Another job done recently was to wrap the boost and intake pipes on the car with heat management gold tape from Funk Motorsport, I thought this might be a easy job.... turns out it was very tricky, straight pipes easy as pie. Bends however, a nightmare. The tape does not give at all, so you have to ...

Another small job, But one that was needed to be redone was to re-grease the seals. As many know, best process is to clean all the seals on the T-bar. Then liberally apply ( with gloves being best ) and leave for 24 hours for the seals to absorb as much as possible of the "Shin Etsu" greas...

So, like the rest of the world, I'm staying home as we speak due to the corona virus crisis. However, it has given me plenty of time to get tonnes of smaller, and larger jobs I had listed on the car done. And in the process of doing more. The first I wanted to tackle was re-routing the launch contro...

Yeah no worries bud, its pretty much mint. front bumper needs a refresh in
2020 due to stone chips. Aside from that its tip top !

side note, Jordan your gonna run out of clear coat if you keep detailing it LOL. looks stunning, makes me feel bad ive not touched the paint on mine since ive owned it :-( :lol: Haha, tbh I think this is only the second time I have machine polished it and even then I'm only using a very light abras...

Car's been stored away since the bad weather hit, however got it out the other day for a machine polish and hand wax. Grabbed some photo's after. https://i.imgur.com/BYhrpIz.jpg https://i.imgur.com/uQv3SZm.jpg https://i.imgur.com/DXHqULr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lQ0eAIR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/FKr6qo...

1.7 bar. It's a borg warner s252sx-e. Had to stop at 373 (actually made 380 at one point) as the fuel pressure was very erratic. I run a deadhead setup so the mapper suggested going back to a regular return line. My walbro is whiney as hell so something's not quite right. Once i get the pressure so...

Nice bud, what level of boost did you make that with. What turbo & setup etc.

Yeah, next summer once I've had a chance to get used to the 425bhp its
making already, It's by no means slow !!!

From one good owner to another, good to see the car to to another in the
community. Jordan.

Only just found your build thread on here, after getting a couple of pages in I realised it was the MR2 that was on Monky London! Read through it all last night.. Definitely some ups and downs in there!! Good read though. Lovely MR2, actually really helped me in my choice to finally get one! I'm wa...

amazing man!!! Looks incredible! Thanks Pal. As you can see, I've just received even more photos detailing the work. Its looking insanely good. https://i.imgur.com/FZZsKRt.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ozZ9Af0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/FzA6oeY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LQFXXPv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SU9fkFz...

Downpipe created and WG fitted, next up will be creating the new pipe running
from the SMIC intake. The downpipe is only tac'ed in place as the manifold was
but will be properly welded once all angles are done.

Now after lots of small updates on the car, time for probably the biggest and most expensive thing the cars had done to it. Finally time to finish the engine. After sorting a decent finance option I took the plunge and bought the following from Paul @ TCB Parts. . Garrett G25 660 VBand .72ar . Tubul...

Hi Bud

I'm interested in this, still available ?

thanks,

J.

So instead of just putting the car back together, I decided that with the success of the spare wheel I would paint the strut braces. Along with tackling two problem area's for corrosion, mostly caused by the strut tower openings. https://i.imgur.com/b1rixMq.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1PyJ7eG.jpg I star...
