    • Clear corner lights, Toyota part no.'s 81521-03011 and 81511-03011 (11/10/97)
    • Removed the radio and the Magnum bass-tubes - wasn't ever being used anyway, and the weight went down...:-) Kept the speakers in the dash for that occasional radio use 
    • Tilton Brake proportioning valve - yihaa! Finally proper braking, with close to 50/50 front/rear ratio. Bought it from Demon Tweeks (10/07/98)
    • Changed to coolant from Comma, supposed to lower the temperature compared to a normal coolant, and that's got to be for the best...:-) (12/07/98)

    • Wired the driving lights properly in time for the bi-annual government control of the car, thanks to Inge for that! (20/06/99)

    My MR was made in Japan in December '86, and was delivered to the port of Drammen, Norway
    January 18, 1987. Its first owner purchased it March 24th. After that, two more had the pleasure
    of owning it, until I bought it December 23, 1994 (nice X-mas present for myself...:-D).
