Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Will a 16x9" rear wheel @ ET +35 rub on a 40mm lowered car?

Are Eibach pros only 25mm? I thought they were 40!

I'm now more concerned about the stretch on the tyres, 225 on a 9J rim is too much for my liking.

[Mk2] [Generic] Will a 16x9" rear wheel @ ET +35 rub on a 40mm lowered car?

I'm looking at getting some new wheels for the car and I've found some lovely 16" wheels that are 16 x 7 (fronts) and 16 x 9 (rear) with 205-45-16 and 225-45-16 tyres. My car is a 95 UK rev3 and it's on black billies with Eibach pro springs. I've used the wheel calculator and it's saying that t...

Re: Advice on if I need to space these wheels please

thought as much - that'll teach me to buy wheels without checking the offsets.

Ah well I guess I'll keep rolling on the stock 15's then...even though finding tyres for them is near impossible!

Re: Worried about my MR2 just sat on the drive! Will it be ok?? :( UPDATED!!

It may just be the handbrake cable that's sticking Darren. Mine did that after the first bout of snow when I'd parked it up overnight at a mates house and once I'd got it home (with smoke pouring off the disc!) it was fine. However my front calipers then started to stick and that was a matter of rep...

Advice on if I need to space these wheels please

I bought some wheels for the MR2 which are 17" 7.5J and 45 offset (front and rear). I want to fit 215/40/17 front tyres and 235/40/17 rear however when calculating the difference over the standard wheels it appears that: Your proposed front wheel will be 16 mm tucked in from flush (flush offset...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Modifying the side lights - has this been done before?

That first photo makes it look pretty bright - I presume thats an LED?
I'm definitely feeling my first suggestion still, the whole of the front illuminated with the side reflector working as the indicator.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Modifying the side lights - has this been done before?

That would be great - would a single orange LED be bright enough for the indicators in the clear side lens?

Don't suppose you have any photos of the back of your cluster do you?

How easy was it to convert the indicators to the outside and have the sidelights illuminate the whole front section?

[Mk2] [Generic] Modifying the side lights - has this been done before?

One thing that bugs me about the MR2 is how the pop up headlights ruin the lines of the car once they're up. I like to drive around with my side lights on until it becomes totally neccesary to use the full headlights. However the side lights aren't that bright and obviously only occupy a tiny portio...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] which N/A exhaust

I have a full decat Mongoose on my NA and I love it. I wanted bigger tips than the standard trumpets and a slightly more fruity tone without being obnoxious and too loud. I wanted something that wouldn't draw attention from passers by if I was just pootling around town (I didn't want to sound like a...

[Mk2] [NA] Sebring exhaust on a NA - Need help, advice and opinions please.

I'm looking at purchasing a Sebring exhaust (decat) for my N/A Rev3. I'd like an exhaust that looks better than the standard tips, sounds better but most importantly isn't horribly loud or droney on motorway journeys. This is going on my daily driver and I need to be able to hear my music and talk t...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Completely renewing my cars audio system - help please!

Sorry marc I wasn't clear with what I meant - I'll be running two subs, one in each cubby hole. For the size of the cabin and their 250watt output, that will be more than enough for my needs :)

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Completely renewing my cars audio system - help please!

Hi Marc, I've done some research since my last post and I've decided to go for two Elemental Design 6.5" subs in the cubby holes behind the seats. They have a 9l capacity when you take out the sealed box already in them and these little subs only require 7.1l to run optimally, so I'm going to m...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Completely renewing my cars audio system - help please!

I need to have a look at how the subs connect up to the headunit, because the wiring was such a mess (due to the last owner having a crappy Sony headunit fitted and the wires had all been chopped off their ISO blocks). I've just done some research and it seems that the little boxes behind the seats ...

I'm looking to replace the standard speakers in my MR2 with some newer stuff in the near future and I'd like to be able to discuss my options with more knowledgable people than the chavs I know who just want maximum volume and bass.

I'm considering a mongoose exhaust for my car however when I heard Rogue's race cars running the mongoose system with de-cat I was put off by how loud they were. It will be a daily driver and so I can't have it booming away on the motorway and becoming intrusive in to the cabin (the cone filter I ha...
