Bit of an update...
The car loves the cooler, drier weather. definitely more powerful.
The Gen 3 conversion is still holding strong, and i'm getting about 350-400km to a tank.....
The dump pipe hasn't cracked, the fujitsubo sounds absolutely amazing... (but now i have two very nice black patches on my driveway)
I've been toying with some of the E85 mixes as others have done aslo. it makes a very very big difference at 20%, and definitely feels 'sluggish' on standard 98. I also bumped the hiflowed Ct26 to 18psi on the ethanol.... that was amazing.
However, the honeymoon period is over. I am a fulltime student, and savings are kind of diminishing. Apparently i'm not enough of a student for Centrelink, and the MR2 is now feeling somewhat abandoned.
mods have halted, and it's down to basic maintenance to keep it running. :(

Keep up the good work ZMIT! I can say this thing pulls hard and sounds like a jet at full boost from behind - awesome  Need to get my hands on some more E-flex too, definitely gives the MR2 more zing! 98 just doesn't cut the mustard im afraid!! This makes me wanna spend more money on mine now haha...need more POOOOOWWWWER!!!!!

No, i only got the one MAP sensor.
as for the O2 sensor... that is still causing me grief as well. I haven't looked into it too much, but even with the second one it is showing an ECU code. (21 i think?)
I have checked continuity in the wires, and confirmed the pinouts from a few sources. I just can't pick it.
It was Berk that made the harness. They were adamant that it wasn't their problem. regardless of the market and year differences, some of the common wires weren't even in the correct spot.
Thanks Josh, we'll have to swap cars some time so we can get a different perspective. (or i can? I don't know if you have already :P)

Indeed. Sounds like a plan.
There will be enough driving, that's for sure.

They look great, will you still need to get them re-drilled?

Nope. Those were a different set. These will be here in about 2 months though... so i've still got a bit of 16" cruising to do :P It's been 2 and a half years since i last had a set of 17"s... and they didn't fit!

All up, it was close to $1200.
$600 for each.
(a $100 refund on shipping from import monster helped with the wheels though)
The car isn't that healthy right now anyway. So I'm not pushing it too hard.
Need to fix an oil leak from the sump/oil return/dipstick/who knows where.
