Bit of an update...
The car loves the cooler, drier weather. definitely more powerful.
The Gen 3 conversion is still holding strong, and i'm getting about 350-400km to a tank.....
The dump pipe hasn't cracked, the fujitsubo sounds absolutely amazing... (but now i have two very nice black patches on my driveway)
I've been toying with some of the E85 mixes as others have done aslo. it makes a very very big difference at 20%, and definitely feels 'sluggish' on standard 98. I also bumped the hiflowed Ct26 to 18psi on the ethanol.... that was amazing.
However, the honeymoon period is over. I am a fulltime student, and savings are kind of diminishing. Apparently i'm not enough of a student for Centrelink, and the MR2 is now feeling somewhat abandoned.
mods have halted, and it's down to basic maintenance to keep it running. :(
