they're nice! Surely not a factory option on the SW's? Altezza?

[lasersooby]

Hi mate, thanks. These were for the Altezza and I'll make the mod to the TRD footrest cover and also to the actual accelerator pedal pad itself and fit the TRD cover over it. I've got the electronic accelerator pedal out of a Corolla to fit and run with the engine system. They're a pretty close fit

Thanks for the updates! This MR2 is going to be virtually brand new when it's done

Thanks Olaf, if you spoke to my missus, she would tell you that if it is not brand new by the time we finish with this then she would like to know where all the money has gone to.
Hopefully, it will near new once finished

Last week I went up to see the car and do some work on the chassis itself.

Fitting up the fuel pump wiring. I didn't get any photos of the setup as it's not yet complete. Need to mount a new relay that is controlled by the old pump power circuit.

Working with this proper motorsport wiring is a dream! Only downside is my wire stripper doesn't like the thin tough cover on it. Looks like skinny wire but it's mostly copper and barely any insulation. Vs the stuff you buy from SCA it's completely different.

This chassis was NA but the wiring is from a GT so in the body harness in the engine bay is the dual speed fuel pump system. A relay and a resistor. If this 2GR ecu had an output for dual speed I'd have probably suggested we use it but it doesn't so to clean up the engine bay I removed it.

There are a few wires involved but only 2 need to be joint.
The thinner Blue w/Black wires from the relay plug. The rest got capped.

We have bought a fan controller for the intercooler radiator so that the fans don't just run all the time when the car is switched to ON and the engine is off.

We wired up the new fans using some cheaper but thinner wire as these fans don't take much load being small. Still a large gauge vs a lot of car wiring. I say we, because Mo had a go with the Deutsch connector crimp tool too!

The fan controller has 2 circuits so we ran 2 sets of blue and black wires into the frunk through am existing rubber grommet with the temp sensor probe for the radiator. I'm yet to connect the fan controller but we did find a spot to mount it so that will make it easier.

Thanks for driving up to Palmy mate for a very constructive day, I am already looking forward to the next on in early December

Your planning in what needed to be done as well as the additional has been immensely helpful and soon, we will be waiting for the engine to be finished instead of waiting for the body stuff to be completed

I installed some aluminium rings on the gauge cluster for Mo. Quite a good product to be honest but the shape of the bottom of the larger rings isn't quite suited to the actual plastic. But, still fits fine.

Follow the instructions and it's quite simple. Using a pen as specified is an odd request but, it works.

The clear plastic will get a polish to remove the haze and scratches.

Bit off topic, my 2000 GDBSTiV7 Subi Impreza has just ticked over past 43,000kms

Needs more 260kph bashing!

Used Phil's rims to check wheel fitment and work out the setup for my project. I am very grateful to Phil for loaning me his pride and joy rear set of the Yokohama Advan RG-Ds.

We fitted the rim to the front left front firstly without the wheel spacer and with the coilover intact:

Arches have been molded into the guards, and we have to buy a set that will fit under this and fill the arches as well:

We removed the springs off the coilover to check travel and Phil worked out the specs for the rims that we needed. Fitted the 330mm Supra rotors then the 20mm wheel spacer (no concentric ring yet, have to order them), spacer images on Page 27, then the rim.

This is what we have ordered direct from Japan:
Brand: Yokohama Advan GT Premium Version in Dark Bronze Metallic colour
Front: 18 x 9 +25
Rear: 18 x 9.5 +12
Centre Caps: V3240 - Dark Bronze with White Lettering
Wheel Nuts: V0264 - M12 x 1.5 H17 Black

Bought the mounting from Marc at Frankenstein Motorworks, it is designed for the LH drive SW20s and needed a small modification to fit the RH drive setup. Once the mod was made )new mounting hole and re-shaped the base to fit around the OEM setup then installed the pedal to test it out
