So after many many weeks of delay due to my mate being lazy, me being busy and research going no where we finally started the build.
my current red mr2 1990 which i picked up for 6300, the paint work is abit rough but ill get it that in time.
- 3sgte 
- 570cc injector
- garrett gt2806r
- greddy emanage piggy + controller
- greddy bleed valve/ boost controller
- walbro 255 fuel pump
- kaaz 1.5 LSD
- gen3 brake calipers 
- slotted brakes
- braided brake lines 
- 16x8.5 enkei rear, 16xx7.5 enkei front.
- 93+ rear sub frame and adjustable toe arms.

 


my donor 99 MANUAL camry which i picked up for 1200 which was a steal, 310 000km still runs super smooth, came with new tires with around 80% tread, a dvd player and 7months rego. I was honestly more in love with my camry then my mr2.

Day 1.

So we were at my mates garage to work on the mr2, but the trade off is if i help him out with work. So we spent 6 hours that day servicing one car, changed 8 spark plugs and replaced an oil pump... the rest of the time we spent watching youtube videos, drinking beers and picking up parts from around parramatta, but we did get a start on my project... we removed the battery terminals from the battery.

Day 2.

Came in and decided to wrap things in carbon fibre vinyl for the fun of it cause my mate was servicing someones car.


Hours laters after a steak a beer, some macdonalds and 30mins of PSY - Gangnam style on the stereo (he put 3 different versions on repeat and it took me 30mins to realise -___-") and alot of stress cause we destroy the thread of 2 bolts on the trans axles, THE MOTOR WAS OUT.
