boy does it drive!

You may notice it doesn't have the original front wheels on it, that is because we've already had our first near death experience, i gave one of the lads in the unit next door a go who had never driven anything like this before let alone an Mr2.

yep he binned it big style, span out at 40mph and mounted some concrete blocks, it was quite spectacular, but he broke a wheel, wrecked the rad, bent a tie rod, folded the steering wheel over and ripped half the floor up, he suffered a broken finger for his trouble, the guy can't drive worth a damn.

so my fault for giving him a go in it.

The damage has all been repaired now and i'm reluctant to let anyone drive it but me, the thing is an animal, the wheelbase is way too short, it steps out of line at the hint of oversteer/too much throttle, the power to weight is really naughty, it doesn't feel like a 1600cc anymore, this thing goes better than some turbo Mr2s i've driven.

Move the steering track rod ends closer to the centre of the hub, it needs less turns lock to lock, redrilling the steering arm and using a rosejoint instead of a track rod end is the answer there.

The brakes need improving, without a servo it's not adequate, remote servo is on the list.

The fly off hydraulic brake is amazing and flicks the car round with ease at the slightest pull, makes me see how woeful the stock mechanical Mr2 handbrake really is.

Fuel gauge is not calibrated properly, the Camry sender is out of whack with the Mr2 dash.

Change fuel pump to the 1zz type, the Camry one is massive overkill.
