2011 07 16: Replacing front suspension

My suspension is really tired so I decided to put it from MR2 turbo. Firstly, front. It took about 6-7 hours to replace it in a yard and with a couple of tools. I took it off together with a brake discs, because they are much better and also changed brake pads. Also tubby has adjustable caster arms, so now steering wheel is more responsive, but it became harder to turn (with no power steering). And here are some photos from work.

Toyota MR2 autocrossing onboard

A great weekend on June 26 and 3rd place overall.
Mods: Koni yellow + Weitec springs + BFG Profiler 205/40 R17 tyres. 
This was my first run. Unfortunately I left my camera turned on and battery died so I could't make a video of other runs.
