how come u owes get lots of goodies! even at the current economy condition!! xD

magic tree growing outside ;)

Insider trading!

always loved MR2s, I'd really want to get one but people say since it is mid-engined and rear wheel drive it tends to be VERY tail happy. What are your thoughts on this? Is it true?

nah no trading at all..just plain hard work :)

well..its true to a certain extent..work on ur suspension mods ie. extra strut bracings,sway bar upgrades etc and u'll find that it handles much better..but yeah MR2s are prone to snap oversteer so just have to know ur limits on ur car if u do get one.I've got a friend selling his '92 black hardtop turbo if u're keen on getting one.

Also started removing my Gen1/2 spoiler(side pieces)in preparation for the arrival of a black Gen3 bootlid :) gonna get some vinyl to cover up some flaws on the paint from removing the side pieces for the time being..hopefully save up for a respray on the panels and patch the holes up.

WOW. what a beast. SO unique. Top work :P

thanks Jules..still got a couple of things to finish off the exterior :)

boss..whats a pair of side inspection panels

the 2 black pieces on either side of the engine lid

The panels look great Adrian! Very, very subtle, but again ever so effective! So fresh n so clean!

Sponsor graphics look the biz too!

thanks for the kind words Jayme!:D

Gen 3 bootlid arrived this arvo..to my disappointment,couriers made a huge dent(corner folded) on the right hand corner where it seats above the tail lights..gonna ask if it can be pushed out..anyway..other than that,boot came up nice after a buff :)
