SONIC SHADOW REBOOT - Kevin Underdown had unfinished business with the SW20, marking a milestone birthday with the purchase of a sonic shadow, mid-life crisis maybe? his story of nuts, bolts and welds captures the sentiment of an epic DIY restoration and his journey through the 2021 UK show season.
2ZZ SPRINT SERIES ROADSTER - Aaron Laverty fulfils a childhood dream building a track focussed ZZW30 and competing in the Javelin Toyota Sprint Series.
PURE BLITZ - Gerard’s super clean 93 turbo is for sure a head turner - testament that wheels maketh the car, no extreme styling here, just a set of iconic blitz o3’s, perfect blend of stance & subtle body styling that complement the slick & timeless lines of the sw20.
POWERED BY BEAMS - We’ve always wondered just how driveable the Mk1.5 (3SGTE) swap is, or can the AW11 chassis’s sweet spot be actually found with a 200bhp high revving normal aspirated lump. Leighton Davies confirms this with his red top BEAMS swap, Toyota’s power-plant that is nothing short of a work of art.
HOOPTIE X DIRT RACER DEUCE - David Hubbard’s crazy 300bhp 2GR uplifted SW20 is a bit of a handful but a lot of fun throwing huge rooster tails as it blasts across the sand dunes.

Most small packages cost under $40 to ship. Most small items that fit in an polybag costs around $5 or so for CONUSA shipping.
Our shipping calculator provides estimates and may not always accurately reflect shipping rates for larger items, oversized packages, or complex/multi-item orders. If you are unsure about the shipping cost or need assistance, please feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
We offer a range of competitive domestic and international shipping options to fit your needs and budget.

If an item is In Stock, it is ready to ship and will be packaged and sent out as quickly as possible.
Because many of our products are produced in limited quantities, popular items can sell out between production runs. With production and manufacturing lead times often ranging from 1-3+ months, unexpected demand can quickly deplete available and planned inventory, and waiting for future production runs may mean missing one—or even multiple—batches and facing a significant delay.
Pre-Orders help us accurately gauge demand and plan production quantities while allowing customers to secure their spot & receive their parts in a timely manner. This helps reduce delays and the chances of products selling out unexpectedly, while ensuring we can continue bringing more specialized products to the community.
Not all pre-orders are the same. Depending on the product, a pre-order may be for an existing product that is temporarily sold out or a new product that is still in development.
The product page will provide the most current estimated fulfillment timeline and any relevant project details.
Restock Pre-Orders — Existing Products
Many of our products are produced in limited quantities, and popular items can sell out between production runs.
If an existing product is sold out, we may open a pre-order for the next production batch. These products have already been developed and produced previously, but additional manufacturing time is required before the next batch is ready.
Pre-ordering secures your place in the next production run and ensures you don’t miss the next available batch.
Development Pre-Orders — New Products
Some pre-orders are for completely new products that are still being developed.
Developing a new product is a significant process. Depending on the complexity of the project, it may involve:
- Product design and engineering
- Prototyping and testing
- Tooling and mold development
- Fitment and quality/mold revisions
- Manufacturing preparation
- Final production and quality control
A single product can take 3 months to over a year to fully develop before it is ready for regular production.
During this process, prototypes, molds, fitment, or manufacturing methods may require revisions. If we identify an issue that does not meet our standards, we may need to make corrections before moving forward with production.
This can occasionally extend the estimated timeline, but we believe it is better to correct an issue before shipping rather than rush a product to customers that does not meet our standards.
We always aim to provide the best estimated timeline available at the time a pre-order is listed.
However, estimated dates are not guaranteed. Manufacturing schedules can change, and development projects may require additional time for prototyping, revisions, production, or quality control.
We do not believe in rushing production simply to meet a projected date.
Before a product ships, it must go through the appropriate manufacturing, finishing, fitment, and quality control processes to ensure it meets our standards.
If there are any significant changes to the estimated timeline, we will provide pre-order customers with updates as information becomes available.
Good products take time. We'd rather get it right than get it out fast.
Our goal is to continue supporting the MR2 community by developing new and unique products that may not otherwise exist.
Pre-orders and group buys allow us to better determine demand and commit to larger production quantities. Larger manufacturing orders can help reduce per-unit production costs, allowing us to pass a portion of those savings directly on to our customers while also helping fund the development of future products.
By participating in a pre-order, you are not only securing your product—you are also helping make new projects possible.
Depending on the project, participating in a pre-order or group buy may provide:
- Up to 20% off or more on future regular product price
- Priority access before regular inventory becomes available
- The ability to secure your place in a limited production run
- The opportunity to help bring new, community-requested products to market
Because pre-orders and group buys allow us to commit to production quantities, tooling, manufacturing, and product development, pre-order purchases are generally non-refundable once the order has been placed.
If you no longer wish to wait for your pre-order, you may have the option to convert the full amount paid into MR2 Heaven store credit, which can be applied toward MR2 Heaven-branded products.
Please note that pre-order fulfillment timelines are estimates and may change due to manufacturing, fitment, quality control, or other unforeseen development delays.
In the unlikely event that a product is ultimately unable to be produced or the project is permanently canceled, all affected pre-order customers will receive a full refund.
Thank you for supporting our projects and helping us continue to develop new products for the MR2 community.
