I have had some more ideas rattling around about what i want for my car

  • Anti-Lag system
  • Hybrid Turbo with RB shaft
  • Up-rated Cams
  • Dry sump
  • electric water pump
  • external oil cooler
  • up-rated fuel lines and pump

Nitrous Anti-Lag

For a while now, I have been thinking about making my own NOS system to reduce lag time on my turbo. Most of my friends have been thinking that this is a weird idea and that I should use a more conventional version. I recently stumbled on this advert for the very kit that I wish to make myself.

Basically it activates the Nitrous upon full throttle and shuts down as soon as the turbo reaches pressure. And seeing as it will never exert more stress on the engine than the turbo ever does, I see no problems with killing the engine.

Long time

Its been a long time since i have posted on here, but that's mostly because its been a long time since i have done anything with my car. Well tomorrow i am taking it to a DWYB (Drift What You Brung) at Santa Pod tomorrow... i know that MR2s are not the first thing people think of when thinking about drifting, and potentially not the last either, the mid engined layout does not lend its self to a good drift car. However, i don't really want to become a drift racing star, but i would like to know how to handle a slide if i get into one. I really want to do the Toyota Sprint Series, and its all tight and twisty, so if i start sliding id like to know how to keep control. Also if i went on a track day id feel bad about trying to find my limits and spinning out in front of people... but on a drift day, its almost expected.
