Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] rear view cam and tv install ... help
yellow rca cables should take the camera, not sure about the tv, is the tuner in the headunit or is it a stand alone jobby?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Wiring up amp genius needed!!!
just a quick note from the first reply, if you're installing an amp please put the fuse for the positive supply as close to the battery as possible not the amp, its there purely to stop the cable melting itself, any amp worth having will have its own protection fuse

Re: [Mk2] [NA] help with head unit
i know its not an mr2 but i had pioneer and kenwood headunits in my accord and they slid straight in, fitted a flip out monitor this week and had to bend the dash mounting brackets to fit it, think its something to do with the thickness of the steel cage needed to hold the extra weight

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] How much for a full respray in Matt black???
one question, if the cars all about the engine and handling why does it matter what it looks like? personally i love Q or stealth cars, nothing like seeing a faded old car going round the outside of a gt3 on a track :) althoug i must say a friend used to have a two tone baby blue and matt black mk1 ...

[Mk2] [NA] clutch question
i've just brought an mr2 and i think there maybe something wrong with the clutch, firstly the biting point is ridiculosely high, as soon as you rest your foot on the peddle it starts to lift the clutch off and secondly when changing gears at high revs or if i floor it at about 3500 in fifth the revs...
