Took the baffle out of the Nur Spec = HOW LOUD!!!
I know gettign 3S to change the oil is lazy but the Silkolene deal is too good to pass up

Love the car mate one of the nicest MR2s I have seen. Can I ask did you buy it as a fresh import as it seams to have a lot of rare/expensive styling bits on it? I really love the abflug front but cant find one anywhere to buy one.

No it came into the country as a standard GTS mate, look up POW-R tuning they imported and fitted all the kit
Re: Greddy-Matt's Rev3 Tubby **forged engine in!**
OMG!! All original parts, in white. I absolutely love it mate, great buy. Not many of this quality around. I would just get rid of the stickers for a cleaner look, but that's personal I guess.
I *love* how the Abflug front lines up with the rest of the kit. Original border vents... SPOT ON!

The prices of the border parts is staggering!!!!! The side vents alone were about £500
Blokey at PowR was really helpfull and their bodywork looks superb!!! He will get any kit from across the waters for you

Right Im going to run this as a sort of photo diary as I change bits So I thought I'd start by posting up some of the changes I've done to start making this car my own...
First thing was to bin the orange sidelights and re-instate the standard fogs
Before
After
Much prefer the clean look of the new lights and the standard Fogs will be covered in carbon soon
What do you recon? Done plenty more so will post those bits up later
