New addition to my family (JDM turbo)
Picked her up a few months ago now, almost straight after I arrived home from MTC 2015.... Plans for her.... not sure yet, but I have currently pulled the engine out, & have just finished rebuilding it. I am planning to bring this one & my other sw20 along to MTC 2016, just trying to figure out how to still bring along my AW11 aswell. As for the latest sw20, Its pretty stock, I've rebuilt it to standard specs using original OEM parts. Other than that, I have fitted the norm upgrades, new HD clutch, 3' dump pipe, high flow cat & twin exhaust system, FCD & adjustable boost controller, boost gauge. In VIC picking her up. Home next day rippin out the engine.. After machining / installing new parts, new head installed. (thanks to Damian)  Machined flywheel came up beautiful How it currently sits. Till this week end ;-) Ahh... Rocker cover BEFORE. Rocker cover AFTER, 3 coats or etching primer, followed by 4 coats of heat proof enamel.

Maybe you could all chip in for a car carrier & then fly over, lol

The red mr2 is Robs, unfortunately its an NA auto :-( otherwise its a beautiful neat (G-limited JDM) example. Ahhh... thats also why he didnt bring it over for MTC 2015, opted to use my Adub instead. Shaz, That would be great, tried to organise a truck like that for MTC just gone, but its a huge cost. Need to get my HR licence & buy a carrier truck.

I thought it might have been Robs. Is Rob on this forum?
I gather it has different aftermarket tail lights?

Tell him to get on the forum and start a showroom thread lol.
I'm not normally a fan of aftermarket lights, but i'd like to see some pics though.
I gather neither of you are on Facebook?
