Thats about about the ballpark I would be expecting. If you get more than that you should be chuffed!

Don't know if you have IC upgrade, but anywhere between 150-170rwkw I guess depending on dyno. Toms car was a bit of a freak & made more with extra boost on stock ecu.

Replaced the old leaking cooler with greddy copy side mount with shroud & fan running at all time.

Also installed the goodridge brake lines to replace the old custom made lines which didn't even have the brackets to mount them properly.

First Track day 9th June 2014 @ Wakefield Park
Due to the wet weather yesterday, it actually gave me a good lesson of how the MR2 behave in the "WET". It was nice to met B24 & Adrian yesterday. Adrian even took me out for a few laps in his yellow beast. 
Went out the first time session and managed 1.14.6 with semi dry track and was hoping the track would dry up later of the day, but end up .....rain, rain & more rain. So lots of " under, under then over, over steer". The tail even came out down the straight as you past the kink managed 1.16 for the second time session. Overall, I had lots of fun and glad the engine was running fine during the whole day without any issue.

Was great to meet up with you too. Your car looked great on the track along with a hell of lot more speed than my little 'Pug'! Really enjoyed watching it fly past. Its such a great style of car to watch on the track.
I have some video footage which I will sort out in the next few days. I have some of you passing me so will load it up to your build thread. Its just a few snips but better than nothing.
I found the track was very poor after the second rain session. Just seemed very slippery in a few locations.
No more mod's until you manage a 1.12 on a dry day!

@ B24
Love to see some of your video footage.
 
I will arrange the tune with power FC & Boost controller install soon before the next track say.
 
Few other things would like to do soon....
1. wider tyres, found 205/225 are bit narrow for track use
2. New set of coilovers with higher spring rates (found the BC bit soft for my liking).
3. some weight reductions, was also thinking of changing a single centre exit muffler to replace the twin bulky/heavy phoenix power mufflers.
4. Bucket seats with harnesses
 and hopefully would help me to get into the 1.10 zone.

Contact Greg Nolan at Spax. He will look after you with a excellent set up which you will not need to change again.
Better get on to that footage!

28/6/2014 - MR2 30th Anniversary
 
This was the first MR2 club event that I attended and had a really good time!
 
Surprised & shocked when I received this trophy at the end of the event. I am sure there're some better modified SW20s than mine. Thanks and look forward to attend more club events in the future.

 
and thanks to Jaemus for some nice photos

Aren't you glad now that I convinced you to enter the car in the show and shine? :)
 
Well done Steve, look forward to catching up again at some future events!
