My condolences. I've never really had a pet, unless you count that pet rock I had one time. Rocky was too high maintenance, so he had to go back to the wild.

Jesus. The **** dogs get themselves into. I wish I had someone to fork over money when I did stupid stuff to injure myself lol.
Personally, I think the wheels look like cheap aftermarket ones that all the inner city "ricer" boys put on their cars around here. Black and machined are too tacky in my book.. on any car. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles. Project car 1992 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE 170k Miles.

Suppose this thread deserves an update.
My tuner had a 6 hour come-to-jesus chat at SEMA with the guys at ECUTek regarding firmware mismatches and incompatibility with their software and ECUs - in particular mine. After some forced hands ECUTek agreed to bench my ECU, repair it, and load the proper firmware to match the ECU's version. Sad part - they are based in Europe. ![]() So my car is down at Drift Office without an ECU for the next few weeks. While it is just sitting around they are going to do a complete inspection of my turbo kit to make sure everything is all good there. I have heard that a Motec M1 will be showing up at the shop soon and might end up in my car to see if it runs fine with that installed rather than the stock ECU... If it does I don't know what I'll do. Really don't have $3500 kicking around to buy another Standalone EMS... So for now I am back to Daily Driving the MR2. I'll take some pictures of it this week of my winterizing process, as my MR2 thread deserves a bump. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

We'll that sucks completely. Pay for a turbo for it to be garaged because of morons. Sorry to hear this. I am in the midst of getting ride of mine and wait for a less troubled version some years down the road.

Almost a 5 month hiatus from this thread. Suppose I should do some updating.
Got the ECU restored to factory, but the dealer wouldn't perform the recall work because of the turbo kit ![]() After that was done I had no more CELs. I put ~4K miles on the car in bone stock form, and then she went back under the knife. Just got her back last night, so pictures and videos will follow. I did steal a set of OZ wheels from my brother as you can see in the picture below, so not AS bad as stock... and wider tires. ![]() Installed over the weekend: Turbo kit (again) (this guy) AVO Ceramic clutch (this guy) 3" catless turboback exhaust (this thing, minus the cat bolted to this deal here). I am waiting for the copy of the dyno chart, but it made 297whp and 235tq @ 8PSI (I think boost crept to 9). -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Shazam. Made a cold start video this morning when I took my dogs out. Turns out they're not the biggest fans of the noise.

Hmm... I'm awful at keeping this thread up to date...
So I tossed on some Rota Torques as a temporary wheel solution while mine are being shipped. Decided I'd try a set of GTF2 from 720Form. 18x9 +35 with 255/35 Nitto NT555. Slightly less aggressive than the Rotas. ![]() My new tires should be here on Monday, no idea when the wheels will be here. Not an issue for now - I'm just about to finish closing on a house here in the next week or so, and the house will take a lot of my time/attention/money. ![]() Anyways I woke up this morning to FedEx dropping off moar car parts. GrimmSpeed selected my FRS to be in their booth at the Big NW Subaru Meet on Aug 10th at Portland International Raceway, so they sent me a care pack full of stuff on the free. Strut brace Master Cylinder brace Pulley cover Hood struts Manual Boost Controller Battery tie down Oil cap So I've been installing stuff today. Yay. ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Still find it exciting I suppose? I know of a lot of people that have already sold theirs, then again I don't think they bothered with touching the drive-train.

It's exciting every day. I enjoy making it spit fireballs as I pass unsuspecting drivers. Puts a smile on my face every time.

Not yet. It's on my list of things to do, but they've pretty much all been on weekdays when I'm at work and can't get the time off.
One of these days my schedule and a track day will align, and much celebration will be had. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

ROTA>FORM, in terms of appearance.
Honestly, I cannot stand the 10-hole universal look. I had XXR 527 on my FRS (fitment test) and the 10-hole bothered me more than anything haha. They were my first set of wheels with 5x100 & 5x114.3. Otherwise, good looking car! This post has been edited by block: Aug 2, 2014 - 6:51 PM -------------------- ![]() |
