I'm good with the bushing for now. If it starts getting sloppy I'll have to find something else because now the hole is larger than the CRW bearing.

I haven't updated this thread in a while, but I did have a couple of noteable updates recently. First off:

187,500 miles = 300,000km

...and secondly, I received third place in the mk2 MR2 class at this years Toyotafest in Long Beach!

Thanks guys! It's been a lot of work to this point, but I'm going to have to do something more to get to that 2nd or maybe even 1st place next year.

Not many updates lately, but here's one, Pegasus HID kit. I haven't bothered to wire in the angel eyes. I might do that a little later down the road.

Got rear ended on Friday. Fortunately there's not much damage, just a little scrape. Too bad the guy was a total fucktard, didn't even apologize, just kept trying to tell me that it's no big deal.

Stopped at a traffic light and I can only guess that it was too hard to concentrate on holding his foot on the brake while checking to see that the light was indeed still red at the same time.

They've been coached up the hoo-hah never to apologize as that admits fault (as if rear-ending someone isn't enough :roll: )

Make sure you check those support braces under the bumper cover, these types of light hits eventually end up sagging the bumper cover where it meets the quarter.

I'm going through this whole thread, Russ. Good work. Inspiring, I may get someone to do this for me when my engine eventually dies in a few years.
