thanks mate

Wow that's clean!

I was running T04Z with JUN internals, uprated TRD lifters/cams as well as adjustable pulleys and a modified Fujitsubo exhaust with a Titanium elbow, GReddy Profec B etc.

I will see what I can pull out right now to post up, might have a couple of shots of what it looks like right now, no promises though.

nice list!
T04z isn't a very commonly used turbo, guess the car was originally 'built' in japan?

that pic of mine was taken last friday before the owner picked it up and drove it back home.. to Germany!

No wonder it's gleaming! It was just before the sale!!!

I have had a fair few MR2's, the majority of them go to armed forces personnel and this one is currently being de-tuned to make it's way to Greece.

I have taken a deposit on it and will be letting it go once the car is done and the V5 is in the new keepers name but at my address because they won't let it into Greece otherwise!!!

I just tried to get some pics up but it is not happening. I will take some in the next few days and post them up for sure.

I did most of the work including the turbo myself. Not that hard to do and I only did it to prove a point!!!

Where and when was that???

20th July 2007, in Swindon at work. In Honda car park. You remember the floods?
His MR2 died obivously however my RS survived the water. I remember going to the car park the day after, found Dan stripping the car and i was getting mine sorted to be towed home. Took around 4 weeks for the insurance company to take his car away.
To think he only just had his resprayed not long before it happened, and My RS was put on the road about 1 and 1/2 before it happened following a hard and long 6 month restore. WHAT A YEAR!

Forgot to mention that pic only shows 1/40+ of the car park. Theres thousands of spaces there. Think we had about another hours worth of heavy rain after the pic as the water was on the steering wheel of my car and over dans engines head?

 

[ElDopesta]

I hope you did not get that Leeds fella to resto you car

That must have been a nightmare for several insurance companies!

I vaguely remember it buddy, man that MR2 looked nice

No chance, after seeing his handy work on those arches & paint job i'll steer clear.

 

[DanSW20]

yea, bodykit was only done on mine about 4 weeks prior to this

ill post up pics in a newbie thread of the black mr2 and the other yellow mitsubishi (before and after!)
