MR2QIK

NA revving cars have so much heart. Make for perfect daily's.

You are very right. They are awesome fun. I can be punting along as much as I want and I still get 6-8litre per 100km. Amazing fuel economy.
 
I used to get 13-14l per 100km on the mr2, its not as quick as the mr2 but at least I get to enjoy the engine for longer before it reaches the speed limit.
 
I "casually" passed a bus from 40km and built up speed to 80km an hour and it was screaming, the second LIFT kicked in it flies.

MRTurbo

Yeah I'll love it... when she lets me borrow it to 'go to the shops'. Lol ;)
re MR2 fuel economy, don't think mine does much better than that either, that's why I ride a motorbike to work haha :P

I am very much tempted to try this Carbon Fibre wrap that I bought the other day. I just want to make sure that I apply it correctly the first time lol

I tried it on some interior bits but it didn't stick well at all. I didn't clean the edges properly and with the heat of the interior some of it peeled up a bit. 
  
The mailman arrived and I got my Whiteline Rear sway bar yay. I am awaiting for my other bits.

We just test drove a black 2004 ZR yesterday! love it, and the 'Lift zone' works well ;)
this one is like new in immaculate condition. I want one now lol... :(
She reckons she's putting a deposit on it today! :D

Yours looks really great mate, but please tell me they're not King springs! 

Oh mint, please buy that ZR and come cruising lol.
 
The lift is good fun, especially when you do the intake and exhaust, its a lot louder.
 
Thanks for the compliments. The TRD/Sportivo kit should be on the way in the next few weeks which i'm super excited about. Its a factory Polyurthane kit so the fitment is perfect.
 
Unfortunately they are king Springs lol but a very thoughtful friend was kind enough to give me the set so I was most grateful :)
Eventually i'd love to put in some other springs but these are a huge headache to put in and they seem to do the job for now.
 
 

I hope your not going to put that ridiculous bonnet wing on!
also that would be along cruise for MRTurbo from Adelaide ;)

Yeah just a bit long :P
but I've actually been to Melb 3 times in the last year lol
 

I couldn't resist waiting till the afternoon after work so I went in my lunch break back home and started unwrapping the bodykit. The kit was extremely well packaged. It took me a good 5-10 minutes to remove all the bubble wrap. A credit to the seller indeed :)

The full package. Its a truely awesome sight. I've dream't of having an Action Package TRD Genuine bodykit since the first time I heard about them.
 


 
I will be fitting the kit up tonight, its so fantastic that I have all the original bolts and clips required to mount the bodykit. Eventually I would like to get some new clips that hold the sideskirts to the side of the car as they were looking a bit old. So happy :)

I do have some big news, last night was a very busy day indeed. I felt like installing the kit and thats exactly what I did haha. I started at about 4:30 and finished at 11pm.Everything went very smoothly, the sideskirts literally clicked in place where the old side skirt rails used to be, the rear valance was probably the most frustrating not for being anything complex, but you basically need to find these holes in the inside skin of the bumper, mark them out and make a small pin hole through it. From here I would then find the indentation on the outside of the bumper skin and then drill through with the 3mm then 7mm. The instructions recommend making the hole an 8mm but I didn't see a need for it as the bolt fits through fine using a 7mm hole.For some reason one of the holes on the sideskirts does not line up with any panel on the wheel guard that I can drill into, I didn't exactly want to drill a new hole in the sideskirts asThe spoiler was a bit of a nightmare, I had to drill 4 12mm holes, which I did by stepping up slowly, 2 holes came up perfect but for some reason the other 2 (using the exact same method) didn't come out perfectly round. It still all bolts up fine and I coated the holes with some touch up paint to stop them from rusting.It didn't help that my drill ran out 1/2 way through doing the spoiler, but in the end all the holes lined up perfect and its all on now.I'm still on the hunt for a decent front lip, since i'm sporting a genuine Toyota kit i'm on a quest to find an original action package trd front lipI will be sure to take some better shots tomorrow but I could take 2 quick snaps before work:

 
 
 
I wish I had my better camera today, I could have got some better shots. Then I took her for a walk in the car park :) I had fun chasing birds while she eyed off a few of the other Toyota's in the Car Park lol 

 
 
 
 

I found another modification that I am super keen on, its expensive as all buggery but I think its pros greatly outweigh its coins (see what I did there? LOL)

Its a DD Performance Research Intake Manifold with a Q45 Throttle body setup. The actual manifold is a work of art, with velocity polished stacks just after the runners (similar to the one you built cuts :)). In the videos i've seen so far the throttle response is amazing, and the note on the intake is so so awesome.

The car should sound and pull even better with the cams and intake manifold, but i'll have to budget about 2k for those bits, which is the same as what the project MR2 would have cost a year in insurance and rego.

The thing is a work of art:

Heres 2 vids for anyone wanting to have a listen

There are some big numbers coming out of 2zzge's, one of which was running around 230whp which is pretty damn impressive.
