Hey everyone

Thought now that I have two mr2's, I should probably start a build thread that I will actually update. Most of the things posted in here will probably be about my AW11 though.

Anyway, onto the cars




On the left we have my 1990 SW20 Hardtop with a 3sge, HSD coilovers and a couple other goodies here and there. Currently the daily, and I'm in the process of restoring the interior to factory

On the right is my latest addition to my garage, a 1987 AW11 hardtop with just a 4age. a strange car as it should be a series 2 but has series 1 suspension. never the less, still awesome! bought it off danielk. Will hopefully become the street rego'd track car :)

Pretty sure the aw11 has done a head gasket though as it smells very oily, so that will be a rebuild job. good thing I got a couple of engines with the car!


 
Unlike my SW20, I wont be dumping thing thing on its guts.
 

 
has some resonable condition recaros in it. Might upgrade to fixed backs in future. 
 
overall its a sweet little addition to my black hardtop collection. Needs some bushings and other things replaced too as the handling is a bit funky

Hopefully ill keep ontop of this build thread!

Good to see you have finally realised the true attraction of an AW11.   Enjoy!

I'm trying to rally a few AW11 drivers together for a track day at Lakeside in November if your up for it :)

Deffinetly keen Aaron! Just need to sort a few things out first and check the engine out again

All black garage......both MR2's.......WIN!!!!

Also, if you want a hand getting the MegaSquirt up and running, I've pretty much got all the wiring, pinouts and firmware files from Dom's car and my old 4AGE 16v installs.

Awesome combo man. The AW11 looks great in black.

black hard top all the way Eric sweet rides i think i will stick to 1 MR2 as i coundnt afford to keep to on the road lol

yes and MR2QIK, both hardtops too ;)

Aaron, Ill take you up on that offer of the ECU pinouts etc, Thanks :)

Jacked the car up today to have a snoop arround, needed to tighten the alternator belt.




Still keeps squeaking, so will have to look at that again when i have more time. Found the bad bushing too that gave the car some terrible handling characteristics, will have to replace it at some point

O2 sensor is unplugged but it seems that the other end of the plug is no where to be found? strange. Also found the TPS was unplugged, yet the car ran fine before that? Who knows, plugged in now

Other things ive noticed is that the car smells a bit oily when running, I know the car had overheated in the past due to a water leak, so Ill be watching the water and coolant over the next few days to see if theres any signs of a BHG

Checked out the last bit of rust on it too



Couldnt find my flappy disc today so thats a job for another day. was just going to grind it back a bit and see how deep it is. Looking like it will need a new piece welded in though.


 

Unplugged O2 will make it run rich, unplugged TPS will allow it to still run, but you don't get Acceleration Enrichment working and you'll notice that it's a little more jerky in transient throttle since it's relying purely on MAP or AFM.
