Removed this little card unit from under the glove box and all associated wiring.

Image

From my research you put a little card in it and it pays the tolls when you're driving around in Japan. It wasn't removed on import.

I think i'll keep it because it is quite cool and it is actually made by Mitsubishi which is wicked. It talks to you in Japanese when you start the car. The wiring however was all those horrendous plastic clips so it had to come out.

Also removed this Turbo timer..

I subscribe to the driving gently for the last 5 / 10 minutes rather than leaving the engine running illegally..

If anyone wants it let me know.. :thumleft:

I have the same turbo timer in my MR2, but it's got a see-through blue case, it's the pinnacle of 90's cool

You're allowed to have it running if you're with the vehicle but not if you walk away from it. Which is kinda the point of a turbo timer.

I'm kinda just tempted to stick it in a box somewhere and keep it. I do love 90's car stuff.

did you have a chance to look for that sensor? :thumleft:

Absolutely awesome dude. :thumleft: This is a car I really wanted when it was new (i.e. when I was still a little too young to drive!) and I still toy with the idea of getting one too. I always preferred these over the scoobies. This is the best colour too IMO.

Removed front cross brace, it isn't in great condition I have begun polishing. forgot to take a picture prior to starting.

Anyone good any good ideas about removing corrosion off Ally. It isn't too bad polishing with metal polish is working but will take a month of Sundays.

I don't want to lose the shinyness so I figured using sand paper would be bad?

Well i went with scotchbrite type pads in the end to get rid of the majority of the corrosion. And now i'm working with the polish to get the shine. :thumleft:

Not really much happening at the moment, I am taking some time to sort my garage out as I needed somewhere to work,

I did however get this to play with over the long cold winter while the car is in the garage.

Image

The box model is even the same colour as my car. So hopefully i'll be able to paint the model the same colour.

So now a little progress.

With great thanks to Rob (CT35Rob) I should have my Defi Water temp gauge fixed in a week or so. So this is good news.

I have noticed that there is a loud ticking

On idle, from a little investigation it seems to be a common Evo 6 Issue due to the lash adjusters not letting enough oil through them due to the hole at the top of the adjuster only being 1mm, there is an upgrade to 3mm which from my research solves the problem.

I have ordered a set and am just waiting for them to turn up.
