I Installed the Green TRD sound tube on the weekend. Thanks to the great DIY on these forums. *click here*


It is a bit louder in the cabin which is quite nice, but the downside of this is i want to be on the wrong side of 4000 RPM constantly now. Which might prove hazardous to my license.

The Video is from a friends car, he has a GT.
I sold both the MR2s, the 86 is more fun anyway.

Just ordered a beatrush master cylinder stopper, so that should be fun.

As per usual, the car has been Opti-coated by Frank @ brightshine.

I think it must have rubbed off the windscreen, because it doesnt bead like wax off the windscreen, so ill apply some good wax (Prima Epic for those playing at home)
and that should solve that problem.

other issue, i have noticed that under hard cornering changing gear can be hard because the gearbox moves. so i will order the whiteline bush to put an end to that. i have never had that before since the MR2s have cable actuated gearboxes.

How much was your TRD knob? Is it any heavier? What are your next additions going to be?

Cost: too much. Weight: Lighter than standard. Looks nice though.
Probably buy suspension next.
