Re: Parts compatibility between models

rev1's look to have higher ride height to me

rear tie rods and subframe are different, whether this affects how the struts attach i don't know.....but rev1 have smaller brakes and thus i assume different hubs

i'd play safe and stick with rev2-5 if it were me

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] JDM Side Repeater removal

How do I remove the side repeaters?? Do I use a screwdriver to pry it off? Or are there hidden screws or nuts behind the wheel liner? is it not attached to the trim from inside....so have to remove the trim first (think there's a screw under front indicator reflector, and one under wheel arch. ...p...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Best thing for Oxidised paintwork

Don't go straight in with an aggressive cutting compound

Try Clay bar, then meguiars no.7 first

can be done by hand

made a big difference to my red mr2 - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v50/a ... 4579ef.jpg
