I'm in for the LONG HAUL... :<)

[PaulinhoT]

All sounds positive, looking forward to your report 😄

[tooSavvy]

Well.... Nice n Brite!!   😵

I haven't done the treeless Wooler route 'testing' quite yet*

*nor likely 😕

Better than what came out [of the front, in darkness]...

Just been rummaging through junk boxes on Amazon.... Looking for bits for the 4A-F.

Scored lucky with a set of moulded Bosch 7mm leads @£10 😉

Blueprint Rotor arm and Intermotor Cap.

Although Toyota have a good rep on quality, and the car has only done 90k, I think all new parts + carb tune will be a good move

Oh that's a good find, well done 😄

Even better.. !!

The leads have turned up [in a disconcertingly humongous box] only to fall out with a Dizz cap included...

I will return the loose cap I ordered for full refund.

WTG Amazon 😀

I have a fairly broad selection of combi spanners...

Mostly noname and rough forge stamped 🙁

In TK Max, of all places, I spied some svelt, highly polished spanners. Not [sadly] in their very large 'clearance' tub but reasonably priced.

Whilst in the mood for spending money....

... I sourced 2M of Red silicone vac hose [4mm i/d] so that all vac leak worries will be cleared up before I start tuning. £3 Amazon 😉

Sounds like you've gotten some great deals 😄

Woot Woot....

Red hose plopped thru letterbox just now

We Are ON 🎱

Sounds good, looking forward to the update.

Bit of an update on the Cambox gasket (with a good splodge of BlooHylomar!) + 4 new plugtube 'polo mints'.

No oil leakage = oil on top notch & clean as Mazola

Good news on the cam cover gasket, not so good news on the rear bumper 😞

[tooSavvy]

I'm going for a ..... Bit'o Bling!

Stainless, no less... Replacing the 2 acorn nut (plus a random rusty nut) on the Cambox Cover.

I need cheering up

That's the spirit 😄

Just popped for a wiper/turn cluster, on eBay, to lash up a fix to the 'Right Turn Signal' cluster contacts... Attempting to indicate Right has the cowling emit a sound not unlike stick-welding!!

When you put the indicator/lights arm forward [full beam] the winker flashes great = No Wear on the pips. I need to strip down the switch and replace (from the spare) a fresh/little used pip contact.

Later models have a 'modular' design, with the swich assembly is simply a plug-in c/w arm.

Mine (and similar age MR2) have a complete alloy do-nut going around the wheel... So its a strip n scratch about fix....

I forgive it after 27yr 😬

Well well well....

Nothing new in the World....

We have [to quote Blackadder] "A Plan"....

Looks interesting 😄

I'm not sure I have a 19mm socket in my box... So bought one for £2 off Amazon. Should arrive around the same time as the Stalk assy.

Not at home atm so can't look....

2sav

[tooSavvy]

My MR2 switch assy arrived today.... And my 19MM socket.... And my Wingnuts 😁

I'm clearing a space to strip it down (carefully) to see what is what with the 'winker' contacts... What these s/hand ones look like and how, hopefully, I might fix/swap 'in-situ' my faulty ones.

Like a nice mystery, me.... Bring It On!

Winkers Sorted **Winnah** 🎱

..... the bit of tinplated brass that slides across the pips was 'worn bright' = should have a matte tinning finish.

The piece from eBay, my MR2 switch slider is mint... So just swapped over and I 'lightly scuffed' the surface of the pips with the edge of my jewellers screwdriver. Re-smeared everything with the excess/clean grease from under the cover and clipped everything back in place.

.... sharpie pen mark to keep wheel back in correct spot!

The nut was finger tight - likely years of folks heaving out.. Fitters arm crank retighten! NaaPraablem 😉
