i need to do a thorough cleaning of my doorjams and lid frunk and trunk lining areas since i never have done it once on my mr2, luckily it is not too dirty at all but will add that little extra sparkle

Hi, i'm new to these forums.

Thought i'd start with this

My winter project was fixing my blown head gasket, blew it out on new years. Now looking to a cut out cat (haha, no aircare in prince george! ) And soon to get my engine running properly again. I have a vacuum leak, basically the vsv that does the t-vis is broken and is just one big leak, and became ultra apparent to me when i burnt 3/4 only by doing something like a 150 to 180 kilometer trip. Also looking to maybe swap in a manual tranny by summer (i have the auto box :'()

Hope all you guys have success with your various projects

this is my early winter project,
ReDrum Racing shrouds/spals/LCG rain guard mod

[jdmr2]

Well since my engine let go shortly after installing my new gt3071r combo kit from ats racing this summer, needless to say my list is pretty long. As for what i'm going to do, i dont know yet. All i do know is that it's gonna be a forged bottom end, hks cams and gears, better valves and springs, and possibly a pfc. I dont know if i'll get a re tune from ats. I'm open to any suggestions that anyone might have as for i've never done anything like this before.

Damn, that's a pretty intensive list, and it sounds like a lot of good upgrades.

I already put the brakes in, now i have still have a nightmare of a list to do on that car

[macatak]

heres a couple of hint's on my winters project;

[Cameron]

That engine bay is looking impressive!

[immorality]

That's the cleanest, shiniest transmission I've ever seen!

[macatak]

how else can you keep it in the living room next to the "Big Comfy Chair"

[bbarnumboy]

i've thought of polishing the tranny hey Duncan whats with the swirls on the chrome plug plate

[macatak]

Martin,
it's polished stainless, major PIA to keep clean.
that's mostly just dust and a dry cloth.
not nearly as bad as the heat shield on the dizzy,that one is just pointless
but i know it's there
I'm going to have to give it a good polish and then get some wax on it.
same as the strut bar
otherwise, I'll be doing this every time I open the lid

and it all started because the front crank seal was leaking
