Only just realised, mine's also a black 03 plate. Do like the alloys you've picked up.

I think Patrick has ordered most of them parts for me / got them on his shelf!

Mine is a bit tatty on the bumpers and bonnet but it was cheap and I plan to change the bumpers at some point to!

It will keep me busy for a while. Well once my foot puts itself back together anyway!

Cheers Dave. Will def keep that in mind. Got Vinny helping out at the mo. He's done a few conversions on mk2's and mk3's. Looking forward to the learning curve.

Matt performance Central brace
Meister R coilovers
El creation front bumper and a TRD rear valance!
Front splitter with built in under tray!

And finally wilwood brake kit for the front!

This has been proven to increase front end grip!



Most of this is going to get fitted after it comes back from Patrick but it's gearing towards being track ready for Japfest!

You've been busy!!

What flywheel and sump you go for ?

I'm just going with a standard Exedy clutch, don't think I'd need a updated one?

Can't wait to fit my brakes

Guess you'll need to trim it down a lot to fit the bumper?

Have you got a link for that front splitter by any chance? I've just been looking at flat floors and considering what would be best to do.

Do you know if it is properly effective (i.e. you can stand on it?)

Thanks

Well car has gone down to Patrick today, it was very much like a mini meet, with Andy and Andy down there, mark and then even the boss turned up! My original plan of trying to put the engine in the passenger side didn't work, its bigger than I thought so had to do a last minute van hire and drove down in that. Actually worked out cheaper than putting it on a pallet!

I got the bumpers they i got off vinny, unfortunately the rear bumper got heavily scratched in transit on my way back and well after polishing the best i could, it is going to need a respray!

So fingers crossed an some point in about 3/4 weeks time, possibly sooner ill be seeing what the 2zzge is like in the MR2...

So list of things i think I still need to get.

Rear spoiler.
Rear diffuser.
TTE or similar twin exit exhaust.
Side skirts.

I think that would be it for now after that!

 Big thank you to Mark or meeerk. Mis calculated how big two bumpers and an undertray would be and well one thing didn't fit. He brought it down to patricks for me and i was able to transport it back in the van, so again thank you for that  s:) :) s:) .

Got a little pic from Patrick today, he's done a few bits to it like swapping the looms and putting on the sunp and pulleys, he's even cleaned it for me which I didn't even ask him to do.

To be honest I never had a good proper look at it, looking at others you only really get to see the top of the engine when it's in the mr2 so I was just going to polish that up a bit.
