    Probably not many of these left, brand new sealed TRD bushing set is here for the car, Marc’s going to get some measurements and durometer readings to hopefully start offering a full rubber replacement set with the trd bushing hardness

    losing the variable runners hurts the low end a decent bit.. but not too bad honestly

    bought another parts car for the 2 mr2s... this one will likely be kept around since structurally its straight.. it will likely be a test mule for turbo 1/2ar stuff. but its a running 3sgte factory turbo car
    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    this fucker is ROUGH. but the interior is pristine. hell its dash has ZERO lift, unheard of. got it running. engine runs REALLY good, pulls decently hard in 2nd gear. feels like its making the power it did originally.

    i paid 1500 for a 1991 factory turbo with a complete interior... the dash alone with no lift was worth buying it for 1500.. did i mention the literal 8ft truck bed full of parts he threw in too??

    interior stuff is going in the white car and the black car. the hood is super straight so i think i'll put it on the white car since that ones got some twist in it. the engine lid is a turbo lid. it'll go on the black car.... this car will be cannibalized. but hey.. i got the original window sticker and the a/c works.

    I did also crack a flex pipe.. YAY exhaust leaks now [​IMG]

    audio system is all functioning again.. managed to get one of the old radios from a partout i had in the car and working.. nice having music again.


    also officially at 1000 miles on the swap.. no major issues. just one coolant leak at the under body pipe where a weld has started seeping.. got a new line with the 91 parts car deal.. so that'll be fixed next month after i get the a/c stuff in
