The pump is running and you can see that the water level in the filler neck is stable. Since the filler neck is the highest point the water wont overflow :)

Added some coolant to the overflow coolant bottle. If i have time before the tune i do this if not during Christmas break is to wire it to the cluster. Our MR2's until the end 1999 had a float oil level indicator in the pan. Since the Beams doesnt have one and the LED check light is in the dash , ill find that wire and connect it to the level sender in the Coolant bottle.

 Unlike my other car, Car audio Australasian Champion BMW i didnt want to go down the path of having it published. Sure it was great that the BMW made front cover of many magazines both here and overseas especially America , i just dont want to go thru it again

It was great to finally get the MR2 President in my car Finally had an opportunity to go for a drive with the President of the MR2 club over here. In his monthly reports he noted the drive and wrote a few lines. In actual fact i was extremely glad that we got together to see an unbiased appraisal of my car. Please note they used some older pics of my car as its now supporting the SC and new 17 inch rims

My best mates brother is a cop and a car lover. He was asked to look at her to see if there was any mods and he said " i guess there is as you wouldnt have asked but i cant see any " :) In actual fact he thought i painted the Plenum until i showed him a picture of an OEM Beams car

So after all is said and done we started to tune my car. Since it was a new Super Charger we stayed very conservative  That was Dec 2012. After about 5,000 kms we went at it again and with timing and VVTi and adjustments to both the BOV and Wastegate we were at 323 RWKW's No bad at all given thats only 18 psi and 98 premium. No E85 required , No water/meth required as all the temps are low. It was an interesting time in my life as was the BMW but hey we move on to bigger and better things.

On the car ? Nothing just enjoying driving her :) Ive been on another forum while i anxiously wait 2 years for my N/A Beast. The MR2 is great and i guess i have said enough of the Beams and the Rotrex. Its been absolutely a joy over the heat waves we had. But its time to put the tools up and enjoy life and get out of the garage

My 318is BMW was the highest winning car of all time. Won every State final and the Australasian Car Audio sound quality Champion. I was ameture 0-500 watts but also scored higher than the PRO cars > 1000 watts. State of the art install done by me and only 6 speakers. All Pro gear. My Tweeters were louder than most competitors Subwoofers going up to a SPL of 130 DB !
