cheers fella :D Shes been a labor of love for the past two years :D The mechanics at the garage could not believe how clean she was, especially underneath. It likes brand new underneath 35000 miles from new :D

Just need a turbo mongoose and debating whether to take the racaros out and go for a nice set of of full leather seats and door cards to match. Right now i don't dare spend anymore as the missus will kill me!

Why would you get rid of those recaros? They are miles better than the stock seats! Leather is overrated imho, i'd rather have supportive comfy seats than leather.

Also i'd rather have that exhaust than a monoose. I mean if you dont want the seats and the exhaust ill have em....... :eye: :mrgreen:

To be honest, its just what i prefer. Always been a fan of the twin exit set up. The mongoose seems right for me for sound and looks. The recaros while they are nice no doubt imho don't look as good as the stock leather seats. But then i am an oem fanboy in someways! :D

I know the oem recaros you are on about, however these are different. The cars a GT so should have had half leather alcantara. However if i'm wrong i will shut up :oops:

Nice looking car :thumleft:

I have been looking at BC coilovers as a means of shedding a little bit of weight. How do they ride? I have read that they are quite a comfortable ride for coilovers?

The ride is quite comfortable especially compared to my old tein superstreets that i had on my other mr2.Going to have a play with the damper settings later on this week, just a bit of fine tuning needed!

draven and race idiot, the seats are staying sorry guys :lol:


Honestly got a shock when i find out they were fitted as an optional extra!
Rare and expensive apparently especially with the runners. I might get them re trimmed just to get rid of the insert pattern in the middle.

Bah! I mean i've already got one for my drivers seat, but its from an evo4 and the fabric pattern is different. Might be picking up another one with the correct pattern so I can have two different recaros :eye:

Another twist in the tale with the exhaust!

After checking the first three digits 039 it Turns out to be a sard exhaust now. Cant even find a picture of another mr2 with it on the net. Well we have gone from kakimoto, hks, and now sard!

Exhaust looks like a HKS Turbo. I had one on my old car. How did you come to Sard from "039" :-k
