Jimi, was your car really on TV? 5th Gear? How did you manage that? You must be special! These videos are fantastic, keep them coming!
Sure was :icon_biggrin:
One of the researchers posted on the OC (.co.uk) looking for a MK1 for the the show, I put mine forward among others and they chose my car. Took it down to Manchester for the filming, more pics here Clicky It's also been in a couple of magazines MR2Only and Classic and Sports Car

Black is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour
Jimi, that is wicked cool. Forever emblazoned into the history books and the memories of millions of people. AWESOME.
I didn't make a proper video today but I did take the car out to run up and get some beer. Had a little helper take a few shots for me.
It's all about the sounds they make....
Yes- I am still running the four cylinder rev counter and I turned up the sound in the video to exaggerate the sound of the back box.

A video walk around I made today, to send to a possible buyer.
It just went up, if it's not immediately viewable, it should be shortly.
That is one nice car sir.
:)
The car looks totally immaculate... But you need to adjust your handbrake ;-)
It grabs the rear calipers with power. I modified the cable stops because I was unaware at the time, that Paul Woods had given us the secret top tip of turning the caliper piston one turn (or a half turn- I can't remember) out before reinstalling the caliper. I could not get it to grab the rear rotors even with new cables, so I put a spacer in the cable stops. It works perfect. I found the tip after I had it in and working, so I can't be bothered to go back in there now.
The handbrake looks ok to me- what should it look like?
I was just winding you up, all the mr2s ive ever driven have seemed to have a high handbrake compared to other cars :-)
Wind up completed. :) I know there's other videos out there. There was a video from this year's JAE that a girl was driving a V6 two. Plus others I'm sure!
