Hello!

[platmatt8]

Colour and car looks great in grey, although I am biased.

Grey is awesome.

I like grey cars.

So here's the spec. I just added up the total cost to build this car and it's £18k excluding the cost of labour and the original 3sgte rev3 engine out of my yellow one. Yikes! Got a great deal with sky insurance and will hopefully get the agreed value setup soon.

Anyway here's the engine spec:

It's also had new seats, brakes, subwoofer, touch screen, guages, steering wheels, skirts etc etc fitted. I'll hopefully transfer my plate back onto it soon and get some good use this summer before i take it off the road for the winter.

Yeah I checked out your 2 today. Looks very nice

[Race Idiot]

Haha wow, I was wondering whos car that was at the memorial. Looked soooo mint!

Man those brakes are mahooosive!

I think I may have bought parts off you years ago so I think we met but it was such a long time ago haha.

[Rory]

I've seen your car about at Luke's old place I remember. I think I even asked Luke if you would sell it to me lol.

I think we've met before also. Spoke to a few people on Sunday but didn't get to you. Next time maybe.

I was also wondering who this one belonged to.. nice car dude, Luke would have been all over it as well.. thanks for coming on Sunday. We'd like to do it again next year as well

Quick update:

The stock rear engine bay brace wouldn't fit due to the turbo position. So I hunted down a cuscu brace and fitted that. Also picked up a dirt cheap berk twin exit with the intention of cleaning it up and polishing. It also had a problem of what sounded like the internals having colapsed. So I cut a square in each can and removed the part of the interals that had come lose. Then welded it back up.



Unfortunatly no ammount of wire brush and polish would bring it back to anywhere near decent looking. So I've painted it matt black with high temp paint. The Nur Spec is as good as new still but I fancied something not as loud and boomy.

Also fitted a later spec MR2 steering wheel and I prefer to the aftermarket one.

Also test fitted an aerowave splitter to complete the car. I'll hopefully get that to the bodyshop soon for paint.









The pieces lose inside







The exhaust partially wire brushed up

[Rory]

I'm loving the sound of the berk. Sounds a bit more throaty and not as boomy as the nur spec. When I cut it open I was actually shocked that there's nothing in the way of baffles inside. It's pretty much straight through so will flow well. I also heat wrapped the mid pipe that runs under the engine bay to hopefully reduce the heat soack in the engine bay.

[mrfil13]

Stunning MR2.

The Berk is a great exhaust, similar to the dep 2 std.

[Rory]

Yeah I love it. I used a bbq paint on it so not sure how it will last. The car is a garage queen that doesn't go out in the wet so I'm sure it will be ok. Only time will tell.

[Rory]

Finally had the front splitter painted and strengthened. I also added the Nur spec again. I love this car. Gave it a quick wash and took a few photos. The paint job still looks awesome!

[pistol pete]

that is a lovely looking two!!!
