Your car looks fantastic.
When I went looking for a roadster I wanted a black one as I really wanted to do something like what you have done here, they look really aggressive when done like that, But I ended up with a red one which is still good but I will need to go in a different direction. When I had a Black Toyota Chaser I had something similar going on with that car.

thanks buddy, you can easily change the colour of any mr2 as all the panels un-bolt which is handy and much cheaper than a respray. always had a soft spot for the Chasrer would love a big VIP jap salon

cheers tommy

looking great.

that looks really nice, always liked the chasers, were you running a 1jz or 2jz or anything like that?


cheers tommy

1JZ single Turbo, they used to be twin Turbo but got revised in 1995 to the single Turbo VVT-i which was a better system. I had both a 1JZ in my Chaser and a 2JZ in my Supra, the 1J was more rev happy but the 2J had more torque. I only have the Roadster and a Nissan Cube at the moment and that suits my pocket as my other cars were costing me over 2,343 pounds just in tax(Ireland).

blimey thats some serious tax in Ireland! you have had 2 of my favourite cars from the Toyota family apart from the MR2 and 2 of the greatest ever engines. one day i might get to own a 2jz supra but doubt it the way prices are going for pretty much all Jap cars from the 90s

HI All

been a while since ive done anything on my thread, not much has happened really with the car just been using it as much as possible did a track day at outlon in the cold last weekend and a few pics below.

i have to say going from a staggered setup to square has made the world of difference, the car is much faster around a lap and can carry vastly more corner speed and just handles better all round definitely made the right choice.















cheers tommy

Interesting to hear about the square set up. Does it work on the road too?

Looking forward to seeing the car at Ding day I hope?

Hi Topdownman

yeah it definitely made the ride better on the road i can only describe it as much less crashy over bumps and stuff.

when going to the square setup we went from rota to enkeis so not sure if the reduction in weight / unsprung mass has made the ride better on the road.

we lost 10kg on the rear and about 5kg on the front so its a big saving in unsprung mass

overall it has transformed the car all round really much more than i ever expected.

yeah we'll defo be at dingday this year

cheers tommy

Nice to see you guys still at it.

I'm sure the decrease in weight would of made a big difference just on its own.

Love this car....what tires are you running?

@tommyzoom99 what tires are you using? I switched to winter tires in 195/55 square and the steering changed for sure. I will be shopping for summer tires as my advans are too harsh for long rides and wanted to ask what you are running. Got lightweight forged wheels too

Still going scotte mate, hammering track day as usual 😂

We use advan ad08r 205-50-15 at he moment, it's not a daily so don't really swap tyres for winter, the new ado8rs havnt had the best reviews so going to change to Dunlop or advan semi slicks once these are dead

Cheers Tommy

Ah the new AD08R haven't been well reviewed? Well that's a bummer.

Quote from: 1979scotte on January 22, 2020, 19:34Ah the new AD08R haven't been well reviewed? Well that's a bummer.

Not from what I seen mate, pretty much universely slammed as much worse than the previous iteration.

They made the compound harder and gives less grip.

For the road I don't think the difference would out me off but as a track tyre they ain't what they used to be.

So just gonna go all out on those
Dunlop Direzza DZ03G from speaking to people at trackdays who run them and alot of the high performance cars I deal with at work, there ment to be one of the best semi slick so gonna give it a go.

Cheers Tommy

Have you thought about nankang aR1's?
Lots of people say they are a brilliant compromise between a slick and a semi slick tyre because they are basically a cut slick.
