Title: MR2 X-mas buys
Post by: Petrus on December 23, 2019, 22:48
Ordered
- a set of black face masks with filter; Mountain Girl is alergic to pollen so it will do her good in the car and also it is a bit of bōsōzoku fun
- the MR2 tuning book; don´t expect much if anything useful but it will be a fun read and you always learn sómething
- Philips LED replacements for the rear P21/5W bulbs

A bit earlier; waiting to be fitted
- Brembo front discs and pads
- rear roll centre adjusters

Still to buy:
- chrome petrol door cover

As I wrote in a different thread; modding is addictive.
And when you think you CAN NOT POSSIBLY come up with something more, you come up with several things more.

At least I have two restrictions; that less is more and the compliance on the road. This p.e. means that the money for bracings I don´t buy can be spent on lighter wheels.

Oh, please share the rear spoiler!!!
