Oh, and I quite liked the door popping thing, always worked ok for me - you just had to get used to the timing, then you could look super-cool popping the door just as you get to the car

Re: Car Search - MR2 SC -
well thanks for the history guys - pretty amazing what happened to her really.
Glad to see that everyone is keping up my tradition of'drive like you stole it'
When I imported her originally the only mods were slightly lower springs and the lovely tom's toyota alloys, which seem to have gone missing along the way!
I then had a later ZE engine fitted(with oversized pulley and water injection) by fensport. This blew up 3 days after fitting at a track day somewhere in norfolk. It had no oil in it...
They then fitted a second engine- which worked fine. I also think the water injection did absolutely nothing - so someone made a good sale there!
At the same time I had the car resprayed(same colour) and the doors dehandled. Which I loved!
Looking at the back of the car I notice the TRD'sticker' is still over the boot lock. I never had the lock removed. so if you wanted ease of access...
If any of you guys who owned the car wondered what happened to the front right quarter- this was the only part of the car that got damaged. A full grown stag jumped out at me whilst I was doing 70 down some country lanes.
I've never seen something explode before...
The only damage to the car was a mashed pop up light and a repaired right hand wing!
Oh and I'd love to show you guys what I went onto- but I still cannot post urls

Excellent write up.
Those Toms alloys in the first pics look stunning.

Ah, Tom's Sprit C3-Rs if I recall, I really fancy a set for mine but they don't come up often!
