Wow, that's a big improvement on the last dyno run.

You respraying the spoiler again? Front bar looks okay, if its not up to your standards sand if back with wet 1500 then 2000 wet and dry sand paper (or even just 2000 depending on how much you want to take off) and then give it a buff with some cutting compound. Just be careful not to go thru the paint and wait a few days after painting it.

Thanks Ant1.
You're a mind reader, front bar got sanded and buffed today (but given my intial results, had to start MUCH coarser than 1500 lol!). End result looks semi decent for a track toy I reckon, and I'm pleased with my second ever spray job. Spoiler will get re-done eventually.

Paint match is good, doesn't look bad at all in that photo.

A few sexy shots from the MR2 Trackday Challenge. Magic lens I think!

Wow, I haven't posted in a while...
So following the billowing clouds of smoke & issues I had in January, discovered the turbo was a bit fried. Reconditioned in May, all great. BOV plumbed back properly, no more flamage when backing off or gearshifts.
 
Just picked the car up today after gearbox recondition with new syncros and maintenance/improvement tips mentioned here http://www.mr2australia.com/mr2play/tm.aspx?m=47482
Gearshift feels nice & tight, very happy!

Finally all my big brake upgrade goodies arrived - dropped them off at mechanic's today so hoping its all done for Wakefield on Thursday. Delta V Australia brackets for Nissan calipers/lexus discs front and my Toyota calipers/Mazda Rx8 sport discs rear, and braided lines & TRW pads. The calipers brushed up nicely this morning, and I've gone black for stealth.

If you miss Thursday, try the circuit club day on the 7 th. A few of us are looking at that trackday
