Very tidy, does the gearknob usually sit so low or is it some sort of shifter :?:

Go for more power :lol:

Cheers guys :)

they do sit low but i also have a TRD short shifter with a drop plate that makes it even lower, the throw from 1st to 2nd is now about 3cms. took some getting used to but its crazy how fast i can change gear now :)

been looking into T3/T4 turbo kits from KO racing in the US should make things interesting lol

Very Nice MR2, Nice spec list too.

You could go for a forged rebuild as quite a few of the internals in the 3SGTE are good for 400 BHP+, however it seems that alot of GT4 owners who have gone for forged build & run over 350 BHP seem to need deep pockets to throw money at things like Motec ECU's & plently of mapping sessions to get the most out of the rebuild.
You thought about a Blitz Access "plug & play" ECU?? It runs a leaner map than Toyota's so it goes better & i get better economy on a motorway run too.

If you feel like coming out to "play" the Toyota Sprint Series is in it's first year & only has one event left, but it's gonna be back next year & should be bigger & better. We had a sprint at RAF Woodbridge 17/08, had i known sooner i'd have invited you to come along, even if just for a watch.

By the way, do you mind me asking what you paid for your Charge Cooler?? As i'm gonna go FMIC soon so will be trying to sell mine.

Welcome to the club.
