MaXim's 95 GT-S

Hi all,
 
After selling my 97 Bathurst, I really regretted it (not having a sports car) and started looking around. Test drove a number of Porsche Boxsters, S2000s and such but could not keep myself away from another MR2. I just love the look of them and how they just stick to the road so well. I found a pretty tidy turbo one in the colour I want and the rest is history.

    Looks great, good luck with finding TRD springs though. I've been hunting for them, but with no luck. I've ordered Eibach Pro-Kits instead.

    I'll try my hardest but you're probably right. Do you know what the difference in ride height is between TRD and Eibach Pro-Kit?

    Hey there EssDub :) Cheers for the spring recommendations in the other thread. It's too bad I live east of the border now, miss all the good times we had in the hills...

    That's for those who don't know any better. Personally I prefer:
    • Healesville-Kinglake Road
    • Gembrook - Launching Place Road
    • Mt Baw Baw Road
    • Donna Buang Road
    and many others :) None are as close to town as the twisties in the Adelaide Hills though.

    Fitted the Omori boost gauge with dimmer circuit today. Was expecting it to be a quick job but my alternator belt coincidentally snapped when I went for a test drive =_=
     
     
     
    Had my work cut out for me with an overtightened alternator pivot bolt...
