So aside from the Team Dynamics 1.2 which will be coming not too long from now.
Any recommended mods?
I'm running out of ideas  s:) :) s:)

The Celica seats are just in there because I can't be bothered to remove them yet, but they are coming out.

Just wondering what other smaller mods to handling or styling I can do. Particularly handling

It's on the list. But it may indeed be the next mod.

Order of things to come so far is:
- New front bumper (with a lot less stone chips)
- New front tyres on new wheels (Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2, 15x6.5, 16x7). Maybe after next point.
- Visit Steve at D1 Customs to fit subframe, new LUK clutch, new toe bolts in rear, camber bolts, and a proper alignment with a bit of camber in the rear dialed in.
- Service and brake fluid change for 5.1.
- Fix rear view camera. Potentially with new screen location, as I'm not a fan of where I put it. So need new glove compartment lid
- Hardwire kit for dashcam. Just to tidy up the wiring a bit
- TPMS
- Flock spare center console without seat heating switches and swap with existing one. Move seat heating switches to alarm/coin slot by steering wheel.
- Flock other parts of car

I wish!!! I'd absolutely love the dash covered in leather. And my door cars are desperate for a retrim

I really like those, but it would only ever come out on days when the roof was going to remain down. This is not often.

Twin turbo v6?
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The team dynamic wheels will be 7" fronts too as they dont do a 6.5".

Also not seeing anything on the list about colour coded mudflaps.....

Ah, I was going off Helen's MonzaRs which are 6.5 front. Figured they'd do the same for 1.2s.

Forgot about those damn mud flaps haha

It isn't actually. I can;'t think of what color I'd go for if I did change. If my roof were to need replacing, to be completely frank I think i'd just want a black vinyl replacement from another MR2.
Mohair is nice, but the upkeep is harder.
Jack's from Swansea are very nice roofs. I'd consider these, but the quality (as good as it is), isn't what I'd be after for a new roof. The synthetic/natural mix of the roof does appeal to me for upkeep though.

Quote from: "bernie11a"Tough call as black interior !
This. Really the only option is black. Either that, or a dark blue, the same as the blue on the JDM badges. I think I'd get sick of the latter though

Attempt 46 to get connected to my emanage today.
Borrowed a winXP laptop and went for it with both my cable and AndyM's... No luck.
Anybody have a cable I can borrow that they know for a fact works? If that works, I'll know that the cable is the issue.

First of the LEDs came in today.
It's a very unnatural light, but it's miles better than the crappy standard festoon.
Much lighter in the interior now.

What are you doing in there that a clear cover doesnt sort for you?

I think the clear cover looks naff. Personal opinion. So, this has the same effect while keeping the pretty smoked cover  s:) :) s:)

Who cares what it looks like?!
You Dutch are such a scruffy bunch usually.
