Re: [Mk2] [NA] URGENT: not turning over [FIXED]

Sorted - phew. I suspected the immobiliser, partly because the light was on all the time, rather than flashing when armed, and partly as its not made by Toyota.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Koni adjustable kit?

We fitted the Koni kit to our Rev 2 UK, and the adjustments can take it from a little softer than standard to so solid, your teeth WILL fall out.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Should i swap my MR" Tubby for an elise?

One big difference you'd notice with an Elise is the 40-ish mpg

If you don't mind feeling like your climbing inside a washing machine each morning then they are great cars.

Re: My new alloys

They will go on, but when you turn in to a corner you will notice a small amount of movement as the tyre wall leans.

Re: My new alloys

225's will be a little large for 6.5's, ideally you should be looking at 195 or 205's on that size rim, but that won't suit the MR2

Are all 4 the same or do the rear have more offset, if not you'll need spacers to fill the arches.

Need to get the brakes overhauled (garages near Reading ?)

Hi,

The handbrake is getting worse and worse, almost stopped working now, and at times one of the rears seems to bind, that disc gets a lot hotter anyway.

So I'm guessing new handbrake cables, possibly calipers and pads.

Anyone know a reliable garage in Berkshire or is it an easy job for DIY ?

IMHO, adverts are better with more pics, under the bonnet, interior, etc.

Colour coding Rev 2 ?

Has anyone removed the side stripes for painting (how ?) or is it just as easy to paint them on the car ?

Also, wheres the cheapest place to get a Rev3 front bumper lip, as I want to paint that too.

Thanks
