I don't think I've ever posted the link to this video from 2 years back, just watched it again for inspiration

video is of my first time ever driviung on a track.

1985 Toyota MR2 AW11 running the Late model engine 260hp+
edited out first 2 laps which were a bit boring
started to get damp / drizzling after few laps and i came back in then 2nd run manifold gasket blew out.




have since driven / broken / competed a few club events (lol at grasskahna in this )
all without video.
cars now got semi slicks (was on nankangs at the time) and planning on returning to pukekohe soon

I presume you mean an 85 Mr2

You put a 3SGTE in an AW11?!
You mad bastard! lol
They were lethal enough in the SW20s which had the suspension and weight balance to handle it!

Theres a AW11 here in chch running a 4AGTZE 20V setup putting out 410hp ATW, that would be a beast! Considering my 4AGZE 16 Valve is bad enough how it is

Loose the Z when you turbo the GTZ engine , also chuck a bigger crank pulley on yours and then see how much your smile incrases

Maddest thing I've seen is a worked 2jz in a kp60 startlet , also seen a build where a guy had a 1UZ, and was twin-turboing it (kp60 as well)

That mr2 looks as though it could haul some serious arse Gav

Awesome Huge! What engine were you running? a SW 2.0L Turbo?

I try and get out on the track as much as possible, last time was at Levels and had massive fun. But got some work to do on the front end before I head out again. Some princess 4pots have been purchased

My old girl in action taking the hairpin at Levels. Was talking to some random guy at the track and made a comment I should give drifting a go in the old girl, as a joke. He told me "you can't drift one of those old shitters" so went out to prove him wrong Wasn't easy though, needs more power

Na, the MR2 is only my daily car, no need to spend more money then the fuel that goes in it lol.

Nice drift Rift, I think it needs a few more cylinders tho lol

An MG drifter now that would be class
Nice pic btw

Wicked stuff gav, nice drifting on about 3:35ish haha, looks like you had a ball

Wish my adub was that fast

5:36 Nice throttle control Ggav

Out of curiosity, what did you mount the camera on?

There is a little ledge below the window that would be perfect

Some inspiration, if you decide you want more power

Hey Ggav. I see you were doing some grass gymkhana stuff over at Glen Road. Are you part of the Auckland car Club as well?
I've done crap loads of gymkhanas there over the years.

Camera is mounted on a frame bolted to the firewall - where the storage compartment normaly is (but i dont need that )

Not ACC but Hibiscus Coast Motorsport Club.

Seen that... trust the bloody americans

I'd prefer a 7AGZE with sc14 and BT head $$$

There was a youtube video of one with a 3.5 Alloy Rover V8 in it as well

great stuff ggav

Not really was a friends camera i borrowed for the day - have a look at the other videos in my profile - nothing spectacular

Thread revival
finally got around to going back to the track.
Did a 1:12 back in 07 so wanted to better that by going under 1:10.
Started off the day on low boost to gauge cooling etc, which turned out to not be great.
Managed to get a few fast laps in. and then wind up the boost at end of day for that sub 1:10 watch the vid and see how that turns out

Nice one man
Time for some big expenditure in the hose-clamp department?

Good stuff Gav
