Hi all, newbie to the forum from Northern Ireland. I have an 00 Mr2 with 61k on it. It was bought as a father son project/track day/road car last winter. We have been to 3 local track days (Kirkistown) and each time added something else to the spec list which so far consists of;

EBC yellow stuff pads on standard discs (for now) and EBC lines
2 new rear brake calipers
Motul race fluid
Nankang NS2R 195/50/15 on all 4 corners
K&N panel filter
Malian Cat back exhaust

So far having great fun on track. Obviously isn't the fastest thing out on track but its well balanced and offers so much grip its great fun to throw about!

We will be aiming for a winter fluids change, suspension change and poly bushings....and maybe some more Malian goodies

Welcome aboard! Seems like a great project so far. Any future plans or just more seat time? :)

Welcome aboard.

Car looks good and the home workshop (if that's what it is) looks pretty special as well.

Enjoy the ride.

Oh yes.

@dnmhd86 - You've got to tell us a bit more about the workshop? Is that yours, a neighbours, a lock up somewhere or something else?

😂 thanks all for the kind comments! Unfortunately the workshop isn't mine, it is my father in law's garage which he kindly lets me use as I please.

He's a big petrolhead so out of shot is a Jag XKR, a classic tractor and in another shed sits an '86 Capri 2.8 Special.

It's a dreamland for anyone into cars and farm machinery lol.

Hey Dan, I thought I smelt a fellow RMS'er  ;D

Haha! Good to hear from you Jay! Didn't see you at the last track day, planning any more this season?

Think the next one is the 12th, got a lot of building work going on at the house so unsure if I'm coming or going at the minute.  Will all depend on the weather I guess!

You set for another or have you more tweaking to do?
