Haha, "Ka-chow"!
Very nice, sure it will be worth the wait.

Now I know why the kids in the Territory at the service station were yelling out "Ka-chow" when I was filling it up with fuel.
 
Photo day at the preschool today for those who are good. The teachers tell me that the boys are being particularly well behaved today so they dont miss out

LOL, very cool

Looks and sounds great mate, exotic are 2 for 2 mine sounds almost identical. 
I know your pain with the tacho, I still havnt got mine sorted yet either. 

come on dude. No pics still?

I'm still fairly new to MR2 ownership but learning fast. Wasn't happy with brakes at the MR2 Challenge as they were inconsistent. Pulled down the master cylinder and found it full of a rubbery like substance. Best guess was that brake fluids had been mixed but unlikely as previous owner was Road and Track for over 10 years. Nonetheless, bit the bullet and decided on Lexus/Skyline/Mazda RX8 Delta V brake upgrade. Rebuilt Skyline 4 pot calipers, Rebuilt 22v MR2 rear calipers, rebuilt brake master cylinder and new braided lines. Brake lines were filled with Nulon brakeclean and then purged with compressed air in case there was more of the rubbery substance in the brake lines.
 
When refitting the rear calipers with the car sitting on jack stands, I decided to run a spanner over every bolt I could see just as a bit of general maintenance. I have only done 325 track kilometres since picking it up in December 2012. To my surprise the two large bolts in the RHS of the cross member were finger tight. A bit scary as he car has seen 170-180kph quite a few times. Is this a normal trait that these bolts work loose on SW20s. Bolts on the LHS of the cross member were tight and correctly tensioned?
 
I will definitely be keeping a close eye on them in future

I can't imagine that (the cross member bolts) loosening would be a 'normal trait'. Could you picture that happening regularly on daily drivers?
 
Thats a deadly fault imho.

The few times I've seen these bolts "loosen up" is when they haven't been installed properly to start with.  Clean threads on both bolt and body, and good quality threadlocker.  Plus refer to factory torque settings - a little bit anal, but much better than the consequences . . .

Absolutely love it peter!

When The Pearl first came to our shores the bolt that holds the rear lateral arm in place dropped out and caused the wheel to move all over the place. That was at the docks when he picked it up.......
 
Got it home and found alot more loose bolts. Definitely not normal, just shoddy work!
