Im very lucky in that respect as she loves it . I only wanted to go once but here we are three years and trips later :)

I did the same trip in August and cant wait to go back next year :)

I still think you should still have given me the keys just so I could test it for you :)

Yes fully stock .

The words ( watch this ) come to mind

I have herd / read that switching maps can be a problem as the car did have there CP2 stage 2 map on the car and then has the CP4 map on the car now running the hybrid turbo so this is something I will look in to as with this turbo set up and running an Evolutions chip map cars are making 310...

I put this down to you running last and the rollers freeing up :) A good result and running in correctly must have helped this .

The RS4 was the best sounding car there by far . A V8 at 8000 rpm what can you say apart from amazing .

Many thanks Tim Had a great day and It was good to see some faces and some great cars running . Alan

I live in Pagham so close ish

I gave the car a wash at the weekend and took the car for a good long drive and its reminded me just how good this little thing is now . The one and last thing it will need will be the LSD as this will make the car perfect and will allow all of the extra power to be deployed all of the time ...

Yes I had been looking at that and got the shift bush and PPE induction from them .

That is pretty much bang on and also the G/F asking why we now need a new track car :) Im going to use the 140 BHP motor for a bit first then look to swap this out for the 2ZZ unit later . Alan

Another little update I installed my PPE induction intake that I got from the USA that sits behind the battery where the side air scoop is . WP_20171007_12_55_53_Pro[1] by Alan Kaveney, on Flickr WP_20171007_12_56_04_Pro[1] by Alan Kaveney, on Flickr Then I change the shifter bush to...

At the weekend I cracked on with some more work on the MR2 . To gain access to the exhaust and other bits I removed the rear bumper to free up some room . WP_20170930_12_59_40_Pro[1] by Alan Kaveney, on Flickr Then removed the manifold , cat and exhaust system ...

Very small update The car is now up on axel stands and wheels off so I can start removing and fitting parts . The only thing done other was a change of the old spark plugs . WP_20170923_14_59_19_Pro[1] by Alan Kaveney, on Flickr I have a fair few bits coming this week exhaust , manifold...

Depends what hot hatch we are talking about as the new ones are all turbo driven so have loads of torque low in the rev range .

As much a I may joke about more power there does come a point where you have a car that is just too fast to drive and enjoy all of the power band unless you are doing some silly speeds . I think it is like money every one wants more of the stuff . Alan

You can never have too much power :)

It's sold now Ok sounds easy ish I will have to have a look in to this

I will look to run the 140 engine first to see how I get on with that and a low weight but might be tempted to stick the 190 engine in sooner :)
