Project Lucifer (MR2 TURBO)

Just lower intake temps. Although the main reason I did it was for summer track days.

Having an intercooler at the front would cause mega lag with all the piping.

the lag isnt mad lag if you were to do the front mount but its still lag, Tim @ Tb did the math i think once,

its running IC pipes under the entire length of the car that would be more of an issue i think.

i run a Greddy Sidemount which works awesome also

Small change to allow more air flow to the charge cooler rad.

Looks much better IMO!

Oooft, I do like Is it legal??

And Ad, you're cars so awesome It's made me start a MR2 Turbo fund... Should have one by 2020 Can't wait!!

Yeh even though its being done purley to aid the C/C setup im loving the new look lol. Should have done it long before the C/C went on.

At least 2020 is closer than 2021....will the passion waggon last that long?

Erm no its not legal lol. But since it fits the jap style plate holder it dont look that bad, sort of

Very nice, where did you get that made up? Thinking of a smaller one for the 5 so I keep it kinda legal but don't get pissed off with a massive gash plate lol

Get an import plate... They ate small

Car is coming on well Ad

Ordered them from www.myshowplates.com

so I know what I'm buying now...you arse bandit! lol

New stickers

Old




New look




Llandow in rear window





Headlight Opie oils (Chris your car made me try this lol)










This was fitted months ago but kept forgetting to take a pic lol





Also fitted a new steering wheel but l forgot to get a pic once again lol

I added 6 more stickers to the passion wagon and I bet I still don't have as much as you lol

U added the samco one yet??

Damm your getting closer ive only added 3. Time for a re-count l think lol

It was SFS hoses sticker you gave me sam not samco lol. But the car does also have SFS hoses on the C/C rad so it could go on. I couldnt find a spot for it but if you catch up it will be on the front bumper infront of the sfs hose

Psht, needs a matching No Scissors one tbh

Looking good dude, liking the red 'uns on the Carbon, looks hot!

Everyone loves stickaaaaaa updates

Yeh lm loving the red decals tbh. Always felt the white Llandow one stood out too much. Wasnt sure how it was going to look when l ordered them but im clad l risked it. Just needs donington to complete it now


Anyway the 17 year old girl had eye surgery last night.




Reason, a cataract had dropped off to the engine mounts vibrations lol. So both were removed.






All clear now with 20/20 vision

don't you need them??

I see you don't have the overspray any more too lol

Yeh l replaced the plastic covers while l was doing that lol

I shouldnt need them with the HIDs they have some built in if you like. Although they did seem bright. Not sure if it was more than normal but l aimed the lights down after lol.

Looks good! I want square headlights, the circle ones in mine are a bit ghey

1/4 Mile times from Japshow at Santa Pod today.


Run 1 - Launch felt great! Slight wheel spin as wanted, then it gripped and shot off.

13.0724 @ 109.91mph


Run 2 - Crap launch spun the tyres, rear was bouncing/bang bang as the tyres skipped.

13.1696 @ 108.82mph


Run 3 - Lots of wheel spin through 1st. Although it was smooth wheel spin until run 2.

13.3556 @ 108.75mph


Run 4 - Slight bog on launch as l came off the clutch but no loss in traction. Didnt feel as good as run 1 though. But the time speaks for itself. Im well happy with this lol

12.9414 @ 111.13mph




99.42mph in 10.8910 seconds

Love this car lol


Stu, imagine what the city will do!!

Wow great last run dude! Was japshow good then??

Awesome time tbf! Was loving the front plate today aswell dude, completely changes the front end!

It was a good show but lacks the on track action you get at the circuits imo. I find drag racing fun to do but not to watch lol. Plenty of nice cars though

Cheers Chris I'm really happy with how the cars looking now. Although the calipers and wheels need re-painting.

Think ill get all 8 wheels refurbished Matt black during road salt season when the cars off the road. Along with a new set of track tyres.

Road salt season is going to be really sad times

Awesome times dude!

Decided to sort out the crap speakers! They had being killed.

My head unit had also broken so fitted the kenwood unit that came with the car. Although its mostly in japanese.
And whatever 60-16K is can be adjusted so takes a while to decide what you like best lol




Doorcard off and speaker out.




Same again the other side. Showing old speaker.




Soldering action.




New Kenwood unit.




Did away with the rear 10cm speakers below the quater windows to use the wiring for a pair of standard subs out my old n/a mr2.

Just had to cut the carpet and run the wiring to the subs. Then solder the wires up and it was sorted!










Then needed to play with this.



Turned down the amp output thingy so it was setup to power subs and not speakers. After a few adjustments they sound fantastic! More bass than l got out the standard toyota amp. Fronts sounds great as well.

Very happy

Bring on the DIRTY BASSLINES! We all need to have a mini MR2 rave yoh!

Dirty bassline will be sounding good now

brap.

Nicely done! Nicely timed too, could do with the old headunit back to stick in the 5 when it sells lol

It's no wonder your old front speakers sounded blown with that kind of mounting though!

Niceee

Cars looking great, and clearly goes some too. Didn't know they came with subs as standard though? Pimp

Only standard if you have the option extra active sound system. This one didnt but my old n/a did. Removed the subs before it was taken.

Had another play with the radio today. Has many options which is made harder when its mostly in jap. But now got it on "stadium" setting and sounds its even better! Kind of adds an eco sounds awesome lol.

Left me with a problem though. I planned on buying a single din radio and have oil temp, pressure & volts mounted above the radio in a din gauge holder. Im now 100% keeping this radio so not sure where the guages are going now. Dont really want an a pillar pod. Maybe the air vents...

Would you not go for some free standing dash mounts?

Fairplay mate havent seen Lucyfer for ages and its has to be said shes looking sweet makes me want to put the pug on p/h right now and get an MR2 Good work mate

Looking good ad (or should I say sounding good?)!

Can you not get a gauge pod that mounts to your dash, then smooth it in and get the dash flocked!

I could go down the top dash mount route but I'd rather have the a pillar pods over the dash mount.

Think ill leave the air vents idea as well simply because in the winter with the roof off the heater vents are useful lol.

So looks like it will be a pillar mount with oil temp & pressure gauges.

Pillar mounts are cool... face it

Hole saw?

Tbh Ad, just get a decent single din, could get one that easily equals or ups the SQ on that Pioneer I reckon!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i want an MR2 again

Im sure you could l just like the room setting on this one. Really does make it seem like your changing venues lol.

Stu im so clad you moved - New garden is sooo good for piccys lol



Shame it didnt get a clear shot of the "Motorsport is dangerous" sign from mallory.

Ad, that's a fudging cracking pic, love it! Specially with the mx poking it's face in

Shame the city is covered really!

That looks stunning Adam! Be good to catch up at some stage. Especially as I've not been out in the MR2.

You need to come donington Dave. Don't think I've mentioned it before lol

Had some porn turn up today

Its sooo nicely made lol i couldnt stop looking at it!






Old Rouge motorsport DP crack during the combe weekend so thats why l ordered the Berk Technology above. Only DP currently available for the MR2 with a flexi to solve the cracking problem. Hence why l paid £226 for it

But l shouldnt have the same problem again

mmmmm

Tim needs to get making these again, his were even sexier!

Car's coming along well dude

That's sooooo shiny

I dropped Tim a pm as well as e-mailing fensport. Obviously you know the score with tims pipes but I was very surprised fensport had the berk. I thought they were currently unavailable.
