Spent the morning and a small part of the arvo figuring out the optimal tension to adjust my chain to. Well loose sums it up, but now I don't need to worry about disintegrating bearings due to overtight-ness.

Wee blat over the track was goo fun too

Also polished up a plastic headlight for use with my HID kit, came up a lot clearer, so if you got older plastic lamps, might be worth a go.

I had beer in the sun, a dog walked over, so I named him Boris.
The flatmates and I cleaned the garage. It's actually quite big!
You won't believe it Bogan, but, my tools are sort of where they are meant to be

and there is so much room. I'll have to take a pic, so proud. Plus, there's room to work on the MR2 also.

The Kawasaki decided the driveway was too clean, thankfully I only went inside to make a cup of tea and then came out to find a liter of Motul 5100 spreading over the driveway towards my PilotPowers....

A grouse day though.

It's the flat mates, '87 AW11. Seems to be Euro spec, but, with the TVIS intake/big port head.

So it's N/A I take it.. I had a SW20 Turbo back in the day, interesting car to drive, had to have your wits about you...

It certainly is N/A, goes well for what it is and has f-all rust for an AW11, it's completely stripped currently.
He had a Gen-1 SW20 GT a year or two ago, you're right too, interesting to drive. Would happily have the bum out over the saddle

Went okay too. He knows how to pedal an MR2
