[marc GT Turbo]

welcome back car looks great on those advans . any more plans for the car ?

[Taylor]

thanks buddy. its good to be back!

Plans are:

rev 3 front lip
Sideskirts (not too sure yet on which ones!)
and some spats for the rear.
i was thinking a black rev 5 spoiler with a carbon blade... but who knows yet

any suggestions on what to do next?

[BiGWiLlYsTyLe]

looks good so far mate,defo in the best colour

My car is the same colour and have TOMs sides and Phoenix Rear spats which fitted straight onto the back bumper

[Taylor]

Car looks awesome Will.

Should get yourself to a J.N.E Meet up at the Stadium of light next month (2nd sunday of every month)

hmm, do you have the other foglight so i could buy as a set?

[BiGWiLlYsTyLe]

I do but it doesnt work,i dont know if it can be fixed so if you wanted i could throw that in aswell with no extra expense.

Yeah i come through Sunderland quite often as my Family live near there so you will have to let me know the plans mate

[Taylor]

took these tonight ...

this is how the car looks as of like 2 hours ago











and a shameless plug

[Edwin]

Why did you take off the Sard bumper? Looked really nice.

[marc GT Turbo]

great pics

[Taylor]

Thanks Marc

Edwin, i took the bumper off as i prefer the standard front look... lips & fogs do it for me. big bumpers dont

bomex lip to come before xmas hopefully... hint hint

[Neil_turbo]

LOL - my last MR2 ended SUX aswell

[Taylor]

haha ideal!

Well i've just won some money at work & i'm going to treat the car to a Bomex style front lip but i wont have the money til end of this week. BOOO!!

M.O.T next month

[Taylor]

an update

well i didnt like the way the advans sat WAY in the arches.....

so i've replaced those with these toora's. which i think suit the car real well & fill the arches perfectly



fronts are wrapped in falken rubber. and the backs have 225 wide Eagle 1's


bomex lip still to come.
front fogs still need to be fitted, havent had chance yet
im debating one of these too..




i need some pointers, what should i do next?

a v6 will be on the cards next year too (probably back end of next year). so performance isnt the question

[paul_h]

nice choice of wheels although they do look better in real life

V6??? go turbo you know it makes more sense

UPDATE

well, two weeks ago i somehow blew my gearbox up on my car..

i bought a mint rev 3 black bumper & rev 3 lip for peanuts off here. thats now fitted.

anyway, since then i've bought a mint rev 3 gearbox from Toyota GT & 2 of my good mates have helped me out alot!!

old gearbox out, new gearbox in... within 6 hours. not bad considering noones done an mr2 before!!

while the old gearbox was out i noticed i have a Exedy stage 1 clutch !!! ideal.

parts will be painted this month, so keep an eye on this thread.

i'll post a pic up tonight of my gearbox

as it stands now, my spec list is:

Engine & transmission
Sard exhaust. (5zigen exhaust will be fitted this week!!)
Sard intake
Exedy Clutch


Exterior
Rev 3 bumper & rev 3 lip
Front Fogs
Purple tints

Suspension & Wheels
Toms adjustable suspension
Toms adjustable front top mounts
Uprated front ARB
Uprated rear ARB
17" Toora’s wrapped in GSD3’s & Falken ziex’s
APP Braided brake lines all round


Next up to come in this order:
De-tint the rear lights
Rewire the toblerones up, smooth wings (fill side repeater holes in)
Coilovers
Carbon headlight covers
Carbon bonnet
Carbon Boot
Carbon rear centre panel.
HID’s

Do people think carbon fibre will suit my car?

Cheers.

[BiGWiLlYsTyLe]

I have to be honest mate but im not a fan of a car full of Carbon


I think the bonnet looks good and maybe a REV 5 spoiler with the Carbon parts but other than that im not sure but each to their own.

Do you want the Carbon for the looks or for the weight properties?If its just because of the weight i would get the parts sprayed to match your car

I like your car being fairly standard especially since its in the best colour

P.S Im sure ill get some repercussions off some members who love Carbon

[Taylor]

mmmmm i was debating a rev 5 spoiler with a c/f blade, but i like my rev 3 spoiler. hmmm

i like the cf look & the fact its a bit lighter

cheers man.

oh, and i will get those orange lights off you next week on saturday if thats cool
