The problem with shops today is they demand a ton of work in order to pay for big shop bills and multiple employees. We are a small operation that work with individuals mostly on a one-on-one basis - meaning your car is our focus until its returned to you. Having owners who understand the customer walking in the door is what makes us hard to pass on, especially when we are enthusiasts just like you. If you are interested in having work done, please contact us.

The update I was hoping to never makeā€¦ā¬‡ļø

After finally getting it completely back together and starting the initial tuning with , I ended up doing a compression and leak down test after a few issues started popping up - only to discover cylinder 3 was down compression, and the leak down pointed to air escaping past the rings and out the valve cover. Unfortunately, this is the case most turbo MR2 owners come by who run into engine issues.

I’m not going to lie, this was a tough pill to swallow. I’ve been rebuilding this car for the past 3 years, and I’ve had to pretty much replace anything my eyes have laid on. Some by choice, others because of necessity. To make things worse, I’ve taken one trip with this thing, and that was from where I picked it up, directly into the shop where it has lived and has not moved from. A 20 minute drive.

This issue was pre-existing, but the fault lies with me not checking this before pulling it apart, and making assumptions everything was ok because of the presumed car history.

If you are around cars enough you run into things like this and well, it sucks. I just hope when I get the new motor in this thing will run like I pictured it, and it all ends up being worth it. That, and the love I’ve put into it can be appreciated when I finally am able to bring it to shows this coming year.
