Shopping, Part 1

Ok, so i have a bit of a shopping list. I have been reading MR2 Only magazine and getting tips from the Tune 2 articles... so far so good, i bought a Manual Boost Controller (not yet fitted), but my friends are all buying nice new powerful cars so i have decided that i want this car to be MENTAL so today i ordered a HKS EVC VI Electronic Boost Controller from ebay... it seems a bit cheap, but it says that its official... worth a punt at almost half the RRP.

Next on the list is:

  • Berk Intercooler
  • full body kit
  • De-cat down pipe (if i dont already have one)
  • Braided brake hoses
  • hydraulic engine strut

Once i have done those things, i will be running pretty close to the limits of the stock ECU, so i will need to get a new one or a piggyback... i think i might go down the route of a HKS F-Con... lets see.

One thing i also need to do is fix my exhaust, it has a hole in it and also has no sound deadening, so i need to get some more insulation and get a friend of mine to weld it all back up. That reminds me, i need to go to Demon Tweeks now.
