Lovely mate, looks as good as it did at Jae04!

Thanks Red, the rear bumper was changed about 4 years ago for a UK one which I much prefer to what was on it back then.

Looking through the receipts the owner back at JAE04 had it until 2007 and I'm pretty sure he imported it from Japan in 2001. Have loads of receipts with his name on it.

Yeah it does fit perfectly. On the storage bag that came with it, it says it's a Cover Zone Voyager. Part no. CCC223.

Just a good service really, I'm getting Peter to do the fuel filter and O2 sensor next week.
Going to get a standard airbox and see what it sounds like. Going to look at doing something with the drivers seat because the foam has dropped on the centre bit you sit on. Other than that just enjoy it.

Is there anyone on here that can explain the Blitz DSBC? I have got instructions for it but the values given are for a 3000GT?

Just ordered all the fluids from Opie. Gone for some Gulf Formula 5w-40 which I will run for a few weeks and make sure everything is ok. I've got some Gulf Competition 5w-40 to put in after that. Have got some MT90 to put in the gearbox as well. Everything's 15% off ATM on opie so it makes the gulf competition under 40 quid.

Have also got some spark plugs and a standard airbox on the way as well. Got an oil filter from Peter and a bush bearing kit so just need a standard Toyota air filter

So have I

It's already got the blitz boost controller which I'm told is one of the best. I've got a receipt for the turbo and its only done about 10000 miles on it. It's got Teins suspension which has also only done 10000 miles. It looks exactly how I want it to so I can't see that many modifications happening. Just got to get it running 100%, give the interior a good clean and polish out some light scratches and then I will be happy as it is

...And then the boost goes up and the cooling gets better and the wheels get wider

A few pics after a wash, I'm always nervous washing a new car because you see every little imperfection, but there are only a few little bits that I will sort over time so very happy with it

Looks great!

Thanks Red

Washed 4 cars today and my girlfriend seemed to think I spent more time on this than hers and my other two

I hate washing cars. Mine and the missus' corsa are filthy!

Think the last time I washed the MR2, was JAE 2012.

I don't mind washing them but I can't stand polishing a car.

I hate that even more!

In general, I hate cleaning cars full stop.

Would definately prefer to go for a blast can't understand people that clean their cars so much they trailer them to the shows. Think I hate cleaning my house more though

I prefer cleaning my house to my car, although I prefer to be a slob and drink beer

Got the house to clean tomorrow.
