Those Goodridge braided brake lines kit look really good. The rear mounting bracket should eliminate the need to fabricate anything up. Def keep us updated with how the install goes and if you hit any issues.
 
Well done with the restoration of the BBS rims. Transformation is incredible! Killer photos in your last post.
 
Loving this view.

Box 3 came courtesy of Amayama, and was a job that I'd been meaning to do for a while. My valve cover gasket had decided to voluntarily oil-cool my 2nd and 3rd cylinder spark plugs. While this may well be technology of the future, I do prefer when my oil stays inside the engine block.
 
After sourcing replacement gaskets, as well as a last minute addition of a throttle body gasket - I was quite shocked at how much had to come off to access all the cover bolts - I was ready to undertake the job. While quite an easy job on most cars, the cramped nature of the MR2 engine bay made it a bit more interesting than usual.

@Lumix, in order to get around the HEL brake line mounting issue, I recently purchased a set of Goodridge braided brake lines. These were not that much more expensive than the HEL lines, and even after a bit of wait to get them shipped from the UK, they seemed to be much better value.

While braided lines are fairly similar across the board, if you're looking for a truly bolt-on solution these should do the trick, as they have the mounting bracket built into the rear fittings.

Yet to install them on the car, but will give an update with how easy it all (hopefully) goes together!

Ive been looking at getting some lines - did you order from here? https://www.goodridge.co.uk/

Killer update!
 
I'm glad to hear the brake line install went smoothly and didn't have any issues. Rear lines bolting up to the factory locations is the icing on the cake.
 
Engine bay looks clean and steathly! Good job on the bushes. That will probably be my next refresh.
 
It's a nice feeling ticking off all those upgrades. It all adds up and gives you more confidence on the track. Congrats on reaching your track day deadline! TCL media captured some great shots.

Such a nice looking bay, well done.

Having wanted the Wilhelm Raceworks suspension kit since before owning this MR2, I wasted no time getting to work on installing it. I decided to do the front kit first, as I would quickly run out of daylight and I didn't want my car to be out of action. The install went smoothly, probably due to the countless times I had read the instruction manual online in anticipation!
 
The only slight snag came when I undid the ball joint, and my arms were too stiff to bend out of the way for the front RCAs. I guess that's reassuring that the poly bushings are doing their job! The whole thing took less than 2 hours, with the second side taking me only 30 minutes, it's quite a straightforward process when it comes down to it. I loaded up the suspension and torqued everything to spec, then dropped the car back on the ground.
 
I was greeted with a monstrous amount of toe-out, which seems logical when comparing the suspension geometry setups in my mind. I performed a quick newly-learned home alignment with some angle iron and measuring tapes, as I don't want to shell out for an alignment until the full kit is installed. Driving straight and pointing straight, I can't wait to get out on the weekend and see what difference even just the front kit has made.
 
Also arriving this week was my new racing seat, a genuine Bride Zeta II (check out that old logo!). After contacting the seller for months (he was unwilling to ship or separate from the S chassis rails), I was finally able to get it driven down from Lismore. Thanks sis!
The S chassis FG rail has already been sold to a friend, so that's a bonus!

This is exciting!
Interested to know how the whole Wilhelm kit goes.
 
FYI you have probably already purchased the seat rails but Import Monster is an AU Bride disty - I bought my Bride RO rails from them and it was pretty quick to have organised.

Ah good looking out! I have already purchased the rail from RHDJapan however, I had some store credit to use up so it made the most sense. Hopefully it arrives before I'm back at the track!
