His wife died and he gave up acting to look after his kids
There were rumours of a SB2.  Apparently Mel Brooks would only do it if he could get Rick to come out of retirement

He's released a few "country" albums as well and done some voice work for animated films, he's one of those actors you don't realise how many films you've seen with them in until you sit and think about it.

Will you lot f off and spam someone elses thread.
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.

How does the v6 get its engine management sorted anyway? Is it running the stock ECU in tandem?

Small update.
Averaged 31mpg on the motorway to ding day and back happy with that.
Have a small fluid leak from somewhere. its dripping from the gearbox bell housing but after sending a few pics to headcase he reckons it could be the rocker cover gaskets and its dripping all the way down.

Fitted FL rear lights at ding day have the fronts to do next.
Also have camber bolts, roll centre adjusters and adjustable rear droplinks to fit. Wont do those until next year probably and then go to WIM for a setup.

You will have to explain that one.

I thought you could adjust the camber with the meister coilover set up, is that not the case?

Seconded. You need camber bolts for the rear ones. I swapped them prior to alignment right after I fitted the MeisterR's
I can't recall a day when I drove my MR2 and it didn't put a smile on my face

GT4 play.
Stupink thinks they make a big difference.
Worth a try.

Oil leak sorted. Cam sensor needed sealant.
Earthed the temperature sensor back to the ECU so that should stop playing silly buggers.
Raised the ride height by 10mm.
Sorted the squeaky breaks.
Need new off side rear caliper handbrake won't behave.

Thinking about the rotrex.
May run it without an ECU up to 5 PSI.
We shall see.
