Hello MR2 fans!

I am the happy owner of an 85 MR2, which has, in the past year been given a new 
life by dropping a Japanese 4A-GE power plant  to replace my existing one. (Head 
gasket blew, rendering the car basically DOA) 
The resulting transformation gives me about 160 SAE hp at 7100rpm, because the 
Japanese version of the engine has a higher compression, and more horsepower.
The swap was simple, existing transmission, ECU and subsequent hardware fit on 
without any difficulty.  The job was done at Toyotatown in London, and the engine 
was acquired through Japanese Engine Supply on Toronto.
The car has recently been painted (original colour) and the ground effects skirts 
on the front were manufactured by myself from fibreglass.
