muchos problemas caja de cambios,piñón bomba aceite, desgaste tornillos de alzadas y no abre bien las levas,el Carter de aceite no esta bien tabicado y en curvas la bomba de aceite queda vacía y gripa, seguramente tenga más problemas es un motor con muchos problemas con lo que parece un motor de juguete fabricado en china. Los swap a honda en los mr2 los primeros fueron los propios japoneses.

[@PlaneTMRS]

@@joseguerra4520 I know all that ;D It's not like the 2ZZ is the only engine in the world with problems like that. And of course I also know about HALF WAY and their K series swaps on the MR-S. The K series are amazing engines and yes, they are superior to the 1ZZ and even 2ZZ. I however dont like to judge people who did something like build a fast car and tell them they should have done it differently. My MR-S has a 1ZZ so I'm not in the position to tell anyone what engine they should use :P But we live in a free world nowadays so you are lucky and you can just use what ever engine you want in your own car, isn't that amazing? :D
