Who's doing what with their MR2 this holiday season?
A lot of people will have time off from work/study coming up at this time of the year, who has some stuff planned for their MR2?
I know a number of people will be getting things installed/upgraded for the track day in January; I'll be looking to finally swap over my intercooler piping at the least, hopefully install some new fans in the engine bay as well if I get the chance.
Stay safe whether working on or driving your cars, there will no doubt be plenty of police on the roads as well.
Merry Christmas!

I'm one of the lucky ones who gets to work the most at this time of year.  So putting the car cover and maintenance charger on it is about all for mine.

Another full-on rebuild for me - take one BADLY hail damaged car with mint black interior and a good motor, park it next to a straighter, blue rice interior slightly smoky motor car then wait for the parts to migrate across.
Stay tuned - For Sale in the New Year, a (very) bargain priced SW with classic blue trim, motor and body need a "little" work . . .

My holiday break starts today and ends after the trackday challenge. For the first time in a long time, I will be doing nothing to my MR2 except driving it (enough to make up for the last 5 months!)

My AW11 engine bay is in pieces, so everything will be taken off the shelf, polished and put back on there awaiting rebuild.
Transmission will be getting new oil seals in prep for rebuild, and old transmission finally dropped out of the engine bay.
Will take the cover off the car and give it a sponge bath at some point too. Then followed by sitting in the drivers seat for a good 30mins or so, beer in hand, admiring everything and waiting for the day it'll move under its own power again (which will definitely be in 2014).

No break from work, tasty new 5S is in and all plumbed, ready to turn over for the first time since the 3S died almost 6 months ago, run in will ensue, then tune, then new turbo kit from ATS arrives, picked up a set of rather vintage SSRs cheap from import monster, fresh lips and barrels for them will be at my door soon enough, and then everyone may just see what an SW looks like on
