K Reg Black MR2 T-bar G-limited Rev2 with Rev2 turbo engine conversion.
12 month MOT and taxed until the end of April.
The car has 135k on the clock, as far as I know a lot of that is KM from when it was imported from Japan in 1998 and pretty much most of the car has been replaced since.
The engine conversion was done at 120k by Luke aka skywalker and the engine has now done 57k miles.
When I bought the engine a compression test was done on it and showed 180psi across all 4 cylinders, just before Christmas I had it done again by skywalker and again it still showed 180psi right across. The turbo is never used until the oil is up to temp and the car is left to idle before switching it off.The Mods

Heater hoses from hell were bypassed due to them leaking.

+ other bits Ive probably forgotten about.The bad bits.
Unfortunately these cars are never perfect so heres a list of a few things.
The front Anti roll bars are knocking despite only replacing all 4 a year ago.
The bushes could do with replacing at some point, this maybe reduced the front ARBs lifespan.
Replacing the bushes will make a nice difference on the handling though, its just something I never got around to.The aircon does not work, I replaced the front aircon radiator as that was leaking but then found another leak, every time it gets warm enough to want to fix it it gets cool again
(or I stop been lazy and take the T-bars off).The main and last
bad bit, nearly two and half years ago I had an accident in the car which the insurance class as a CAT C write off, I bought the car back from them and used the money from the claim to repair the damage. The damage was superficial but meant I had to replace the 2 front wings and doors. In all the wings, doors, bonnet and roof was resprayed, the windscreen was also replaced. The paintwork was in fantastic condition and still is now.Some Pics
