one of the drains was almost blocked, I had tried to clear it previously with the roof on, but with roof off I found I hadn't done a very good job. At least it was a doodle to clean at this point and is now like new  s:) :) s:)



with the roof back on we made a new blue friend  s:) :) s:)

I confess to being a bit dissapointed with my georgebrace. It certainly stiffens the car and takes away some of the scuttle shake, but there is still more scuttle shake in the car than I would like. But I don't want a hardtop so I will live with it.

next up I have ordered some KYB shocks  s:) :) s:)

Got the KYB s fitted, very pleased, really shows how tired the old ones were.

Then got the chance to give the car a good clean inside and out  s:) :) s:)

With an upcoming weekend trip I decided to do the alarm move to create some extra luggage space.

Thanks again to the how to on this site  s:) :) s:)



the weather wasn't great, but the mr2 was, and I even felt like it handled better with my wife in the passenger seat and 25kgs of luggage in the front. got me considering some ballast!

Next consideration are some tein springs. since fitting the new shocks I think the front sits even higher. Although it would only be for the looks as I am delighted with the handling at the moment, especially as where I live the roads are really bumpy and she handles the bumps really well.

Got the tein springs fitted, they certainly are good for what they are. Then I couldn't resist this  s:) :) s:)

I thought I would have a go with the matt black vynil paint that is supposed to peel off.
