here's a little trd prep guide i found in the aw11 faq: When I purchased my new engine (4AGE) from a guy who used to Race Corolla GTS he gave me a TRD engine/suspension prep guide for the AW11 MR2. I believe it is from the old TRD catalog aroud 1990 maybe ?? It gives a brief history of the MR2 an...

Ok, so with this thing getting pretty close to running: what do you guys want to do about the exhaust? the exhaust manifold we have terminates into that HUGE flange. We can get a header for under $100 used i think, but that's really not in the budget right now. Maybe we can find a stock header from an mr...

So Vann is giving us his 15x8" wheels (the ones that were in the back). He got a pair of 7s for the back so they are the same all around. New they are like 60 bucks each, and we'd need a pair to run all 4. What do you guys wanna do? [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/...

Fueling is pretty much the last thing we need to get the car running so we need to plan it out. Stuff we need fuel cell: buy one, use a stock tank, build one or find a junkyard tank that would work good as a fuel cell in the frunk fuel pump: again buy one or get a junkyard pump....

This is the place where we can keep track of how we're going to setup the ecu. Injectors: I believe they're high impedance but if not then we can run some resistors because the flyback board is like 30 bucks Sensors: Clt: needs to be pulled out and check resistance at a few temperatures...

I just got a call from lucas......he's going to donate his seat to us!! Since it doesnt really fit him comfortably, he's looking for another seat. he does have another race seat already, but it has to wait for the roll cage for a back support. in the meantime, he's looking for a s...

THE PRESIDENT · THE PRESIDENT

THE PRESIDENT · THE PRESIDENT

I found these Bicknell calipers that are pretty sweet..apparantly they are willwood knockoffs or something. anyway, their 3000 series which i think is the nicest retail for about 150 a caliper...and they have weld on brackets for 10 bucks. [url=http://www.bicknellracingproducts.com/ca...

THE PRESIDENT · THE PRESIDENT

BE THERE and help out. viet is getting the ecu so we may see some action. two more motor mounts to do, and some finish welding and im sure lots of grinding. even if you dont want to get TOOO dirty, there are small job to do everywhere. usual spot out at my garage, bring some gatorade or somthing cuz i...

i think we can make some nice coilovers w/ the stock bodies and some threaded sleeves and shock inserts. apparently there are weld on sleeves somewhere too. perches [url]http://www.colemanracing.com/catal...

THE PRESIDENT · THE PRESIDENT

dont have a ton of info on these, but the design of the pivot is very interesting. sorta follows what lucas is doing by replacing rubber (or urethane) flex with a pivot.

THE PRESIDENT · THE PRESIDENT

I was looking at the PDF of the mounts we got cut...... It looks like we needed 2 of the first page...also, it says nothing about the rear mount. here's the link so you can look at it and tell me what you think. [url=http://twobrutal.co.uk/files/mounts.pdf]Paul Woods Mount Templates[/...

THE PRESIDENT · THE PRESIDENT

Well i figured i'd start a thread that we can track our progress with the mr2 on. today was my first look at the car in person. My overall thoughts are that the car is really rough. there is a good bit of rust, and with 305,000 miles pretty much everything is worn out. ...
