Changed the oil pickup pipe and did an engine flush, oil & filter change. Pain in the hole but really really worth it as was extremely bad.

She'll have a few dings on her side by the time she arrives. Those straps might even put a few windows out like that

Refresh of the front brakes on the MR-S.
Long overdue by the looks of it. If anyone wants the old units to refurbish let me know.
As ever I do one job and find a few more - front suspension needs attention next.

Nice try - it was rusty when it got here although you're right the sea breeze hasn't helped!It’s down beside the sea doing that Mate, il come down and move the starlets up to mine for “safekeeping” sure

Doing the same on our own mr2 in the coming weeks. Were the discs expensive? I don’t know whether to keep the originals which are dead on or invest in grooved for the track.

Quite cheap in fact - under £80 for discs and pads which seemed reasonable.
I've used M-tec for brakes before and so long as you avoid the Mintex pads they seem okay. The salt air down here eats even the genuine stuff so I'm expecting to get a year or three out of them and replace anyway. I usually prefer solid discs as the grooved can generate a bit of noise but at least they look the part.
Worth mentioning - I've spare front calipers and carriers in case you get stuck, imported a few sets in as I knew I'd be tackling mine. If yours aren't worth working with give me a shout. Was so handy just binning the rusty stuff!

You bought a girls car, I thought you’d be an M3 man.
I can’t justify the price difference between them! Not for all the length of time I’ll keep it
