any shops are recommended?:) thanks

One main person comes to mind....
 

As with most workshops around now, I think they are closed for the Holidays and may have a bit on in the new year

Tristan looked a bit different last time I saw him.... 
 
Yep, Tristan at WTF Auto (kelmscott) or Tony Flood (Welshpool) are the only 2 places that I am aware of that know MR2s inside out.
 
Cheers
 

That's good to know, I'm moving to Perth with the MR2 late January. :)
Wonder if they do roadworthies?

WA doesn't have a requirement for yearly road worthiness checks.  Although you will need it to be checked over when you swap rego to WA, this is done by one of the transport inspection stations.  As far as I know, workshops can not do this like they can over east.
 
Once you have done this, you will only need it reinspect it if your car gets a defect put on it.
 
Cheers

Have you owned the car for more than a year?
Is it currently registered in the state that you're living in?
Has it been registered in the state that you're living in for more than a year?
 
If the answer to all 3 is; yes, then all you need to do is get WA plates from the department of transport.
No inspection necessary.
 
And yes, WTF Auto, and Tony Flood are the people to see... :)

Fantastic. I can answer yes on all 3 counts. :)
I was a little worried whether or not my KO R1 Exhaust would make it through an inspection, even with the silencer installed and a cat welded in.
Great news, piece of cake. Hope WTF Auto is good - I've been getting reamed by 'MR2 specialists' in Victoria so far. I do most of my work anyway but having a proper mechanic look over my work is good piece of mind. :)

Do you WA lot go on many cruises? Are there some good 'driving' roads over there?
I haven't attended any Vic cruises because they're few and far between...
