Okay, so today after work I ran my '86 on our chassis dyno, exactly as I got it- killer power. 75 horse. As of current, it has 2 exhaust leaks, the previous owner hollowed out the muffler, leakdown is unknown, and seems to have a vacuum leak (high idle, stable)

Worklist:
new RF fender
paint
muffler
speedo cable
e-brake cable

How'd I ever get into this?! -

I've always wanted an MR2, and I share a shop with two other MR2 enthusiasts. I started looking around the area for a project car to tackle, and a project car is what I found!

I bought this car as a total basket case. It'd been sitting behind a house for a couple years, and one day I finally talked to the owner about it. After some careful negotiation, I took it home for $700 w/wheels. The 5S had spun a bearing, and I pondered just plopping...
