Hmm looks like they jacked up the price a little or product updated (I didn't have "plus")
Meh, still a bargain!

Last friday went to Wakie with a few friends. Only changes were the tyres. 
 
So it was Rear: 225/45/17 AD08 and Front: 205/50/16 595RSR 
 
Much better this time round. Plenty of grip, was much happier. Got a 1.15 around the track. That was with no 2nd gear used. After i got the 1.15 i aimed to try downshift to 2nd on turn 1, last turn and the hairpin. But having trouble getting it back into 3rd gear... crunching. So i lost time there waiting for the revs to drop and trying to blip the throttle to get it to engage (around 1.18).
 
Overall im pretty happy with myself. And need to watch more tracktime, and hope to head out soon and get 1.15 consistently and go for 1.13 :P ?

Took my car to MRC to retune my car. I knew it was running abit on the lean side and wanted a more safe tune. And they fixed that up for me. Also wanted a compression test which came out to 180-185psi on all cylinders so im happy. 
 
Car came out with 198kW on 18psi with a ct20b highflowed. Considering it was a hot day ill just say it is 200kw mr2 :P.
 
They reconfigured on boost controller to 15psi and 18psi like i requested and hooked me up with a plump back pipe for a BOV since the existing one collapsed in due to the heat on the last trackday. And a return hose for the oem catch can which was previously fitted with a breather causing oil mist in the bay (wasnt too happy with that).
 
Its running great and very happy with the car. MRC did forget the put back my boot trim while they were accessing the ecu so i had fix that up myself and after the first run one of the hoses blew off and as i was trying to fit it back on the clamps broke. And trying to fix it 2 more broke....
 
At this stage i bought some replacement hose clamps and its all working fine. But i have ordered t bolt clamps which should be more durable in the future. It was a very annoying experience blowing hose clamps :P

Also from a 86 group buy, purchased and fitted a DR550 with the PowerMagic Pro. This is a 2 channel dashcam (1080p front and 720p rear) Great quailty at night and good security when driving around or parking it on the street. Would highly recommend anyone to get one if they love their car :)

Upgraded my gear clamps to t bolt clamps as the gear clamps were not secure enough for my liking and started playing up when i applied too much tension.
 

 
Rear brake pads needed to be replaced after 13,000kms of use (3 trackdays). I wanted to go for DS2500 but discovered that,  "Ferodo DS2500 pads are not made for the MR2, so they have to be cut down from a larger pad, this works out to be $371 for the front pads (DB1352 Shape)". So i just went for Intima SR again :)
 


 
My front rotors need to be replaced fairly soon. And i have a pair of RDA dimpled and slotted to go on. Will probably do this before my trackday on the 22nd March held by Circuit Club :)
