Re: Scotty's on going project. End of the road for me, but the story continues!

hey scotty, could you tell me where you got the border bonnet and what the quality was like, car looks great, iv got the carbenfibre arches coming to me too but im a bit concerned about the radius of the back ones, they seem a bit flat on top, hopefully they will look better when you have the wheels...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Wheel Choices - Opinions Please!

The rota torque drifts have the cool cOncave look to the spokes the normal torques don't have the with and offset to get much of a concave look, 17 8 and 9 are perfect with a 35mm offset being just about right. 8 on the front is fine.

Re: ABFlug Style Arches Group Buy Thread

does the inside lip follow the wheel on top (more rounded)when a proper width wheel is fitted or is the original flare not very contoured to the wheel?

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Where to put the amp?

meybe try mounting it on the floor in the boot and make a false floor to go over it, then you would still have plenty of space for storage.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] coil overs

koni yellows seem to be loved by everyone who uses them, they are supposed to well paired with the eibach pro spring kits too, how available are the rebuildable strut housings? there seems to be an awful lot of coilover snobbery on the us boards but i was talking about people who have actually used ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Very strange issue with the car , last three weeks

i had a problem similar to this but more severe, i couldnt boost past 5 psi without it missing horribly, after months it turned out to be some sort of gasket on the fuel rail lifting under boost and spraying metered air and fuel into the engine bay, impossible to see unless the engine is boosting un...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] coil overs

just to add to this, i have been looking into the bc coilovers but the 5 and 8 kg/mm seemed very hard, i emailed them and they said they can supply 4 and 6 kg/mm springs which they say are popular for mr2s. they seem fairly well regarded on the us boards but the roads in america are straight and smo...
