Bit of an update on the MR2

[Infinity]

At the moment they are just behind the dash panel. I will either find somewhere for the foglight switches to go (front and rear) or I do have a few small round rocker switches in my toolbox which I could easily slip in somewhere nice and discreet. The tell-tales are on the instrument cluster so they don't need lights in the switches for the MOT

I'd probably go for the discreet rocker switch option, as the amount of times you actually need your fogs are few and far between in this country

Exactly I'm more likely to need them for the MOT than actual fog

Im thinking this would be better in projects Jem - mind if I move it??

I was just thinking this would be a good non s body project as well

Jem is that the colour on a special edition car?

Please do

Jem is that the colour on a special edition car?

Not that I know of, it's Caribbean Blue, which I think was a standard colour.

It got a clean today, so some shameless picture whoring

Excuse the crappy phone pics:

Next job is to make all four red lights as the back work as tail/brake lights. Currently the outer pair ans stop/tail, and the inner pair are just fog lights. There is a trick with P600 diodes which allows all for to work as stop/tail, and the inner pair to also work as foglights. I don't know alot about diodes, will any P600 diode do the job?

P600 just looks like the package of the diode i.e. a cylindrical shape with a lead out of each end and a certain size. As long as the spec of the diode exceeds the volts and the amps it is likely to see it should work fine.

Thanks John.

Added some carbon goodness this week

[Jem]

It's off to the bodyshop next week

This is how my car looked at 1pm today

Yeah it was by no means tatty at all, but I'm a fussy phucker when it comes to paint

[piman2k]

Can I see a picture of your TVR please.

Can I see a picture of your TVR please.

Since it's a thread about his MR-2 - probably not

Drove a total of 400 miles today to pick this up

Engine, ECU, flywheel, gearbox and driveshafts, and only done 35k miles

There is nothing at all wrong with the engine in mine, it's still making 175bhp, but it has done 120k.

I plan on taking the head off, port matching and flowing it, maybe a skim to raise the compression and some higher lift/duration cams, then rebuilding with new oil seals, cambelt and tensioners and clutch. Then dropping it in

I can then use my old inlet manifold to fabricate my Independent Throttle Body idea
