Nothing to report on development of the car.
 
I have however singed up for Targa Tasmania 2018. Targa is the longest tarmac rally in the world and is staged on some truly epic roads throughout that state. I now have 11 months to prepare the car for this and will use this thread as a blog for progress. The car campaigned in Targa Tasmania with the previous owner from 2007 through to 2011, you can see some of the photos from this period on page 1 of this thread.
 
I dont need to do anything major, but the regulations require me to change the turbo back to stock for example. No big deal as I still have the original turbo and also have a CT20b from my other car. Im toying on whether to get a CT20b recore from ATS or chico race works as they make some big power claims with these turbos, Im not sure how reliable these claims are though.
 
To say Im excited about this is an understatement, I have dreamed about doing this for quite a while now.

Thats fantastic news. I'm just a bit jealous. I think you'll have a great time.

Think I might come over for it to Pat... Nearly made it last year, would be great to see u compete.

That is great news.  To be able to have a go at those roads full chat.  Good stuff.
I will be there.

Would love to come over as well,............. if the budget allowed.   Obviously for a holiday & to watch, not to compete myself.  
Looking at the dates, it would be a birthday pressy to myself.
 
 

Ok you three have planted to seed... Off to look a travel options.

Awesome Pat! Keep us up to date on the progress of your preparation.

Thanks all, great to know I have the support of the MR2 community!!
 
If some of you are serious about coming down Im sure we could organise some activities while you are here....

I would like to visit Tasmania with my new restored mr2. Mybe Mike might go as well.

Thats great news Pat. There are two major turbo rebuilders in Australia. Try these guys first. 
I guess you will need incar radio's. There are always good sets available on my105 and Revolution race gear also have some competitive sets available. Go with the FM bandwidth units as the the AM can get annoying and difficult to hear at times.
