Famous.
 

I never really say this about anyone's car, but your style and taste with modification and restoring is amazing. I went through the whole thread in one day and was amazed at at good it looks. Love the seats also they look crazy. Good work.
 
Ohh also, just wondering how do you fund this? Sell children on ebay? So many wheels....
Lol just kidding

^^ thanks for that. not sure about restoration, but sure are lots of wonky mods.. :P
i honestly am still a huge fan of my tartan-heavy interior. i cant believe i haven't got sick of it yet..! ****s so cheerful!
fund it with lots of hours of work, for a long long time. its actually sad how bad it looks, since i genuinely put nothing before it..!
But you say there's $$$ in selling children eh? :P
 
cheers for the link for the new fujitsubo mk1corse! seriously the first time i'd seen it..!
very 5zigen border, but no doubt better quality. i want... :P
n yeah, that's lil red alright! shoulda used a better side-shot of the wheels, but i like that pic anyway.. :)
 
 
 
for an update on this car..
Tuesday two weeks ago, my car staaaaaarted making some light scraping, scratching, grinding noises.. by friday it was rediculous.. and on saturday i stopped driving it.
took it to the mechanic on monday, and it turned out it was the rear bearing. 
ANNOYING, since the bearings, driveshafts, etc etc, were all new/reco 18months ago when i had the engine done. also annoying was the fact it managed to munt the hub..

urgh...
so new bearing, new hub, two days, and $400 later.. car came back. :)
just very ****ty the 18month old, 40,000km, NSK bearing was toast. i worry about the other side too, and the fact the **** bearing was replaced with ANOTHER new NSK bearing...
fukcit.. happy thoughts.. :P
 
Other annoying thing happened last thursday afternoon:

no joke.. this was not there before.. at all...
wasnt there at midday, and then bam.. that afternoon there is a crack big enough to hold a business card..! :O
other cracks on the left side of the dash have been held together with some strategically places stickers...

so it was time to start moving across to the right. :P

little more filling in to do.
 
and ALSO, went to the MR2 Nationals on the weekend. just cruised up and back on the saturday, but was awesome despite the shyte weather...

car was about as filthy as it gets. bothered me a bit since it makes it look like such a ****heap, but it is fun driving through **** once its already dirty... :)
pics of it from the meet:


and loved the flares on this so much...

quick driveway snap from sunday arvo, after practically scrubbing the paint off! the fujitsubo was FILTHY with all the mud baked on, so that took some time...

 
 
anyway...

It was nice to finally see your car in the flesh. Very cool ride.
 
btw you should have turned up on Sunday cos you won a sweet prize at the Sat night dinner.

was good to see you there man on saturday, but im must say id be lying if i said i didnt have fun the other two days, you really should have stayed back, sunday and monday was the best weather and even better roads
and yeah one of the committee member have your prize for you, you should be quiet happy with it.
ps - you should see my cars paint, doesnt look like its been resprayed at all

Man these pics keep getting better and better! You should make a mock brochure for the AW11 :P
Shame you won a prize but went home early I would have turned around 180 asap if someone told me lol

urgh.. i had wanted to go back on the sunday too.. <_<
Just after driving home on Saturday on the most direct route possible... 3 hours and 15 minutes. i was so damn tired come sunday morning, it just wouldnt happen.
 
what's really ****ty is i should have stayed there that night. the minute i drove out of the car-park that afternoon (at 4.. seriously.. i stayed and chatted for nearly 6 hours..!) i realized i should have stayed and gone home Sunday night.
ah well. what can you do. its the way i do things... <_<
 
im still glad i went for the saturday anyway. as a mr2 cruise (up through the national park) it was fantastic. small group, fast, and fun. :)
 
what did i win anyway? i feel extra rude for piking now.. :(
 

No idea actually lol purple5ive mentioned it. I actually came at 1:00pm on Monday, bit late but I still got to see some action and get a hot lap in a stock tubby

Im pretty sure you won the yokohama tyre voucher.get in touch with one if the event organisers they should be able to help you out.

i meant more, what did i win, as in.. what.. category.. (best sunroof? :P)
turns out it was 2nd (aw11? mr2?) in the show n shine. :P which is flattering for lil red. :)
 
 
Tree, you went at 1pm on monday!?! wow.. late! suprising how many people seem to have gone to the track day, since it was on a work-day!
