NEW MR2 OWNER LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE

HI Guys, 

So I just bought an mr2 off my neighbour and I'm looking for a good reliable mechanic in melbourne that I can take it to.
I thought that you guys may help me, I live in the Keysborough but I don't mind a small travel for my beauty. 

I know these mid-engine cars may be hard to work on. 
So please any help is appreciated.

ALso, I'm looking to get new headers, do you guys know of anybody that can install them for a decent price. 

Thanks in advance.

    Enjoy having one of the greatest Toyotas ever made. I've only had mine for a bit over a month, so I'm new to MR2's too. The guys and gals on this forum have been fantastic with their support and advice. They are a great community to be part of.

    And Colin sent you (and many of the guys in Melbourne use him).  He very familiar with AW11 and SW20's (turbo and n/a's).  He's got my SW20 turbo running nicely.

    Plus 1 for Ian at IDB. My brother and I have been customers since 2004 and cannot fault his work.

    Regarding headers I have a Fujitsubo Super EX for sale but it's second hand. PM me for details.

    By the way welcome to the club :)
