Surprisingly not too much, but this rebuild has certainly grown arms and legs.

Awesome- coming together nicely! That was Nathan's wasn't it? Looks tight against the driver side of the engine bay with the TB on it :eye:

It was mine, but it wasn't mine. If that makes sense :D

I've never used it. Just happened to have it for sale :)

By the looks of it, it's going to be put to very good use!

Update...

Not spent anytime with the car for months now which is really p1$$ing me off. Starting to get a bit fed up to be honest... :roll: ](*,)

But still continuing to buy parts a steady rate which is the main thing, and I really don't have a great deal left to buy! Just want it finished now.

This weeks purchases;

Another HUGE thank you to Nathan Freke for the help and selling me some top parts at very good prices. An absolute gem of a guy to deal with. :mrgreen:

Also ordered (via Nathan);

Brian Crower valves
Brian Crower springs
Brian Crower Ti retainers
Brian Crower valve guides

They should be here in a week or two, so that will likely be the next update as I'm back in sunny Angola...

Also considering selling my white Rev 4 road car as well due to lack of use.
Think it'll be last MR2 I have as a road car.

Thanks mate. :thumleft:

Quite pi$$ed off with it all at the moment as I have a millions jobs to finish on the car (non engine related) and can't seem to get the time to do it.

I'm currently in cahoots with someone about the water/meth kit I plan on using. Forgot to add that to the list! ](*,)

I know... It is a shame really as I had (still have for the time being) great selection of parts to make an extremely quick car.

But the carrot was waved and I took it! :-)
