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!

    • Yeah, you need to do it properly. You need to start out slow and gentle, ramping it up until they are good and hot, but not cooking, then roll off the other side (instead of letting them cool down quick).
    • I think yeah less hot fuel dumping into the top of the tank that wants to evaporate easily, fewer connections/hoses for permeation. Something like that. Also lower cost/easier production. Even my 2000 LS400/Celsior is a deadhead system. A single fuel hose to the fuel rails which have pulsation dampers attached and no return line.
    • I might do a few more high temp bed ins as described here.  I have a nice quiet 80kph road right near me.  How To Bed-In Your EBC Brakes For Street Or Track Use - EBC Brakes https://share.google/AjnOTILXoiqQnLu8p  
    • I did a few 80-0 stomps. I then just rode the brakes while I applied throttle for a while to get them nice and hot. I live on a big hill and have been down it a few times also with stomps and brake riding.
    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
