I just took the old girl out of the garage for the first time on the weekend, drove it to my brothers workshop to get some work done on it. I hadn't driven it in such a long time, I had forgotten how special it feels to drive...
I currently daily a GTS86 with turbo conversion running on e85 with 200kw at the wheels, I am worried about how many kms im racking up on it. I'm highly considering turning the MR2 into a daily for the summer.
There is no update on the engine build because I just haven't had the motivation for it with the new toy in my life.
I have a 2grfe lying around that I would like to jimmy into it though.
I miss the MR2 life.

Dayum how/why is your wallet so deep compared to mine >:O

My brother painted it for me while I was at work. Pretty happy with the exhaust considering it was all recycled parts.

Yay for MR2 appreciation!  Especially when compared to an 86. They don't make 'em like they used to...

The 86 is still my favourite by far. However the MR2 has a different, more retro appeal.

BIG UPDATE!
I bought a 1996 3VZ-FE Toyota Camry Vienta on Friday afternoon for peanuts. Engine burns no oil or coolant and idles beautifully. (Plenty of grunt!)
Progress:
Engine is a few nuts, bolts and plugs away from being pulled out of the camry.
Plans:
Keeping my S54 gearbox as I already have a quaiffe lsd in there.
Elongating the bolt holes on my lightweight TODA 3sge flywheel.
Modifying the v6 extractors (Have read that this frees up a bit of power).
Advance timing and commit to 98 octane only.
Retain factory airbox if possible.
Find a way to keep aircon.
Mod Plate
RWC
Rego!
This means that my 3S-GE will be up for grabs. It has only got 60000kms on it so I will be putting that up for sale once pulled out.
