Re: Damaged front lip advice
I paid for it on the 1st December by paypal expecting that it would be delivered during my Christmas leave but unfortunately it took more than 5 weeks and so I was back at work by the time it arrived hence being unable to check it. Yeah I do think the packaging is a bit crap but lesson learned I gue...

Damaged front lip advice
Hi there, I ordered a front lip back in December. The lip wasn't delivered until January and the first time I seen it was early February. My father signed for it and just placed it on my bed until I was home. It's still wrapped, i haven't even bothered to remove the bubble wrap as I can see through ...

Re: Installing Power Steering into non PS MR2??
On the US oc a lot of the owners just drain their powersteering fluid and remove the pump. Using a bung on the bolt. A few have been running the rack dry for years apparently with no problems. You get the quickness of a PS rack with the feel of a non PS rack at the expense of burning a few extra cal...

Re: Advice needed after garage work
Well people can work out where I had the work done, I actually posted a trader feedback thread about the work being done and that I was really happy. Obviously that was before I noticed this. I'll give the guy a ring after christmas. I was about to have it recovered to GTSChris as that's where I bou...

Re: Advice needed after garage work
I'm not sure if I want to name the garage, everyone makes mistakes and I don't really want to damage someones livelyhood in these times for a mistake. I'll give them a call and see what they say. I'd say the nuts were never even put on though. I've only made 2 journeys since the work was done. The f...

Re: Advice needed after garage work
Right well I've had a look at this now and there's an easy explanation for the camber and the car feeling funny. Here's a video of the car jacked up with me rocking the wheel, it pulled out to correct camber as soon as it was jacked up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I9aOX_7_Pw The bottom bolt is c...

Re: Advice needed after garage work
I haven't checked the lower bolt yet as it's dark and snowy outside, I'll jack the car up tomorrow and torque the trailing arm, balljoint and what remains of the strut bolts. I have 2 camber bolts I bought a while back so it's the ideal time to fit those in the top positions either side. Scares me t...

Advice needed after garage work
Hi, Ok well a couple of months ago my car started making a clanging noise at low speeds and a sort of warble at high speeds it would come and go. After a bit of research on the net it was pinned down to a dodgy CV joint. I don't use my car much to be honest so a couple of weeks later I booked it in ...

MRTwos in wolverhampton
Top bloke at this garage, my car was making a crazy clanging noise and it started shaking the whole back end. Got my car sorted with a new driveshaft, sorted my tension rod bracket out and I swear he's also tightened my alternator belt as it hasn't sqeaked since :) He also stayed late so I could pic...

Do the BCs use shorter front droplinks? If so are they included in the kit?

Re: Running a MR2 in the winter
I run mine daily including some 200mile+ trips in heavy snow. Not had any scares at all it's better than putting the power down in snow than my old prelude that's for sure. I get the sticky doors but I Just pour some warm water around the frame. Sometimes my locks are frozen but I just heat my key u...

Does the 255 affect the speedo much,get any tyre rub on the arches?
Paul
The speedo under reads 1-2mph until you get to about 90mph that is when compared to a tomtom GPS.
It did rub until I had my rear arches rolled

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Loud repeating clunk noise
Do you know what is most likely to fail? Is it likely to be the cv joints or something else on the driveshafts?
I'm gonna get a recording tonight on my phone to help diagnosis.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Loud repeating clunk noise
I need some help guys as this is my daily drive. I was cruising at 70 a few days ago while on a 220mile trip and started to notice a faint clicking noise behind me. Now over the past 2 days it's got louder and louder and can be heard quite easily from outside the car. It's sort of like a loud tap or...
