Yeah sorta nothing much though.
Hooked the wideband up to the ecu n gauge so I can use the Quiktune in the Haltech for a rough run in tune. I should get that done in the next few weeks when I actually get some time off.

Well did 60 k's in this thing today. 16 months of no mr2 driving, oh how I've missed it.
Tune is pretty good for my run in. I've found a few minor oil leaks that need attention but otherwise I'm impressed with my work.
Once I've fixed my weaps I'd almost consider taking it on a run sometime.

Great to hear mate. It'll be good to see it in the flesh again sometime. Shame your engine bay is no longer going to be so ridiculously pretty and clean!

Sure is, I'd forgotten how agile they are. The best feeling for me though is the fact i built it all.

Hes a slack ****, its still sitting in the garage. He has rejigged the fuel lines and moved the oil cooler location, but still doesn't have a tune in it. I think even Mark has far more KM's on his car then you Kris ;) My last motor probably had more km's then both of you combined :P
I guess Kris did get married last year - thems tha breaks :) (No, Amanda is wonderful actually)

^^ what he said. There was a few things I wasn't happy with. My oil temp was running pretty high, as too was my coolant temp, both of which are hopefully almost sorted.
Other than yet, yes I got married and also did lose a lot of interest in the sdub. I reckon I need to take one for a strap for a taste to get back into it, James wunna test drive some cars?

:( shame man. Can i ask how you swapped the cable input for the throttle body to make it sidefeed (cable from the rear)??? I have a 93 gen 2 and the TB has a progressive cam, i cant see any way of swapping the opening side for it.
Not sure what to do :(
