Yeah I think that get up with a meersham pipe would be as good as it gets. Perhaps a faithful collie dog at my side just to round it off.

I have two collies. I should bring them to a meet one day :laughing-smiley-014:

If the engine was in the middle,... does this mean it would be in the cabin ? :)

MR2's are indeed rear engined,... kind of explains why the intercooler was on the boot now doesn't it.

MR2s are mid engine hence the acronym Midengine Rear wheel drive

Difference to remember is basically the lack of rear seats in an MR2, Honda NSX or british MG type cars (also better handling). Rear engine cars like the porshe and VW beetle tend to have more snap oversteer crashes and rear seats. Also i seem to understand these rear engine cars gain an advantage of traction for dragraces having all that weight over the driving wheels kind of like an Front engine Front wheel drive car but in reverse - i do understand that especially with the turbo porshes from the 1980s turbo boost would come on suddenly and fling the rear around to such an extent that legal action was attempted to be taken against porshe as their cars where dangerous because of the boost and rear engine factors kind of worked like a pendulum. Mid engine cars do still have snap over steer - i can attest to this however apparantly its no where near as bad as on rear engine cars or so Top gear would have us believe.

ya.. I want my 2 min back as well. If u want to impress us, try not teaching us how to suck eggs!

you ever even driven a porsche? They are a bit twitchy sometimes, but if u use your BRAIN more than your right foot, they are quite a strong bit of gear.. its very easy to see that porsche was building a real sports car, for drivers. Not over confident weeeeners..

on topic:

I got sent a pic of a Gold MR2 to my fone 2 days ago. This car was in brizzvegas.. intercooler ABOVE the hatch! One way of getting fresh air to it :)

haha this owner of a toyota Kluger has some issues i think his supposed to put a TRD sticker on a toyota not a Rallyart lol spot this thing all over mt gravatt

Also spotted a Holden VL Turbo with MAZSpeed windscreen sticker on it wat a crack up ..

    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all. 
    • I was chatting with an ex SAU person who is involved in chooning euros now. He was saying the factory cars like Audi VW etc have something like 2000 tables that the ECU uses for getting everything "just right". Compare that back to any aftermarket ECU, and you'd be hard pressed to surpass 50 lookup tables. Even the Ford Barra engine has a few hundred lookup tables to run it (and they're still working some tables out too!)
    • Grab a temp probe, and probe each exhaust inlet runner with it sitting idling. Each one should be pretty darn close to the same temp. If you've got some reading higher or lower than the others, it's likely either air flow isn't equal, or your injectors aren't equal to each other.   The other things to check, is from the wiring changes that were made, were any earth's or grounds moved/changed.   Lastly, for the strut brace issue. It's not perfect, but can you get away with slipping a washer or two under the strut brace to raise it, and it still clean the bonnet? If you can, work out the height you need, that the motor can't torque up into, and get a spacer made for each side.
    • That rusty R32 fuel tank is what we found in Clinton's R32. It has since been replaced with a R32 GTR tank and all it took was a bit of ingenuity in building new fuel tank hangers. I cannot believe how simple the R32 fuel level sender is compared to the R33 unit.
