My MR2's

[Joesson]

Inexplicably all 3 currently 'off the road' , mostly trivial things other bits a wee bit more serious

Black :- simply a flat lithium battery, but sadly found the mobile lithium ion battery booster kaput ....new one ordered

Dark Green 6R4 :- flat lithium ion battery - caused by a missing alternator belt tensioner pulley (fell off somewhere) ..awaiting parts

Light Green :- running on 3 cylinders following a new Zero exhaust install, systematically going thru plugs,coil packs, injectors, o2 + Maf sensors to get this sorted!. What's the new exhaust like? ....it looks nice!

The odds of all 3 being off the road from last Friday am would have been astronomical ....but here we are 

It has been said that bad things come in three's.
Mathematically speaking three twos are six, but in your case three twos are sick!

[SuperArt]

What are the chances.
They'll be running in no time I'm sure.

Black running :- simply a flat battery + a duff lithium ion power pack that refused to charge

Dark Green :- alternator tensioner bracket reinstalled with a few additional parts, but discovered a weeping shock absorber ...ah well at least I have a new one to install

Light Green :- Misfiring woes now cured after swapping out all coil packs,plugs, MAF sensor + O2 sensor followed by testing fuel injectors from a known good running car in here :- magic, all misfiring and emu lights disappeared. <<< So I can now offer an appraisal of the full Zero exhaust. It's pricey, fairly quiet at low revs, a tad noisier + deeper bassed at medium -upper revs .......but most importantly it most definitely is performance enhancing over stock < by how much? worth the expense? probably not, but its a fairly simple straightforward uncomplicated avenue to aiding performance. Lithium ion battery installed on this car also (saving 10-11kg)

The guy who bought the yellow one from me requested if he could keep it at mine. As it's a nice sunny day :- piccies 
So 4 cars on display here

eg of previous installation (minus the fancy ruffle)

[Joesson]

Very nice, a Welsh/ Family/ local tartan or did you just like the pattern/ colours.

[Gibla]

did you just like the pattern/ colours.

Inspired by a previously owned Golf Gti check cloth seat I'm afraid, although your earlier comment re Welsh tartan has a more romantic ring to it

Dark green failed its MOT last Monday:- mostly trivial

eg parking light kaput on the passenger side
headlight aim off
handbrake
emissions:- lambda was 1.05 (but had a partially severed tailpipe on the custom exhaust)

All of the above now attended to with the added bonus of discovering the drop links were kaput:- this has really helped improve the weird handling issues I was having after installing some Yoko 08R tyres (the rear shocks were also not operating as they should with zero rebound despite <12 months old)

Anyways back to where I was ~12 months ago:- I am determined to have a cull
For whatever reason I am planning to keep the MR-S, but will soon have the other two cars up for sale < I only need a 2-car, not 4 car stable.

[Gibla]

Light green car sold to a guy from Caernarfon who had owned a 70's Austin Healey for many years << he is an enthusiast who will definitely join our happy band asap.

 He is genuinely delighted with his purchase.....he should be, that is/was a mint car in fabulous condition. 

Now down to 2 MR2 and a Swift Sport << we will see whether/not it stays like that. The aim should be to get to just 1 MR2, but it's incredibly difficult to choose which should stay/go .......agggh!

It really wouldn't surprise me if I ended up keeping both (but most definitely not be tempted by other 2's for sale....however desirable they may be)

[Gibla]

Past tense here, I owned 4 of these up until recently.

Now only the two on the left FFZ433, FFZ226
