Theres no baby on the way or new job its a simple case of it being the right time to move on. As said, ive owned the car for 6 years come the 28th of March and its been a journey to say the least, you just have to check my profile out to see what has been done.
Me and the car have been through an awful lot and i dont regret a second of it.Anyway enough of the dramatics! Its time to talk about the car, ill break it down to make things easier.
I will be as honest as i possibly can because i know how it feels to be on the end of a bum deal because my MR2 journey began on a bum deal (head gasket!)So the car is a 1990 H reg Revision 1 turbo GT T-bar in Black
(117k miles on chassis, 110k miles on engine). It was garaged every winter (Oct March) since 2009. Youll notice the mods were all fitted during the winter months apart from the engine swap. I have a history file an inch thick and can produce invoices for every single oil change, sensor swap, gasket refresh e.t.c e.t.c All parts except for a few service items (see below) have been genuine Westover Toyota in Poole. There are no leaks, coolant usage, oil usage e.t.c. No smoke on start up, no smoke on boost. The car pulls hard to the redline and is set to 13.9psi. The car flys through MOTs every year and this year will be no exception. The car is only MOTd until June, which is unfortunate as there is not a lot of margin, however, if the right buyer comes along, with the right price, the car will be MOTd early. Engine:
Apex-i intake.
Fitted 20082.5 Downpipe and Mongoose Exhaust system.
Fitted August 2009.New XS Power intercooler with SPAL fan and Shroud, fitted January 2010.
Gizzmo MS-IBC, fitted January 2010
(14psi).HKS FCD
, fitted September 2010 (set 18psi).CT20b turbo bought from steve-m-uk with 55k on it.
I have done approximately 15k, fitted Jan 2011.Aircon compressor removed.
Pipes terminated in Engine bay.Revision 2 turbo block and head
(102k miles) bought from Peter Gidden (S-bits). I have an invoice from Peter totaling over £1k of work before sale to me. Main points: MLS Head gasket, new cambelt, cambelt tensioner, tensioner idler pulley, water pump. All other ancillaries associated with a rebuild of this kind refreshed. I refreshed all the injector seals and gaskets with OEM parts during install. I swapped the engine out in May 2012 and have since put approximately 8k miles on the engine. Car dynoed at 269.3bhp, 248.1 Lb-ft torque at 13.9psi at K-tec racing in August 2012.
