Sideways mr2 driven by Russian with broken leg IS BACK! [MR2 GTS, W201]

[Tanel]

Thank's guy's.

Yea 30psi is way too much. Boost gauge is electric, i hope it lies.
I'm trying my friends gauge as soon as i can.

I graduated yesterday, now i've got time to work on the car.

[Tarmac180sx]

props to you good sir. Your last one was a beaut so I have high hopes for this one good luck to you!

[Tanel]

Few things done.
Lowered boost to 20psi, still fast enough
New indikator and parking lights, also switched the wires on the plug. Now the bigger part of the light is parking light so i can use them as day lights and smaller is indicator.
Painted the bumper, but gonna redo it.
Got the popup lights to work properly too, and put the tuning lights with HID's in them.
Aligned the trunk and engine cover.
New radio, and few other things.

Also sold my e34 525tdsA so now i can buy and do few things.

Still havent decided what wheels to use for stance. Cheaper way would be shooters but to get them fit properly i need coilovers, but cant aford decent set at the moment.
Fittipaldis are too narrow, would like them atleast 10 inch wide in rear, that means i need to mod the fenders coz these fuckers are "unredrillable" (made new word i guess )

For start im try to make racing look, Fittis with 205/40, 215/40 ,cutting coils a bit (not going lowww) and make them fit as good as i can with adapters+ spacers when needed.

Painted the bumper again. (before painting)


Wheels on (stock height)


Fortunately i got lowering springs cheap. Gonna cut rears a bit.
Ended up with 15mm adapters front and rear 20mm adapters+ 8mm spacers.


As soon as i got out of the garage, it started snowing.

Today i ordered Innovate mtx-l wideband lambda and some Simons stuff for exhaust. Will get them on monday, hope to mount everything next week.

Talking to myself

Alternator belt snapped so i replaced it in my girlfriends driveway (jacked up on the pic)


Then got some things.


Tried to change the thermostat, but a bolt snapped, like always. Still dont have my own drill, so i have to wait till friday.

Something sparkling under the coolant filling gap.
Do i have to worry about it?
Metallic red coolant



Some tools for wideband install.


Took pic's of wiring, soldering and other stuff too, but they came out realy sh*tty.

Also relocated boost cauge. Now i have to make a nice bracket for these. Not the best place to keep a eye on tho.


And Friday is the exhaust making day After that a proper wash and photoshoot.

[Zozr]

Nice man, I love mr2's

[Evilist]

that metallic shit in your radiator is a big concern looks like someone put stop leak in there at some point. It will be all trough the motor :|

[Miroteknik]

Its already looking better! Keep it going!

I second this. I would do a serious flush(es) and wait for the leak to happen then fix said problem that is bound to reappear one day and wreak havoc on your cooling system.

Side note: Love Mr2's, looking forward to where this goes.

[Tanel]

just yesterday thought that PO's have done decent job (wiring and stuff), now i **** him/them.
there's like 10miles of coolant hoses to wash
Afraid this shit will blockage coolant canals or something when i'm washing it.
But i'll give it a try.

[Tanel]

A little progress again.

Dumped this


And fitted a new one. Friend helped with welding.


ofcourse i forgot to take pic's of the finished new exhaust, were too excited to hear the sound.




also gotcrash bolts from toyota.




Put max camber on all corners, rolled rear fenders and lowered rear.


And then went to a little photoshoot with a friend.




Three wheelin'


And now few decent pic's







Soundcheck is coming soon

[Jorgen]

Need to see this live, perfect.

[ChristopherJason]

Beautiful MR bud, ive always had a soft spot for them

[Tanel]

There's some rust, and real "race scars" what you cant see on these pic's, but these things make it perfect for me. I can drive a shit out of it and dont have to worry about stupid things
Jorgen, I'll be @ ülemiste meet tomorrow.
