Just thinking what I want to do to the 2 next year? Hopefully if work goes to plan I will be getting the engine rebuilt by Peter and get it running 100 per cent. I will be going for a pretty standard spec with all Toyota parts, but probably go for forged pistons. On the rest of the car there isn't much I want to do except renew the front brakes and replace the tyres around as they are a bit of a mismatch at the moment.
So what's everyone's plans got next year with your 2's?

Next year I plan to just enjoy the car I think,planning to have some new parts fitted at sbits over Xmas,then mapping in spring. After that I hopefully want spring/summer to get on the highland drive and make JAE for the first time,plus make more meets nag generally get out a blast whenever I can. The car was off the road too often last year being painted and new parts fitted.

Every minor niggle sorted going into next year, which Peter at SBits is already on the case with... Remap then dyno, have the car running well and see that no other issues have emerged.. Then start looking into a forged build.

Re: What's everyone's plans for next year?
Just finished getting all the steering, wheels, suspension, exhaust and brakes uprated this year so all the parts are new and the V6 is hungry for long journey somewhere European.
But my first plan is going TRD Widebody which should be by the early part of next year.

So is Craig slipping in a little forged build there under the gf's radar at the same time?
Originally I would have been getting my Phoenix Power bumper fitted but it looks possible that I may have been scammed by one of our Irish MR2 forum members. I paid for it 3 months ago but it is still not showing any signs of turning up. Going to give it one more week and then recoup my money one way or another
Anyway I have a backup plan - have just purchased an interesting pair of widearch front wings and a modified border bumper to go with so if the PP bumper doesn't show these might end up on the car instead. Just need to sort a decent matching pair of rear arch extensions to go with them.

Finish supercharging my 2gr Mk1 and add our 6 speed gearbox too, uprate the brakes and suspension while i'm on.
Re: What's everyone's plans for next year?
Rewire my car, install the rebuilt engine and get it mapped with the new turbo...then track time!!!

Re: What's everyone's plans for next year?
get round to fitting my border bumper and some random sideskirts i have, been meaning to do it for ages, just never have any time with work/band/missus/daughter etc....to be honest, my mr2 won't see much action if it's a nice dry summer anyway as i'll be using the bike again

I was planning on putting a bodykit on the mr2, but carnt bring myself to change the standard look of the body work so decided to get some more power out of it instead.
