Hi all, been MR2-less for around 16months, but always been hovering on the forums.

Couldn't let go

Having recently sold my R32 GTR I was on the look out for a nice MR2 again, I looked high and low for a number of months and eventually stumbled across Leons Rev4 tbar tubby converted car.

A viewing later and it was mine, thanks to fellow member mr2turbotom who came to view it with me, and of course thanks to Leon for keeping it in such great condition and thanks to Ollie and Luke at Sky insurance for sorting me out.

5days in, and having had 250+ miles of fun already, thought id start a project thread.

Now some may or may not know my previous cars which included a 301hp rev2 turbo and 403hp genuine rev5 turbo both of which were featured in mr2only magazine!
ive been a member of the mr2 forums for a good 8-9years and don't plan on leaving for a while yet!

The plan is to land this car in the middle of my old ones to keep reliability but clean fast fun in mind.

The car came with a blitz ebc, but I prefer my the profec B 2 so swapped this in today along with my AEM wideband to checking fueling

(which appears to be all good).

Ive also removed the insert on the HKS bov, much better sound IMO, also replaced the adjustable bolt to tighten up the spring a little more.
