Oh and also booked the ferry today for my epic Nurburgring trip :evil:

savage job they turned out well, is the autoglym deep shine only for dark cars?

Kcd dude know I have something else I can polish watching the telly. Might try to get all the lights working together while I am at it.

@cozzy, I think they do one for light colours as well, I find it brilliant on dark colours
@got92tubby, cheers mate, I was surprised how easily they came up, will probably my do them again but hadn't much time to spend on them today, this was more of a test run than anything else

Really nice! I might try that myself, when r u heading to the Ring?

Go for it lad, they actually look a lot better in person and they always bugged me

heading there 16th august to the 30th, this is the route as it stands right now

That is sick! a Dream trip in my opinion, but the way things are going I would be more than glad to go to Le Mans.

Ya it's something a few of us have wanted to do with years so we finally decided to stop talking about it and just do it, needless to say I'll be putting plenty of pics up here when I'm back

Very nice!

Thats unreal msn would love to do that trip how much it gonns cost u reckob? Thats at least 4000 km crazy miles... but well worth it id take a loan out jus to di it .

cheers lads, aiming to have 3-4k going so I can be comfortable, petrol will be split between driver/passenger so won't be too bad that way. will be heading over with 2 R32 skylines (one of which has an epic built engine, carbon boot floor, actual carbon roof etc etc etc!) and one camper/van carrying a turbo'd,cynos engined boxy starlet, should be interesting

Did I see recently on another post that you were looking to change your exhaust. What were you thinking of replacing yours with

haha cheers man, are they performance jocks?
Will be keeping this exhaust, must be someone else you're thinking of

So your telling me my six year old is right he is always saying if you snoze you lose. Hope it works well and you really enjoy it. Hopefuy by the the time I have my car ready I will have found one

Haha pretty much! 6 years old and he already grasps the basic concept of mr2 ownership, nice work

Cheers mate, run has changed a small bit, going to head to lake Garda in Italy for a night or 2 now as well

right so lads, another little update....

I was offered a 92 import mr2 a week or so ago but I decided against it as i'd prefer to have just one sw20 to concentrate on Happily enough my friend who has a breakers yard decided to buy it so I get to buy the bits I want without having to store the whole car, thank god for good mates

anyway I took a few pics of the stuff I'll be taking. Ignore the dirt of the items as car hasn't been washed inside or out in months, hopefully most of the stuff will come up nice enough to use

door cards with tweeters..

Bit of exciting news today, I found an incredibly rare and authentic JDM part in my car today when I was changing my glovebox. Dont think this was a factory option but maybe some one can confirm...here are the pics.....

right so boredom and having a dodgy radio lying around got the better of me over the weekend. I know it looks a bit strange with the 2 cd players but it was just for a bit of fun. Boost controller not hooked up yet but said i'd make a little holder for it
