E51 Gearbox with LSD

Lowered 1" all round on KYB Shocks

I take delivery of it next wednesday. went down to the shopfront to order some YAW11S black slimline plates, but they were taken ;) so i'm thinking YAW11M instead.

Yeah nice ride, congrats matey!

If you haven't already seen them you might want to check out the High Octane DVD series, they do up an MR2 as a project car in a few of the earlier episodes - from memory it was a yellow turbo job that gets hi flowed, fat body kit etc.

Also has some interesting Skyline stuff as well, like a 326km speed run with a GTR on a narrow wet road out in the NZ boonies somewhere, and a GTS4 -> GTR project car.

PM me if you want to know where to hire em from as cheapo weekly rentals.... :)

This car i'll be keeping until i finish uni and get into a full time job (two years atleast)

Car and engine are only at 115k kms, so nothing too huge. I'll have to go over the Dickson pits for rego, but it should be fine, has already been engineered for side intrusion bars and all that stuff.

Mods? Pod filter relocation first off, then exhaust and headers (no loud cannon this time :S), HKS/Cusco overdrive pulley kit, bigger TMIC.

There's a red AW11 MR2 in Sydney owned by a guy who works at UAS...ran a 10sec 1/4 a couple of years ago, he had 270rwkw or somethinig like that - i don't aim that high, but it won't be too hard or costly getting some good times.

Got some plans for her, the white wheels from my seca are going on too, same fit - cheering!

Money was paid today, forms will arrive friday, car to be freighted on monday, and arrives at my door wedsnesday, can't wait!

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
