ECU came back fully reconditioned with a warranty and she's running again. Unfortunately I think I was a little ripped off (just shy of $600 repair) but it is what it is. Going to start looking into how to improve my shifter feel. At the moment 1st to 2nd is a very messy process. It feels very 'notchy'
 
Hopefully going to sort all the little quality of life issues then dig into some more fun and interesting mods/work!

Car has been sold. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be getting another MR2 as I am keen to try my hand at one of the AWD rally-weapons we all know and love. So far I've got my money on a 2005 Subaru WRX STi. It'll be a nice modern change from the little midship 'Yota

Oh thats a real shame :( I was up for quite a lot of repairs recently (see my thread if you dare) and spending that kind of money made me re-think owning an MR2 because they do have their faults but I can happily report after 1 week of driving the romance is back. Owning these cars is very much a love hate relationship. Sad to see you go, hope the next person who got it will be on the forums and enjoy the engine in the incorrect location with future vehicles :p

Funny thing is that I'm back in the market for an MR2. After driving my 05 WRX Club Spec 8 for about a month, I've already grown bored of it. And it doesn't have the 'classic car' appeal to me the MR2 did

So I'll be in the market for another MR2 now. Probably won't be immediately soon or anything as I'll take my time on the next one, but I'd definitely like to be in another one by the end of the year

I thought this might happen, I was less than interested in my evo8 as a road car (track car totally diff story) in a matter of months... Thankfully I kept my mr2.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!
 
I have bought myself another MR2 and will post a thread up soon. So glad to be back in an MR2 and as a future warning to anyone considering selling theirs - DONT! Conventional daily drivers are utterly dreadful and my 2 months of daily driving a WRX felt like motor vehicular-lobotomy..

I'll be making a new thread very soon. Unfortunately haven't had much time to actually get the car ready for photos,etc. as I'm currently at war with the mechanic that roadworthied the vehicle. I had the car reinspected after purchasing it (for peace of mind) and have $1000+ of RWC issues that shouldn't of passed.. 3 of them being noisy/excessive play wheel bearings. And a handbrake cable ziptied to the caliper!
