Title: 2nd MR2, track car
Post by: KRAMSNEHPETS on October 9, 2018, 23:02
Am due to have delivered to me this week and oil burning MR2 followed by a Celica 190 for the donor 2ZZ lump next week.
Want to make this into a track car for some fun.
Am on the look out for some used coil overs, any sort of brace bars etc.Conversation manifold, exhaust etc
Car is a silver 2001, Will be looking to sell off the side skirts and front spoiler

I am expecting delivery of a new manifold for my 2ZZ through a group buy.

You are more than welcome to the one that is on my car (approx 10 months old, and in perfect condition) if you are happy to cover the postage from Ireland which is about £15

was a great day at snetterton today. only issue was when I was giving a lotus a hard time when a main engine coolant hose blew off and dumped itself instantly!. spotted the steam in rear view mirror before any damage done. fixed in about half hour. Handling great with bc coilovers and nankang AR1 tyres
