Franks Rev3 Turbo

Post by JDMfrank »

Recently picked this up, Needs some tidying up in places i think thats me being picky in fairness it looks to have been looked after well and has some real nice bits on it.

This was it the minute i got it home.

Interior, Has a Blue mr2.ie cluster that i dont know how i feel about but some pretty cool HKS gauges, Just again id like to move these to a more tidy location, Pity there currently screwed into the plastics.

Fair enough..

I wasn't long ridding it of the tacky bits :lol: Pulled off all the random stickers and front tow strap thing and gave it a decent clean including clay bar and a polish, wax. Paint is pretty good needs some fixing in spots but i'm happy for now. Here is how it looked after.

Excuse the phone pictures for now, Need an SD card but you get the idea.

Looks like a really good find to me :thumleft: White on white with the wheels looks a little arctic but otherwise that looks like a very clean, tastefully modified rev3 - not as easy to come by these days.

This thing has gone through some changes since I've got it, I've never been a big fan of fiberglass and ended up feeling the same on this one so went back to the OEM spoiler and removed the Greddy side skirts.

The car has plenty of small nigly bits that i've been sorting and tidying up over the last couple of months, I currently have the engine and gearbox removd to chase down a noise coming from the Box.

While it's out the plan is to Re-Gasket the engine and inspect everything, Tming Belt and all the typical service bits along with the HFH & HFHOE while i have it out.

I've been slowly collecting parts as they show up for sale. Including a new Boxed TOM's Gearknob, Some buddyclub P1's and a front TOM's strut brace.

nice indeed :thumleft: My gearbox used to rattle / whine something silly at idle in neutral but never got any worse and in the 100K+ miles I had the car it never failed :mrgreen:
