baby on the way or
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
new job its a simple case of it being the right time to move on.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
As said, ive owned the car for 6 years come the 28th of March and its been a journey to say the least, you just have to check my profile out to see what has been done.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Me and the car have been through an awful lot and i dont regret a second of it.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Anyway enough of the dramatics! Its time to talk about the car, ill break it down to make things easier.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I will be as honest as i possibly can because i know how it feels to be on the end of a bum deal because my MR2 journey began on a bum deal
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(head gasket!)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
So the car is a 1990 H reg Revision 1 turbo GT T-bar in Black
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
March) since 2009.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Youll notice the mods were all fitted during the winter months apart from the engine swap.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I have a history file an inch thick and can produce invoices for every single oil change, sensor swap, gasket refresh e.t.c e.t.c All parts except for a few service items

No smoke on start up, no smoke on boost.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The car pulls hard to the redline and is set to 13.9psi.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The car flys through MOTs every year and this year will be no exception.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The car is only MOTd until June, which is unfortunate as there is not a lot of margin, however, if the right buyer comes along, with the right price, the car will be MOTd early.
