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

[Tanel]

Orded a new radiator from ebay, should arrive in the end of the week.
I got offers from 250 to 350euros from car shops.
And 150shipped from ebay
Could have used some other car's used radiator like i did with my previous mr2. (used e36 325i one), but i wanted a new one for this car.

Also need a knock sensor, but new original one cost's wayyy too much.
Thinking of buying knocklink g4 knocklight with a bosch sensor they offer. but i dont know if i can replace the original one with it.
Will the ecu recognize signal from it?

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.

[Jorgen]

Need to see this live, perfect.

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

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.

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 :|

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.

[Miroteknik]

Its already looking better! Keep it going!

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.

[Tanel]

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.

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.
