Re: Yellow stuff pads with standard or grooved discs road/track???

I've tried a few different combinations of discs/pads on my mr2 at trackdays and found the yellow stuff pads with grooved discs not to be up to the job. I've only heard good things about carbotech except for squeeky when cold but have yet to try these as the latest setup i have has done the job. I f...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Fitting mr2 Roadster Seats

Didn't notice much difference. Only that it adjusts much higher than the original seats. I found i needed to wind it down to pretty much its lowest setting to get a comfortable driving position and i'm only about 5'9.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Fitting mr2 Roadster Seats

I did this a short while ago. I used the mk3 rails and drilled and cut off the little bolt through tags on both rails. I then welded the tags from the mk2 rails onto the mk3 rails and slotted the seats right in. Just had to measure the distances between the holes. I have heard of someone doin this b...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Exhaust silencing advice/ideas?

Thanks for that :thumleft:

Do you think this would cause any noticable loss in performance (more so than another silencer) due to being restrictive?

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Reverse lights not working

If i remember correctly, the switch is only a 2 pin so if you wanted to be 100% sure before you got a new switch, short out the 2 pins and switch on the ignition. Reverse lights should illuminate if the switch is the problem. Another test you can do to ensure that the switch is at fault and not some...

Re: SW20 Big Brake Adapter Kit Group Buy - No. 2

Hi all. Just thought i'd post a pic up of this brake kit installed on my mr2 with 17 inch wheels. I was very impressed with the quality of the machined parts and they fitted perfectly. I've since used the car on track and they held up perfectly. Never once did i loose faith in them braking late for ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Hole in my block

Thanks for the heads up jj. Didn't think about that. And i've just stuck a bottle of fresh oil in her. Typical. Considering goin the whole hog on the engine over the winter pistons rods etc. Does the engine come out the top with the gearbox removed? Or is it easier to pull it all out the back of the...

If it helps, I have a good kyb shock insert in my garage. And by good i mean it's not leaking and still takes considerable force to compress.

I've used these guys to rebuild some rev 3 calipers. Parts were spot on and i've done some pretty heavy track work with my motor since and they've been fine. Been on about 8 months now.

WOW that was a fast reply! Thanks! :thumleft:

Where would be the best place to get one from? Might aswell do the oil pump and timing belt while i'm at it. Is it best to stick to Toyota for these bits to ensure top quality?
