That does look nice. What are the plans now then? I'd be tempted to just enjoy it.

My MR2 to-do-list just seems to never end. It's good to see someone who's happy with a finished project though!

[Libertine]

Its very easy to always want to go one step further.. But as for image wise.. the car is complete for me.. it has everything I ever wanted and more.

If I was being picky.. I'D love some Recaro speed seats in there.. I'm thinking of putting a Red sparco harness in too.. I've hummed over a TRD Spoiler but I quite like the stealthy look of the rev 3 spoiler..

I'd like to eventually get coilovers on it, and maybe give the engine bay some detailing.. but other then that.. I'm done

[Donato]

Sounds like you've just added on to your to-do-list

[Libertine]

The seats are in more or less perfect condition as they are.. but I do love that 90s Arcade Jap feel you get with the recaro's .. The problem is i'd have to put in around £2000 for the other things I want.. and to be honest.. I'm really happy with how it is.. so unless I get a huge tear in the seats or the spoiler somehow flies off in the night, or my suspension ends up rusting to nothing - That is when the next stage will continue.

Very nice car the interior looks spot on too.

Work on the engine bay has started

Rear cusco brace installed
Huge clean up with my other halfs kitchen cloths

Next up - change the hoses to red hoses!

As for the car itself.. The wheels have been sold to a member on here - Rob85 for his white import.. I'm currently trawling the web to find some 17" work equip and pestering a member on here for his

I'll continue to post wanted ads until somebody can provide my mr2 with the shoes it deserves!

Update :

I have finally managed to source some Work Equip from a fellow member on the forum , they will be going in for a refurb soon, so they look like this :



I have also ordered some D1 spec wheel nuts which are on their way and last of all - I have done a little bit more detailing on the engine bay.

I bought a new engine badge from Lee Clarke https://www.facebook.com/slickerstickers8?fref=ts who make ANY stickers / badges / center caps etc )

I have also added some red hoses to bring it a bit more to life. although I still feel like something is missing .. maybe a chrome fuse box or lid where the air filter goes ?

[Lee8ballauto]

Clean looking engine anyway!

Great car, really well done

Those new wheels will look spot on

Personally I would stay away from installing harnesses, yes they look good and are safe in a crash, but looked into it myself and the consensus on several forums is that they create a problem with not being able to lean forwards enough to see coming out of junctions etc

My 2 came with 4 point harness mounts as it's probably an ex Gymkhana car so it's tempting but I'm still steering clear - sorry if I'm going on a bit here but you wouldn't want to get hit side on

[Libertine]

I decided against the harness a few months ago.. if I was to do anything else.. it would be re-leather the seats or get some recaro speed s seats in there

[Libertine]

Been a while since I updated here.. Things have moved along slowly, but nicely..

I sold my desmond wise sports to Rob85 On the forum, and with the money managed to get my hands on some 17" Work Equip from David123.

Money crossed hands via a 3 way deal ( david bought some volks, in order to free up his equips ), and I landed the wheels I'd been chasing for the past year. I Immediately sent the wheels for refurb and they have been sitting in the house for the past 3 months waiting for the weather to improve.. I managed to get them on the car today, I think a 3mm spacer on the rear will just finish it off nicely.





I'm hoping to buy some spare wheels for winter, from a l1ca on the forum.. However the car needs some attention.. A small bit of bodywork needs to be fixed, The car could do with an underseal and I'm also toying with the idea of getting it sitting on some coilovers ( if I can find any for the right price )

Car looks great with the Equips on.
