Re: Frozen windscreen... On the inside...
Pingi moisture absorbing bags are great for removing damp in the air - Ive used one of these in the cars and it really help that winter condensation effect. They change colour when "full" then you just put them in the microwave for about 5 min and then theyre ready to go again. There are d...

Re: Whistling at speed (40mph) - new weatherstrips or will re-aligning windows fix?
You need new wing mirror mounts or you can bodge it with Velcro, the rubber perishes around the window glass and lets in air. Does it get a lot louder when you drive faster? Motorway driving was horrible, replaced both mounts and no more horrible rustling noise. Also see here - http://www.imoc.co.u...

You wouldn't buy GRP materials from another country as they are readily available here in the UK

Re: JHclassics dino conversion
I dont think these look very accurate at all. Wrong stance and the MR2 roofline is all wrong whereas the other types had an entirely replacement bodyshell - sort of makes it look a bit chubby :-( Seriously, either buy a 2nd hand early deon for about £17/18k or better still go for the other companies...

Here you go :-)

If youve got the right tools then go for it, otherwise take it somewhere like Lukes in Flamestead M1 J9 which is not too far from you.

Re: another bleeding brakes problem, no pedal pressure after changing calipers
Your rear pads have a little stub on them that needs to be engaged in the slots on the caliper otherwise it will feel like youve put thicker pads in - could that be the case? With regard to bleeding are you making sure you only slacken off the nipples just enough to let the fluid/air flow - if you d...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] When does a mr2 stop being a sports car and become a hypercar or something
I absolutely love the GT300's but TBH they are not "supercars" - they are racing cars. In my mind the best way to define a supercar is the sort of car you'd buy if money were no object. Sure you could make a lesser car perform the same but why bother when there is some really cool stuff ou...

Wildly different from a road going car.... :-) http://trd2000gt.forumotion.com/t123-gt300-pics-engine-and-internal-photos Not denying the success of MR2s - just think its ridiculous when people think they own a supercar just because they've fitted an air filter and big exhaust then tear round like a...

Jeff - I interpret those posts as more to pointing out that when the ferraris were limited to 300bhp there was no magical 'supercar handling characteristic' that would help it to win over a cheap modified production sports car like the MR2 :oldtongue: There was a bit more to it than that....

So are you saying that your modified rev 1 is a "supercar" then?
Not really sure what the point is your trying to make....?

theres also a little rubber ring over the other end of the slider bolt which can cause problems too so check that as well plus whether the bolt is rusty too
