kyp2nyt - Thanks mate, seen your car around too, very clean looking mr2 - those rims you've got on it are massive!
 
What engine do you have it in?  One of my mates reckons you've got a Gen 2...?

Thanks! She's in need of a bit of cosmetic care actually...You'll see when you look at her up close. My rims are 18" Work Equips sourced by dylmrt from this forum (blessings and peace be upon him).
 
Yeah I have a Gen2 turbo. Have some goodies sitting at home ready to go in but I've been slack when it comes to the car :(
 
Hey are you using the rest of that half cut? I need a few panels 

Kryp2nyt - We'll have to do a cruise one day, got 2 other mates who's got a mr2s so should be able to organise it one day. 
 
About the halfcut, got a few plans for it (engine lid, boot and wing) and the rest of the panels have a few scratches and cuts.  Let me know what you're after and I'll see if I'm going to use it or not...

I was after the rear bumper??? Mine got caught on something years ago (too low) and got twisted off. Got it repainted but the twisted section is weak and the paint cracks.
If you're going to put on the wing from the half cut what do you plan to do with your current 3 piece wing?
 
I don't have too much spare time to go cruising but let me know and if I'm free I'll come along for sure! Zmit had a hard enough time getting me to come cruising when he was still here!

Sorry mate, going to use the rear bumper for mine later on - my current one has a nasty scratch on it.  
Basically saving up funds to put the gen 3 boot and wing, engine lid and rear bumper painted and put on...probably take a while as I'm flat out at the moment.
 
The current 3 piece wing I dont really have any plans for once I put the other wing on - I'll hold onto it if you want it.

Too easy man :) Would greatly appreciate the 3 piece wing.  How much would you be getting rid of it for...if anything?

Hi all!!!  Well its been ages since I've updated stuff on here....mainly cos my mr2 has been sitting in the garage in a cover and only getting driven probably twice a month as I've been super busy with uni work and what not.  
Now that I've finished uni and working full time, time to spend some money on the car!
 
Bought some new wheels a while back - Project D1's.
 
Cost $1700 from Taleb Tyres in Sydney for the rims, tyres, balanced and the freight up here - I would like to eventually get some Work Meisters but needed rims urgently (my old ones were buckled and vibrated like a motherflipper after at 100kphs).
 
Front 17 x 8 offset +35 with 215/45/17 Toyo Proxes 4.
Rear 17 x 9 offset + 33 with 255/45/17 Toyo Proxes 4.
 
Sorry about the picture quality - I'll get some better ones up soon.

If anyone wants a cheap set of 17 inch staggered wheels with tyres, I'd highly recommend these.

Love them!
 
I was actually getting a set of these in the same spec, judging by those pictures I think I might still!
 
Havent seen many in silver though, mostly matte black - silver definitely looks the goods
 
I think its time to get rid of my Meisters!

Thanks Chase!  I really like them too...but I unfortunately gutter-rashed one of the front wheels:(
 
Anyway, over the long Easter weekend, I managed to put a few new parts in her.  I replaced all the inner and outter tie rods, all balljoints, and fuel pump.
Tie Rods and ball joints, and the Walbro 255lph I purchased from Twos R Us.

Replacing the fuel pump was a job and a half!!! I don't know how anyone else would be able to do it without a Hoist or a pit - I was struggling using my pit at home (need to save up for a 4 post Hoist).

Where the tank was pulled out from...the hardest part was disconnecting all the fuel line hoses!

Walbro fitted beside the stock one (now don't hate on me, but this stock one was for the N/A engine that I pulled out....should have replaced it ages ago!)

Car all back together now, finished late Saturday night...just need to get an alignment.  I might be wrong, but I think it the engine goes better now with the Walbro fuel pump, definitely at higher revs.

On a side note, my other project - a 400hp chev engine in a 1973 Holden HQ.
Almost ready to be painted!
