Another one.. 
How many does that make in the yard/garage??  or in other peoples yards?  

Hey Shaz, you know how it is, can never have enough.. just cause your asking, you'll be please to know I just brought another sw20 turbo the other day too... so it now makes (7) total.  
 
1996 GTS Sw20 turbo
1999 Bathurst Sw20 NA
1991 GT Sw20 turbo
1991 Sw20 NA (Track Car)
1989 Aw11 bigport
1988 Aw11 smallport (Track Car)
1985 Aw11 smallport (road registered - Track Car)
 

That's the current MR2 list.  Then there's the ones that you have bought, fixed & then sold.  Would hate to think how many have come & gone.  You definitely have an addiction. lol.  At least it's a healthy addiction.

I have seven myself at the moment but culling one as soon as David gets over here to pick it up. Had to cull it to make room for the Crown I just bought.

Your partner is either the most understand person in the world or suffers the same addiction ;-)

Hah... I wish, quite the opposite.. she hates cars! But yes very understanding :-)

Looks like still seven unless anyone is after a red Aus delivered hardtop NA. Engine not running at moment but was when parked in front of house. Needs oil line replaced and brake master reinstalled to be drivable.

Well.. slight change to the build on this little white adub.
I've now decided on swapping out the bigport 4age with again another smallport I've sourced from a 1992 toyota seca (ae93).
 
More to come!

Small update, all parts aquired.. just waiting for block, flywheel & cyl head to come back from machine shop.
 

 
Got hold of a brand new set of genuine smallport pistons.

 

 
More to come soon ;-)
 
 

Whilst waiting for some machine parts to come back, thought I'd a least make it a little nicer to look at when its finally rebuilt.
 
BEFORE:

 
AFTER a few coats of etching primmer & heat proof paint.

Looks great! What paint did you use?

I use etching primmer followed with VHT heat proof caliper enamel.

Got a few parts back, just waiting to clear some room as to start this smallport rebuild.
Got all parts now, so a few weeks this one should be up and running :-)
 
Ah... maybe a little longer, my mate has to completely rewire so it takes the smallport engine.


 
Found out that Im a flywheel & pressure plate short on this build....will need to source one & have it machined.
 
More to come.
