Well I know it has the clear headlight lenses, a Microtech with individual coil packs (installed by Online), maybe still an aftermarket exhaust manifold. I remember it has a titanium tipped cannon muffler too. I used to talk to the owner that did most of the modifications, his name was Steve O if I remember correctly. My friends at BEL Garage swapped the motor after it blew, simply because Steve decided to play with the actuator so it overboosted (resulting in a bang). That Border kit (copy) was one of the first in the country, came all the way from the States. If I remember correctly, they fudged up his order & sent 2 side skirts for the same side [88] Anyway, take care of it.

Awesome thanks for the history :) And yes i will take care of it ;)

Well have decided to get the clutch done asap, will be organising to get that done when im back in vegas on monday. My brother took a few quick pics after it rained on friday, so here they are.

Yeah Lee is awesome mate, he wont let you down. I just got home, stuck around to help get Mark's car sorted. Took it for a spin and his clutch issue is now non-existant. Woot. He had a few dramas with his car. Could never get the clutch to disengage so decided it was about time to pull the transmission to see what was going on. Removed the slave cylinder and a heap of fluid came out from behind the boot, uh hu. Decided we'd remove the transmission anyway to confirm everything was AOK with the clutch. It wasn't. ALOT of oil had made its way into the bellhousing (and subsequently all over the clutch) due to a rather ordinary sealing job around the ARP modification on the oil pan. Lee also picked up that the custom flywheel Mark had had machined didn't have a step on it which it should have. Got the flywheel ground as required and the friction material replaced and she was good to roll again.

Mark decided he'd do a number of other tasks at the same time (fit Moroso oil pan, retorque ARP head studs, fit whiteline rear swaybar) and Lee was kind enough to let him use some of his shop space for a couple of days to accomplish this. Anyway mate, before I left we got Marks car and that Prelude sorted out and moved and popped your car into the shop ready to go.

Anyway, was nice to meet you Nathaniel, I am sure Lee will look after you mate!

the border gt wing? IMO the best gtwing is those cf low mounted ones, looks good on the mr2 cos its low and curvey.

Simple and subtle.. i like

Very nice.

Looks like mine except in black and different rims. keep it wingless. Its not like we need anymore downforce to wear out the tyres quicker...

jeez im slack, travel+moving makes other things take the backburner for far too long.

had the spoiler mount holes welded, ground and painted, some other minor bodywork junk fixed up (body still not perfect but the boot and rear quarters are now mint and im happy, for now)

had the car for all of 3 minutes today then dropped it off to have a new ecu and the mechanical woes fixed up.

quite upset with myself for leaving it so long, but such is cars
