Autosol with a toothbrush and then use of a heavy hand works better than anything i have tried too

[nakamura]

Looks really good Matt.

Harry can i have your wheels for my next project!

[Greddy-Matt]

lol, what you got in mind mate?

[nakamura]

Well it all depends on my situation after xmas. Its complex now but..........im looking at getting a bog standard UK rev1 or 2. I dont want any mod cons at all. Power steering, air con etc but i do want a t-bar in white.
I want a 3sge engine again. I loved the power and sound. I want it slammed on coilovers with HKS filter and Motoria exhaust customised to fit NA. Strip the car completely. No stereo, spare wheel, etc. Light as poss.
16 inch white split rims and a full Toms T020 bodykit.
Im not interested in loads of power as the handling and driving feel is what makes the MR2 so good.
Its something im planning over next 2 years as im gonna buy something small like a saxo to use as a daily driver.

After drivng loads of cars last year i realised i enjoyed the feel of your old NA the best mate.

[Greddy-Matt]

Stripped out NA's rule My old NA has just been sold again n bought by a member on here, he's taking really good care of her, nice to know shes being well looked after

[nakamura]

Yeah it was my fav car really, hate to admit as i liked mine a lot. But thats the plan, weekend toy ahoy!

Can I just say Matt id love to see yours with 17s all round. Really not keen on the 16 front its the only thing that ruins the car. You will have to let me have a go sometime!

[Greddy-Matt]
