Nice one Derek! Exhausts have always been a pain for me, we had an MX-5 that I had to drill out too, dopey design!

Spectacularly failed to get to the bottom of my mysterious power steering light, but on a positive note, bought 6 tyres. You can never have too much rubber eh? ;)

The 2 has been sat in the garage for 3 weeks unused due to the bad weather (never take it out in the rain). However, due to unforeseen circumstances I had to use it for an emergency yesterday as my work car died. I was dreading driving a rev 2 turbo in the wet in the pitch dark but i was pleasantly surprised how well it handled and even got brave and put my foot down for a bit too. lol

Never have too many rubbers ;) :clapping:

I had a mysterious one where my steering kept dying, did the relay/ignition trick and it never happened again *touches wood*

Stripped out a ton of redundant stereo wiring and put some proper Toyota screws where someone had used a random selection.

Absolutely nothing. It's SORN, tucked up in the garage for the winter.
