Good work Aaron, totally love the aw11 engine cover / lid what ever you call it.
Are you going to make any moulds?

The Happer's Hatch is a replica of the 222D hatch made by Wim Happer's in Europe. Unfortunately Wim ended up going through a large period of health issues, so ended up selling the moulds to Paul Woods. Paul has been making several batches of these including a few customised ones (no scoop) and a louvre piece to fit inside them.
 
I purchased mine when Paul last did a batch.

DailyDub is working it's way towards needing new set of tires and I'm not enjoying trying to find decent tires in the double staggered sizes (185/55R15 & 215/45R16) using a single brand/model of tire. More on this later.
 
Tripped over these for a bargain online, Lenso D1SP 15X7.5" +35

 
As I wanted them on the car on the weekend and no had concentric rings in stock (And I refuse to drive an MR2 without them!) I set on the 4 hr journey of making some from scratch... 




 
The rings pressed in nicely with a gentle tape with a plastic hammer. Just tight enough they will not fall off at the tire shop like plastic ones.

They sit nice and flush inside the wheel, almost looking as apart of the wheel.

I had some spare 195/50R15 Achilles laying around, so they ended up quickly put on these rims so I can at least drive on them for a bit until I purchase the new tires.

Still has a clean look, even if it's a bit 4WD on the height. Don't want to lower it, but a part of me feels like some 1" drop springs "Couldn't hurt it".

 
Tire solution with be a set of Hankook RS4's with a 195/50R15 front and 225/45R15 rear. This provides the factory width stagger and is only $550 for fresh rubber all round.
 
On a side note, I'm really enjoying the SMT 6 speed, glad I ignored all the keyboard warriors and bought one.

Hmmm, been a while since I updated this place, so lets blog this out. Will try to keep this MR2 related.
 
Designed a part for my V6 and had it cnc'd by a mate.

 
Fits nicely onto the factor 1MZ lower intake manifold.

 
I bought a CNC router. More MR2 parts to be made!

 
Bought a hardtop for the ZZW30.

 
Washed the dust off an old friend.

 
Someone wrote the Impreza off properly this time.

 
Goodbye and good riddance to the soft top.

 
 
Made a 3D printed equal length exhaust I had designed.

 
Replaced the worn suspension on the ZZW30 with some BC coilovers.

 
Made some parts on the CNC.

 
Bought a replacement for the Impreza to fill the requirement for a parts/friends hauler.
1997 Mitsubishi Legnum 2.5L twin turbo AWD

 
 
Said goodbye to a friend

 
More of this CNC stuff, throttle body flanges for a customer.

 
When I sold the blue AW11, I ordered it's replacement. A blue belly hoist!

 
Legnumis Levatatus! It lifts approximately 120cm, which is just boarder line hitting the roof of the garage!

 
I've been looking at make ITB's for my MZ motors for a while, this was a quick 44mm throttle I made for a test of concept.

 
I then made a 'half bank' version.


 
I also made an EGR cooler block off plate for the 1MZ block, this one is going to JZXWorks for their 1MZ X83 budget drift car.

 
Installed the best mod on the ZZW30 yet... a light bar. Just in time for an interstate trip and it was brilliant.
