Interior completed -- temporarily installed glued together lower instrument finish panel -- I have another on the way from someone on mr2oc. Still have a hole where the shift boot goes -- but I have one on the way too. I also need to redow the inside panel on the left door -- have the panel but I'm still working on the power windows (I have power on the left and manual on the right)

Set the timing properly last week. Engine seem to run nicely. Seems to take quite some time to come down from 1800 rpm on a cold start to idle at 800 idle.

Bought one day licence and insurance for tomorrow -- plan to take it thru aircare then. Let u know what happens.

It was sure great to take the MR2 on the road again. Everything seems fine. A bit of vibration due to urethane engine mounts.

However, it didn't make aircare -- failed on Hydrocarbons and Carbon Monoxide on the driving test; 258.00 on Hydrocarbons (235 allowed) and CO 7.12 (1.73 allowed)
