Etc.
I purchased this car almost 8 years ago with just under 140k miles. The previous owner had an SAFC installed and subsequently the engine needed a rebuild after a year of daily driving and a road trip to Texas. I ended up deciding to do a full build and had a local shop do most of the work. Dave Jones assembled and installed the engine and Saridea did the fabrication and other build work. The car was originally tuned by at revolutions in the springs.
The car was under the knife for almost 2 years waiting for parts or assembly or tuning. I then drove it as a daily driver for about a year until my clutch pedal went dead. I limped the car to my friend's house in lakewood so we could look at it. While the car was down I decided to swap out the t3/t4 setup for a full GT35R setup (the dyno plot is with the old t3/t4 so with the new turbo it should be at least the same hp but with better spool). This is currently 99% done (just needs a drain line for the turbo) but the car is not currently driveable. I also still need to fix the clutch. I'm an active rocky mountain mr2 owner's club member (rmmoc.com) as well as national mr2 owner's club member (mr2.com) and if you're at all interested in the car I highly encourage you to join the forums.
Other things
- Engine temp sensor light comes on because the stock ECU is no longer in use
- To pass emissions you will need a test pipe(i don't have) and emissions tune/cam configuration (i can provide)
- With the rear center panel you need to open the trunk from the release in the cockpit
- The driver's seat has the normal bolster wear
- Clutch chatters like any other 6 puck
- The A/C has been converted to freeze12 but needs a recharge
- The windshield has 2 large pits in it
- I have the antenna motor disconnected. Everything works when plugged in though.
- Car has a modest 12psi tune for the winter
- Power steering light is on because i have the relay disconnected. Something was leaking fluid - i tried stop leak but it didn't work so i just drive without power steering
- ABS light is on on the dash - the rear driver's sensor is potentially bad
