My new MR2 Turbo

Introduction

Right so time to start this from the top for my new tubby '2 :)

picked it up off a owners club member last weekend, needs bits sorting before it's ready for mot :)

plate wont live on the centre panel btw its just there as one of the bolts on the plate holder rounded off and not got around to it yet, and when i had the car with no plate on the back my neighbour phoned the police (long running history with her) which resulted in a stern talking to about changing the identity of the vehicle supposedly :rolleyes:

Anyway enough babbling, few issues atm

Issues before mot:
1) bulbs which need changing here and there
2) power steering (though this doesnt keep the light illuminated so it may be ok for a pass?)
3) new number plates needed (ordered)

General issues i want to sort:
1) Headlight kind of loose? -> but fine when parked at a standstill so should be ok with mot
2) new battery
3) investigate knocking from rear susp (only at slow speeds when gbox warmed up only moving forwards under load - even slight and also only when turning?)
4) boost pressure sensor... although tried my spare with no change :(
5) leading on from above get a working boost gauge either std or fit GReddy gauge

Parts i want to fit (no particular order)
1) Apexi induction from old tubby
2) 3" stainless downpipe from old tubby
3) Headunit from old tubby
4) Possibly swap the HKS exhaust for my nur spec from old tubby
5) GReddy gauges to A Pillar
6) XS Power IC
7) Blitz EBC
8) probably loads of random bits too like led bulbs instead of normal bulbs just about everywhere etc

Anyway pics as is atm :D most of you will have seen this but i want to have a decent thread history further down the line with it :D
