My Rev 2 GT-S project update 11-5-11 racing harts on

[silentstu]

After owning a rev 2 uk gt-i16 i always wanted to get back into a Mr2 and said id only go back if i got a turbo one, I got a 2002 astra in the auctions cheap and didnt really like it and found someone with this mr2 and done a swap . So nice to be back in a mr2 deffo missed it and the turbo is so much better than the na. Anyway heres some pics:

Day i got it home

























Car was imported in 2003 and heres the spec from the ad

2.0L Twin Entry Turbo
TRD Tuned;oversized cams, bearings ect.
Balanced Lightened Flywheel
Organic Sports Clutch
Dump Valve
Spitfire Boost Guage
Sporting Steering Wheel
Momo Gear Knob
Blitz 16" split rims(req refurb)
Raceland Bucket Seats
3 Point Harnesses
7800KM
Original MR2 Mats
Tax till march 2011
MOT till October 2010

No proff of the engine mods which was a shame but the car seems strong even tho im only running standard boost at the mo. And the milage isnt what was stated.

So first thing first i got some import front lights





as i like the JDM look on these cars

then i got rid of the metal work infront of the exhaust





then i changed the steering wheels as it wasnt to my taste



Next job was seats as i didnt like them or fit in them very well

so i found a set of mint full leathers from a R reg mr2 at the breakers and got a mint ashtray too for a whole £100 bargin :yahoo:





Changed my rear fog switch next as it had a massive orange one so done this as its a bit more descrete



Carbon vinal around gear surround



TRD key



Then i attacked the tired rear lights with autosol



I have a new set of 13 x 6" number plates on the car no pics of the rear but you can kind of see the front one here look alto better



Next lot of plans are:

Refurb the wheels (if im brave enough to split them)
Change the decat as its cracked/split just have another cheap one for now to get thru MOT
Change passenger side repeater (right pain in the rear to find)
Just orderd a set of import 180kph clocks from gtichris
Sort out a couple of issues under the bonnet out
New front bumper
Relocate the Boost gauge to the pillar and try cover up the whole it will leave :crybaby:
Remove dump valve - DONE!

Was thinking with the wheels to do black centres and white rims, But should i risk taking them apart and if a bolt snaps or somthing will i find one, they are Blitz 2 piece wheels anyone split a set of blitz wheels before?

So whats everyone think so far my plan is to just keep it standard ish and keep tidying it and enjoying it.

Update 30-07-2010

New 13" x 6" plates fitted







New Clocks not quiet the ones i wanted but looks better than before wanted the plain 180 kp/h ones so need to get a converter now as these a mph






Better pic of my carbon vinal (need a std gear knob and to sort the gaiter out)

[Ren0W]

Just keep it standard-ish.
Money spent, is money thrown away.

You could loose the snorkel

And regarding those bolts... there is a site you can order all kinda screws and stuff for split rims. So you should be oke.

For the rest, nice looking car

[Rhonsmr2]

I can sort your gaiter out for you

[silentstu]

some pics from today excuse the dirt tho





















Got the clocks sorted a fitted

[silentstu]

Gear knob sorted always like the std one on these



ebay bargin knob and gaitor for £8.50 posted

And new (old) Wheels lol just std ones in a gunmetal grey and just put new falkens all round
wheels i got for £31 with knackerd tyres on. New tyres wernt too cheap tho



will wash it a get some better pics before i take it to JAE

[Richie86]

I have the same exhaust lying around in the Garage, whats it sound like on a Turbo?

i had it custom fit on my N/A but it was stupidly loud.

[silentstu]

its quiet loud yeah but i dont mind it

[silentstu]

New LED boot light



And i lit the rear triangles and done the Quad brake light mod (had quad sides already) and put the fog into the drivers side reverse light

[silentstu]

Done some of them small jobs around the car:

Plastic boot trim from a breaker for free with some other parts (stereo surround ect) as mine was missing



Bonnet Stay as mine was also missing!?!?



And new hard pipe - IC pipe as mine had a DV t-piece in it -- Thanks foxy-stoat



Also have fitted a horn button to my steering wheel (non functional)
And fitted a funtional horn button i made in one of the blanks next to the fogs as the hub wasnt connecting so had no hron at all.

And replaced the stereo surround as the prievous owner had drilled a hole in it for the boost gauge vac pipe and wires. Next jobs are get rid of the boost gauge and get a new one and an A pillar pod and i have a smooth rear light panel comming i will wrap in carbon...

[silentstu]

Almost had an ebay result as i won this smooth light panel for £16 thinking it was a fiberglass one painted red. But its a propper plastic red reflective one which are pritty rare! then realised mr postman has broken it!!!!!!!











Which was a propper shame stupid royal mail!

Not to be defeated i got the carbon Vinyl out and its now like this

[silentstu]

Just fitted a nice brand new HKS airfilter got it to cheap to turn down!

[MR John]

Very nice and good choice of mods also look's better with the centre panel been carbon rather than red did you laquer it? Would look a million time's better with just some laquer on there.

[silentstu]

Cheers mate.

Not sure how well the laquor would take to the vinyl tho

[silentstu]

More toys!



Broken one



Nice flexi one fitted



also have a new exhaust and center section fitted same as before just not imotoria this time


Hks bov







If i get bored of the noise ill get the adaptor and turn it into a recirc

[silentstu]

[and1ne13]

Nice car, like the mods you have done little sutible ones like the key and the rear centre panel.

Did you sell the old bucket seats with the harness's or you still have them?
