I like the grommet plug for the antenna! Well actually I like almost everything posted here but that in particular caught my attention.
 
Been wondering what to do with mine as I don't really care for the radio nor an antenna which only catches on my car cover and makes it annoying.

Hahaha man. I know, would've looked ace with some Z chassis' Not entirely sure, I think some unplanned commitments came up. Thanks dude, before I get slack we should do that drive/shoot.

Nice bro.. cant see any spyders what happened to them..

 
Cheers Maj! Hey subscribed to your thread a little while ago, great write up and great job on keeping the car as it is with brilliant updates when required! Keen to see your new rotors fitted and what other cool stuff you're waiting for!
FYI - That grommet came from a local autostore, pack of two. Genuinely a perfect fit. The ID's mm's were spot on! Id recommend it!

Thanks man! Seriously cheers. Genuinely didn't anticipate how long it would take. 
Biggest difference was after giving the whole car that clay bar I reckon. Instashine!!!

my god that clean-up/re-spray of bits looks absolutely AWESOME!!!
bloody job well done, looks like a completely different car.  :)

 

It's looking amazing! I can't wait to see it again, you're making me very jealous...

Just sat down and read through this all, inspirational! You've got me hankering to strip my adub down to make her even nicer!
 
Hope she's still running well :)

I spent a good portion of the day reading through this entire thread, and I must say, I'm awestruck. The amount of TLC and determination that's gone through this Adub is absolutely inspiring; plus i think it's the perfect balance between an OEM restoration and aftermarket bits. Hell, i signed up just to post this! 
 
I too wish to own an Adub sometime in the near future and hope to get mine onto your level. Keep at it mate, and maybe I'll be another fellow member on one of your cruises (Melb as well). Or i might be the guy that steals your ride! (I jk of course) 

This thread remains amazing, and an inspiration to all aw11 owners.
 
Been meaning to post this for some time (ever since page 9 apparently),

  > Oh no way those prints look fantastic, and huge format too. The generations is awesome! What a compliment. Thank you again. Had a thought, if you're okay with I'd quite happily and easily update the artwork to reflect your car and its two tone black/white paint job and SC decals!
 
“5SGTE:They. are. All. Awesome.”
  > So very very true!
 
I’ve been meaning to update for a while, but keep putting it off until the next thing is done, until this is painted, until that's rebuilt until that's replaced and so on. That happens and it's been over a year since i've posted here!
 
So this will be the first of a few catch up posts till now mid 2015.
 
Going back to where I left off. Post the MR2 display at the 2014 Formula One Grand Prix.
Having the car super clean from the event was a bonus perk, so it did alot of drives and I pretty much took a photo every time I parked.

2014 06 07 Bastos 222D -
Looking for cool AW11 aftermarket support, rare bits and it's clear that the amount for our 4AGE cousin the AE86 is tenfold. With good reason, I wonder what may have been if the 222D did find its way to Group-B, or compete in Group-S. Could the AW11 have been to rally what the AE86 was in, Group A, Group N?!
 
Potentially period correct if it had of raced.

 
Development time-lapse.

 
2014 08 15Toyota Winterfest
Still “fresh” from the GP it be rude not hardpark it at the 2014 Toyota Winterfest amongst a host of fantastic and individual Toyota’s. Didn’t get any photos myself but hat tip to NoisyNinja for the great photo and kind words!

Caught up with RdS and saw his other immac Toyota - more pics of that day here!

2014 08 24 RSK Ti Exhaust

Came across this RSK Ti exhaust - ex 4agze AW11 race car - Japan - ages ago and I’m not sure why but was looking for cool stuff and it popped up again and it was the perfect item to replace a great conservative Fujitsubo legalis exhaust. (The Fuji’s awesome but the 20v revs hard and the muffling qualities of the Legalis don't do it justice.)


 
** Reality set in pretty quick, wont be fitted until I can have a new header and mid pipe with common flange fab’d up to swap between the cat back and this for the track (still haven't got around to it…might even attempt it myself?)

This happened and what a great thing it is! Vic Roads Heritage Plate. Was a very straight forward process with thanks to the club and I’m real glad that 1988 was eligible.

 
2014 11 03 Changing oil and service before Club Event Haunted Hills - Bryant Park
Or rather... rounding the gearbox fill plug after removing drain plug and dumping oil like a champ.
Sat empty, didn't move for a week until I could pick up new OEM plug, remove the bust one and fill it!

 
 * Hot tip that suckers not 24mm metric its 15/16ths!!! wow.Toyota Part # 9034118006 - were about $8.25ea(Use a 24mm socket on a uncracked plug and it’ll round in no time.)

Again I didn't get to take any good shots myself so big hat tip to Trav for sharing this.

 
What a great introduction to fast fun closed circuit stuff. Lots of undulation, great crew, well run, safety first, ambulance on hand, great weather, and a huge amount of track time. Everyone built confidence through the day, and the pace got quicker within our own abilities. The sensation, weight shift and change of direction were all new experiences in the MR2 away from the street. I definitely got to know it far better than I thought I did -  really enjoyed how much the AW11 encouraged me to go harder, faster and try tweaking things between all the runs. It was awesome!Can’t say enough great things from the day - will definitely return.
 
Okay so this brings me up to November 2014 - the proper cool stuff to come over the next few posts including replacing the I-mec trumpets, Sandown track day and meeting a familiar AW11 face Benji there, roof respray brought back to bare metal and that single annoying rear quarter fender rust blister cut out/repaired, failed rim upgrade, brake upgrade, brake dilemma, brake problems, brake solution, brake wait time, brake clearance problems, shiiieeetttt bringing this thread up to date to today in the midst of a rim change or partial rim change other bits and pieces and no doubt what will be the “next” thing speaking of resprays -  noted today the paint in other sections is getting gross. The average 2nd respray from the previous owner is in rapid decline in massive patches across the front bar hood and now decklid and boot.  SuperRed became Red which is now spotted faded Pink… what a P.I.T.A…

Cheers!

That sounds freaking amazing, but I don't want you to feel obligated or anything. As long as it's easy and doesn't take up too much of your time, I'd love to see it.
