After trusting the guys @ rimrenov8 colchester with colour choice I now have this, what do you think?

It's a TVR paint and looks black until direct sunlight hits then the colours pop from all angles, pictures can't do them justice

Yes, I like those Steve - don't scuff them though!

Looks good, I guess that's an amalgam of the various colours you've had over the various 2's you've enjoyed.
Pleased to see someone with your 2 experience choosing  Falken's

Tony, bet it's only a matter of time til he swaps them for something else

And I thought it was the ladies that are supposedly fickle!

Falken tyres have been good to me, these SP alloys were originally mine that I bought back recently. I replaced the tyres just before I sold the car and they hadn't covered many miles since.

In my opinion the SP12s are the best suited wheels for any modified 2 Subject to someone looking to increase wheel size over stock

But I'm sure this has been discussed before

Soo many random colours when the light hits them 

Crazy colours

Dropped my car off yesterday to have a few more ponies added, should have it back by the end of the week.
I'm looking forward to the drive home

Where'd you drop it off? And is this The go faster stripe kind of extra power or a bolt on?

The car should be considerably faster on my return trip home.

I love how these wheels have captured your attention. I'd like you are memorised by then.

I bet the kids are now like...
"Yeah dad, they change colour... we know!!"

They are kinda cool though. 😂

Collected the car yesterday

Fresh gear oil
Full service
Plus a Megillian full underbrace

As much as the drive home being much quicker, the under-brace was the biggest surprise! Turn in and scuttle shake hugely reduced and something I've over looked many times

Few jobs left to do then project complete :-


Then a much needed clean and detail (Pics to follow)


Question being what next?

I have the most enjoyment hunting down the rare parts and building / modifying
(Not forgetting cleaning them)

The S12VEA you all know can't keep a car for long but what should I do next?

I have a few other car calling me.....

Answers on a postcard

P.s you all know I've had lots of MR2s but what's my total owned car count?

Couple of hundred faultless miles covered  in some crazy UK heat and all seems good

I really have enjoyed building this car and sourcing all those rare parts and everything has come together nicely but....I've been naughty and driven a couple of gt86 and I think I'm tempted

Subject to finding a suitable car she maybe in the for sale section shortly

loving this thread, that's dedication to the '2

I spotted a very nice car on ebay that looks remarkably similar to your avatar... but the description doesn't mention the turbo or the underbrace - are you removing them for sale, or are you working on a few cars?

That would be mine, unfortunately the only way to recover my investment is to remove the above

They both have gone to new home and will be installed shortly

GT86 hunt is currently on and I'm viewing something tomorrow which on paper looks perfect

This blue mr2 is possibly one of the best condition cars for sale currently and I'm sure the next owner will continue the enjoy

Investment? Not heard these cars referred to in that way before... any tips for those of us looking to grow our money pile?

Any tips to acquire a money pile initially?

Not many left in this sort of condition and mileage.

Wish I had tips to share

Or the lottery numbers

Well I did think that with everyone wearing "masks" now could be a good time for bank robbers, with everybody looking the "same" but when I went into our village chemist for the first time wearing one they recognised me. So that idea won't work for me!

My Mr2 was collected last week and headed down to sunny Plymouth to become stable mate to his mk2 Rev5 so going to a good home

After many false starts and a couple of wasted journeys I have collected my replacement

2014 GT86 TRD edition

One of only 177 cars made and very few in Black

Nice    thankfully it hasnt got that god awful huge rear spoiler option on it!
