Firstly that thing is awesome.
Secondly, boy have rolling roads changed since I last went to one.

Its wheel horsepower that counts anyway, so its not a big deal. There is also no tyre wear!
I have finally had the car on track - Blyton Park Yesterday...
Had a great day testing out the car:)

Well Its been a while since i posted here - Over a year and most of that year the car has been in pieces & actually still is ...
A track day in August ended with a blown head gasket caused by detonation grr Possibly due to insufficient coolant flow, but more likely due to the mapping...

It wasnt bad Det, but wrecked a couple of pistons, so not a cheap rebuild. There were a few other modifications that I had on my list, so it was decided to do those first.
So the New Larger Fuel Tank is installed,

I have fabricated a new gear lever, as the MR2 one was not very good,

Attachment 2497
the Craig Davis pumps have been Binned & a nice Stewart components pump installed, along with fitting back the mechanical pump and fitting a remote thermostat at the front.

I have also for various reasons removed the Haltech ECU and am fitting an AEM Infinity 8 ECU which has much better logging than the Haltech, more inputs, has dual Lambda & knock control, as well as onboard traction control..
The engine has now been Rebuilt, with new pistons and once I am home from work next month the plan is to get it mapped.....

The liners have been o-ringed not to try and hold the det, but just to help the gasket seal.
Attachment 2499
I have also gone back to COP ignition, but Using VAG coils, as I cant fit the Alfa ones due to the charge cooler & re-located plenum..
Attachment 2500
So quite a lot has been happening - looking forward to getting it back on the road again :smile:
Very nice indeed :cool:
wrinx
Engine is running again on the new ECU now, all looking good for tuning in a couple of weeks time.
