Well. We did a thing.
50 litres of tesco's finest.
a set of brake pads.
We managed to finally ruin the rear tyres.

What an absolutely glorious day. Anton (a fellow MR2 enthusiast and the one that currently homes the thing), myself, And Jorge, had a mega day having fun in Anglesey not turning a single spanner.

Oil consumption is now pretty much negligible. Kind of weird, but we healed an engine bashing it to the limiter.

I can't stress enough how cool is to show up to a trackday with that thing, not having to worry about anything, drive it, and then get back home like nothing happened... and I can't believe that nobody else chipped in to get this car. Anton, that was hesitant before actually committing his garage space to host "that thing" jumped out of the car saying "is the best thing I've ever driven, when is the next trackday".

I really hope that if we don't bin it, someone will actually get her when we are done playing with her.

Anyway. No videos, we couldn't deal with the stress of recording it.



I like this picture with a glorious mid engine sportscar.... and a Cayman...







Thanks @AdamR28 we love you

 

I decided to try a new subwoofer. This one has a 6.75 woofer with passive radiator weighing in at 12 lbs but it was worth it over the previous powered sub I was using. This sub enclosure is shallow and fits the passenger foot well with enough leg room for a passenger.



 I knew it would be louder and deeper but I wasn't expecting to sound like a 10" subwoofer.
  I am about sound quality not booming bass but this is probably the loudest subwoofer I have heard for its size where you can actually feel it.

you're welcome

Thanks Jason!!

And now with sound.

YESSSS! Had love over for the weekend so blew the dust off the MR2 in her charming company:

@fawtytoo  in the UK , @Petrus in Spain and iirc @Beachbum957 in the USA are the only SMT owners that I'm aware of.
Some fluids are "Long Life" and your prospective car has not done the miles typically befitting it's age.
Maybe one of the above can share their experience on that topic.

Hi all, I am booked to get a Raymond roof, need to decide on colour, does anyone have a silver with orange cloth and blue roof or red roof?

Also the drain bags £100 a side!! What do they do? My car is dry as I rodded the holes.
