First mod for the MR2

:eek: How did I miss this?!?!

Nice buy Adam! I like, a lot!

Dunno mate, you been living under a rock or something?!
I'll have to come up when I'm back from holiday :)

Be a man and ditch the front plate :cool:
Considered it, but it actually doesn't look great without a front plate. I may go for a smaller on it the future, but to be honest I'm not really that bothered and I think this one looks good enough as it is.


its a plate, cant beleive you changed the plate "cos it looked 1995".

whats the most modern up to date style of number plate then?

Why can't you believe it? Most newer cars have the blue GB panel on them now and the old plates looked worn (understandably for a 14 year old bit of plastic). These ones look much nicer. Also don't forget I've removed the surround too, it's not just new plates.

so newer plates have the blue gb badge etc. dont you think itll look out of place that an old car has got the wrong plates on?

god knows how mine ended up with the new plates, prolly been smashed up in the past
 
Next mods - Induction kit and Bluflame.

Seriously tasty sound.

All in good time my good man, I'm going to Rogue motorsport next week to have a look and listen to some of their cars and see what I want.
I've heard the blueflame and mongoose systems drone a little on the motorway, so I'm going to do my research first.

I just read your first cleaning thread, thought you were a person who sponges and blasts, would have been a shame on a car with such good paintwork.

Sponges and blasts?
I use the pressure washer from about 5 feet away then wash mit and two bucket method...I like my paint shiny thanks!
 
Another vote for ditching the plate, it's looks too big and ungainly..

I would say get a smaller (albeit illegal) plate, but I understand the law means ditching it is easier..

Good choice, Rogue certainly know their stuff!

I found my Blueflame and Decat to be reasonably subtle on the motorway to be fair. Far louder than stock, but then i'd expect it to be!

Magnex exhausts are very quiet, with not too much difference in 'drone' over stock.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found that Rogue were only 10 minutes down the road from me!

Was the blueflame decat comfortable on the motorway? The exhaust I had on my Golf was quite loud but once the music was on there was no problem. Would you say the increase in volume is a small price to pay for the enhanced sound?
 
mongoose are made by blueflame btw :) I have a miltek on my astra, and its very subtle. Goes insane when the turbo's on full chat :)

I found it comfortable yes, no complaints here. As you say, stereo up = no problem. I would 100% say that the increase in volume is a small price to pay for the enhanced sound, it's one of the best 4 pot sounding cars i've ever heard with that combination. Looks awesome with the angled tail pipes too.

Sounds nice and subtle in town driving, open the throttle and it roars.

Can't recommend it enough :)
