So the car has been on the back burner for a little while.

We've been doing the drive, which has been a mammoth task.

Our house sits on a hill and has a natural spring running through the drive and round the side of the house. So we've had lots of ground drainage put in.

It's had over 120t of bad ground removed and back filled with 75mm, 50mm and 25mm stone. The end is in sight now with tarmac in the next couple of weeks.








This has meant the two has been seriously neglected.









I was pondering what to do with the rear arches as they're in quite bad condition and have been rolled and pulled to within an inch of their life.

I'd contemplated rocket bunny arches and wider wheels.

Ended up spotting a post from Jspec, just had a new sable in fro breaking.

Some beer tokens later and two new rear quarters and a new engine lid are. Ow on their way down to me.

Plan is to put the car back to as standard as possible in terms of looks.

I hate the term OEM+, but something like that or the GT3 RS track spec vibes.

Essentially if Toyota had done a big power track spec version.

I suppose Roadster GR spec. Which is quite apt as they're my initials too.

Thanks, sometimes timing gets chosen for you...

Looking forwards to being able to work on my UK 54 plate spyder soon, have started collecting parts for it and will have some go fast goodies from my garage the US when our household goods arrive.

Welcome back! Could've picked a better time to come back to the UK but for all that's wrong with this place at least our beloved cars remain a relatively affordable vice.
Happy modding and driving!

General / Re: TF300 List number & colour

Quote from: MikeB on Yesterday at 14:40Oh wow, that's interesting, next number on to the 'suspicious 258' Yellow one. How does the VIN compare to the yellow one? (ending 5908) I know there are other confirmed TF's with VIN below & above this car which may indicate TF258 in yellow was within the final 300 UK models.

They didn't make a yellow TF, I know of the car and checked directly with Toyota when it first surfaced many years ago

many errors on that car the only thing TF is the rear square badge

Quote from: Brackers on November 12, 2022, 18:38I have finally fixed my troublesome MR2 Roadster alarm.It was going off 25 seconds after locking it. Following the diagnostic process, identified the cause as the interior movement sensor. I swapped it out for one from a breaker on ebay. The sensor appears to be used across several Toyota models of the period. To access the sensor, you need to remove the centre console and both storage bin doors. To remove the centre console requires you to unbolt the seats (4 x 14mm bolts), allowing access to the front console screws. No need to  take the seats out of the car. The sensor is stuck to the body using double sided tape.

I did a search & came across this.....I asked on here a few months ago & wasn't made aware of this. Same fault.  Thanks 'Brackers'

@WillM

That brace could be one of the complete set that @Snelbaard produces, have a look in The market place/ Commercial sales on here.
