Hi Boyzdad, Bit of a thread revieval. I have bought my 10uf caps to do next week on a weeks hols. My question is, do the caps have a polarity as one leg is longer than the other. I know on LED's this makes a difference and just wondered if these were the same or can they just be put in either way r...

Good modification :clap: does anyone know what resistors to use on the MK2 ? this is what they have standard http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n281/blz-8027/2011-06-11172015.jpg http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n281/blz-8027/2011-06-11171958.jpg Well, at the risk of getting shot (or dragged out ...

Those manuals are © Mr T It's technically illegal to copy/host/download them and Mr T's lawyer's have been known to force sites to remove them under threat of legal action. :( Having said that if you were to contact the right person they might be able to send you a copy of a disc with all the MR2 t...

Thanks Jimi, do you know anywhere I may be able to find it? I have a few little projects I want to play with

Got a pack of 10 Miniature Radial Electrolytic Capacitors 10uF 16V for grand total of £1.15 with free postage off fleabay. :thumleft: i think RS has a minimum order of £5 then a silly delivery charge. Sorry, I forgot about the RS carrige, however, if you have a trade account (or know someone who do...

Not at all, its a bit clunky. This should help http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/kb.php?mode=article&k=120 :thumleft: Any articles that will help another MR2'er should go there, feel free to post away. if there is no direct topic, just ick one that is roughly similar Submitted, in the engine area, t...

I can't see the photos :( Is this a simple R/C circuit? I'm wondering if the resisitor could be replaced with a potentiometer to give a variable time. Hello, the pics disappeared for a while, doh! They are back now ;) I am sure that a variable resistor could be used, however I did not have time, or...

I am running some Eagle NCT's (14'') on my MK1a wheels, the difference from the standard crud I had is like night and day. Really inspire confidence in the wet and dry

I think they may have discontinued them now, not too sure, but if you can get them, I cant recommed them highly enough.

I havn't been around for a while now....... looks like I have been missing a lot!

So just to clarify what is better? Alli....... lol

Thank you. :thumleft: PLease can you upload them to the knowledge base as its a good post http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/kb.php Hi cartledge, not too sure were it should go, there is no "electrical" sub section, do I just copy and re-post them? Or should I move them, if so, I am not to sure...

That's a good mod for the faster retraction time and I quite fancy doing it. I'm not clear on what the difference is between changing one cap or two. Is it that one cap does the retraction mod and two does the blink mod? Also I'm not seeing complete pictures and the one of "My take on Jimi's m...

After repairing my headlight controller, I decided to address a problem that had been bugging me about the way the controller works. When the light switch is turned off, from headlights to off, the lights seems to take ages before they go down, ok, not a major problem, but I like to mess about with ...

Hello I have been trying to get my car ready for the Tatton show. I needed to get an MOT done, all was well apart from the headlights..... When I turned them on this happened...... Right up, pause, left up, ok not end of the world, then I turned the lights off....... Left down, pause, right down, pa...

Hello Paul :) Jack did not draw this picture, he commissioned it from the guy on ebay for £15, it was a gift to me from Jack, he used his own money to get it ;) I agree you are entitled to your opinion. As I said I don't particularly think it is a great work of art, but there is something special ab...

As this was a present from my 15yr old son, Jack (the OP on the MK1 forum) I was very pleased that he made the effort to commission this for me personally of my own car. This has been hand drawn, and obviously, had a lot of time and effort spent on it. I don't claim it to be a work of art, but what ...

I run a mild steel Janspeed, on my MK1a, pops like a good-un if I get it "just right" Sounds great

I am running F1's, the asymmetric profile (14 inch) on my car, http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Goodyear/Eagle-F1-Asymmetric.htm they are amazing both in the wet and dry. I was running budget tyres on the car before, the F1's have totally transformed the car, I have not managed to get into trouble ...

My original MK1A manifold was cracked between cylinders 3-4, so this may be the problem. Just check the manifold were it joins the exhaust to be doubly sure though, my Janspeed is an absolute git as far as this goes. I have to re-do the joint every 1000-1500 miles. There is no flexi on the Janspeed ...

Turn the heater fan on in the car before starting, when cranking, does the fan slow right down?

If not then the problem is not a bad battery, more likely a bad starter motor

While you're down there, check the water pump and the alternator bearings. I thought my alternator was squealing, but it turns out my water pump is shot instead... I initially thought of the water pump, but as this is driven from the same belt as the alternator, and Lee reports the squeal is still ...
