Awesome hooked up rims Works 15x7 24offset's Needed tyres - felt pretty confident i could fit +10 aspect from the 195/45/15... ... ... ... 195/55/15


 
Bob Jane has a special on at the moment for Bridgestone Potenza RE002's 195/55/15 so went down and an hour later BAM!!! They were on.
 
Small problem... knew it when I saw it from afar... The profile was pretty big... my bad...

Still felt pretty okay it'd work, and to an extent they do (more so if the guards were rolled)
They do look pretty good though! Despite the increased ride height and its 4WD-esque looks!!! 222D!!!
 




They don't interfere clash at the front at all even whilst turning until the shock compress obviously.
The left rear for some reason suffered the worst rrrrrrrrrr

Scratched and violated the left rear only

Took chunks in places, not to deep

The other three tyres have "rub" marks
 
Gorillas good and Gorilla does Federal tyres...
Federal make a 195/45/15 in the 595

Cheers for the help Dylan, In the end it was easier to sort out locally.
BJTM's took the Bridgestones back and replaced them with Falken ZE912 195/45/15's  for the smallest of fees. Behold.

Been a while between posts.
- Cruised with RdS in the Yarra Valley. Awesome.
- Wheels sorted! black on black with red repro works decals
- Reached 190000kms
- Started blowing smoke under power
- Made leaner, also recommended using a thicker oil?!?
- Repped MR2's at JDMST lol - saw an AE111. (so thats how a 20v should look...)
- Might not be getting enough air. Want, no NEED to sort ITB's
- ADUB cruise to Sorrento. Awesome
 
Pics to prove it:

F @ # $   y e a h
Thats the sound they make. Honest.



 
Changed my transmission oil. semi fixed the grinding...



 
Anyone got itb velocity stacks for sale?
 
Drive soon! 

:D
forgot about photos i'd left on my camera from the sorrento run. :P

Strewth, if you lived in WA, I'd make you an instant offer on this thing. That engine and that car combined seriously gets my fizz gland going!

Cheers anarchisttomato! Kind words! Seeing i'm not in WA you'll just have to build one 

Haha, tongue extended! ;)
When I first heard about the engine on the later seasons of Initial D, I immediately wondered what it'd be like in an MR2, so seeing the combo actually made is very gratifying. :)

It has been WAY too long between updates... my bad this is whats happened.

- IMEC 35mm trumpets install
- O2 Sensor Replaced
- Wheel lip spraying (Thanks Dylan/Gorilla these wheels are awesome!)
- Breakdown (Rad hose adapter fail.)
- Interior tear down and clean 
- Shifter mount spray
- Binnacle display freshen
 
Proof:

As it stands as of 13/02/2012 - hard parked at work.
 
IMEC 35mm trumpets install.

I dont drive it like this obviously. The ae111 airbox base plate is fitted between the trumpets and itbs. I do drive it without the airbox lid though. Its sounds mega 1980's awesome.
 
O2 Sensor replaced.



The O2 sensor was largely the reason the black soot was building up and for the beyond poor fuel economy. It was replaced with a genuine AE111 sensor. note the different length cord and the different size flange and locators.
 
Wheel lip spraying.

Finally got around to removing the black electrical tape (mwahahahaha) and sprayed the lips of the Work Miester S1's. 
 
Breakdown (Rad hose adapter fail.)
So Emma had the ****s and burst a rad hose... on closer inspection it was only a matter of time as the adapter made on the fly with the install did NOT have a flange to stop the hoses from slipping..


Tabs / Flanges added.





Interior tear down and clean. 



 

Shifter mount spray.










 
Binnacle display freshen.


Needed to be done  since day one has been sh#ting me ever since! (will update with an after photo)
 
also
Re-coloured / treated ALL exterior plastic trims, with black plastic re colour stuff.
Didn't take photos of the process but will take some of the "after" shots.
 
More soon, drive sooner.
 
 
 
 
 

Same! Shout out next time your down in VIC
