ahh. home from the big smoke. the feroza went well down and back, i got it to sit on 100-110 with the a/c on.
but it just isnt the same as driving the feral on the hi-way or through the city.
i did have some stop light battles in the feroza though, was soo much fun beating all the little hatches that wanted to have a go..

Yup - the mirrors are the electric fold back ones.
The driver's side has a flat glass glued to it which will be removed once the car is registered.
The stock mags are pretty scratched up - the worst being the passenger side rear. I have started sanding the clearcoat off of it so that I can polish them up but its clogging the paper too fast.
Ill either get them blasted or replace them with some aftermarket wheels. I was thinking of getting a set from an MRS or some Work Emotion CR in 16 or 17"
Im really not too keen on the teardrops at all...

Im with you starfire, i think they look a little on the gay side. One day i plan on getting something bigger, maybe a 16.
By the way, nice car. Looks just like mine
Hey Feral, bought myself a 9 inch thermo today. i plan on putting it on the other side of my lid. Just gotta sort out a rear facing bonnet scoop first though. Nothing big, just enought to get the air out.

old mr2 you were so spotted at newcastle foreshore on thursday night... trying to blend in with the ricers. don't deny it.
Me? I stayed back after work and met up with some other toyota dudes that sometimes get on these forums. It's good to see such a huge scene, I cant believe the amount of good cars that show out, albeit amongst the crap ones an the whole truck scene. But everyones just enthusiusts to some extent, an as usual it's the people with the crappest rides that are the biggest dickheads. Any AW owners from Newcastle PM me if you wanna meet up there on thurs nites.

Just got back from checking out the AW11.
All seems good, except a few concerns i have:
I was told it was a fresh import from Japan, and i asked if there was any compliancing that needs to be done on a car imported under the 15 year rule, such as side intrusion bars. They were adamant that this was not needed, they will be providing rego so if what they say is right i don't care
Also, once going at speed, around 60-70km/h i noticed a slight squeek, sounded like a belt, every second. Salesman reckons its the exhaust.
If i could just get these two concerns cleared up, i'll go ahead with purchasing the car, so any advice would be appreciated!

Dont know about in syd, but in adelaide I have had to do everything listed above to my car in order to get it registered. I may have to do more - we'll see on the 4th.
As for the squeak? well thats anyone's guess.
An easy check for the belts is to see if you can twist it (with your fingers) more than 1/4 turn along its longest run. any more than that and its loose.

if they are rego'ing it you should be cool. check that the vin number that will go onto your paperwork actually matches the jap vin number. the jap number will be shorter then the aussie (17character ?) they generally put a couple of letters then 0000 filler infront of the shorter jap number to fill up the aussie size.
the aussie vin will be stamped into a plate then welded or riveted onto the chasis.
for NSW rego there shouldnt be too much you will need to change. possibly mirrors depending on what is in there currently, fuel fillet neck (unleaded only), you need a "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY" sticker and an appropriate tyre/wheel notice.
side intrusion bars are in some not in others so its a check for them job.
no child seat restraint points needed (2seater)

HAHAHAHAHA he could be right but it sounds like SC belt slip. Its fairly easy to adjust. Actually its a little bit fiddly.
If the car has rego then you have nothing to worry about just make sure all the numbers match up
Yeah that was me adam. I like to show off my REAL car to the ricers. Were you hanging with the royal drift crew? I finish work at 10pm tomorrow night will you guys be down there? Hopefully we will get a dusting of rain.
Nice car starfire! If you want some bigger rims dont go 17's they are too big and you will lose speed and drivability. Get some nice lightweight 16's. They fill the guards pretty nicely. post a link to a pic of the rims your talking about?
Just quietly, my blueslip was signed off and he didnt even look at the car. It pays to know someone.

Oh yeah those oil stains and shit in the pic are from my Calais. As far as I know the '2 hasnt dripped anything since ive owned it.
It was one of the more expensive examples of the car but its pretty damn tight. I had a hell of a time finding a decent hardtop.
The only thing I dont have is the leather interior but I can do without the added weight and maintenance.

i had the 'chairman of the AW11 club of england'
drop in for a visit last night. i met him last year when he was here visiting his sister from the UK, and he's back again for the x-mas visit. it was good to see him again and listen to what the UK guys and girls have been up to.
i am rounding up the boys here and we are going to take him on a cruise on sunday after i finish work.
so hopefully there will be some pics of our little club on the UK Mr2 web site early next year.

Stuart is a great 'older' bloke. he owns a red 4age and a green 4agze which he got the Kameleon body kit put onto.
he doesnt do a great deal of mechanical stuff, but knows a lot about the history etc of the AW11.
you should find info on both his rides on here,

i stole the nice new digital camera my sisters gave my mum and dad for x-mas so i can take some good pics tomorow arvo of our cruise (so far we might have 5 aw11's)
just been playing around with it and thought i might take a pic of the new steering wheel my sister got me ages ago, i'll put it on if i can get the damn boss kit off to turn it around a little (this wheel uses different holes to the other one).
old one..
new one..
it's not as good a quality as my old autotechinka one but looks neater with-out the worn out holed vinyl.. haha
hopefully tomorow night i'll be able to upload some awesome cruise pics. and maybe some vids seeing this camera does em.

Is that a 280 mm? looks pretty phat. Feral what are your thoughts on a steering wheel spacer to bring it out about 80mm? I have long legs and its a little squishy in there.

old_mr2, it would be much easier to make a spacer to go onto an existing boss kit, i couldnt see any dramas with spacing it towards you. (but that's my uneducated guess on whats allowed with that sort of thing).
our cruise today was top's, we all had a blast.
here's a group shot of us yobbo's of the bundy aw11 club. Stuart the aw11 club chairman of england in the middle. (had to do a link as pic is tooo wide).
