Re: Frozen Handbrake Cables - Be Prepared!

I've just been caught out by this and on my day off too! Should have replaced all the cables and not just one side :oops:

engine tuning

Hi all, I have a set of cams for my mk1. They're with Peter @sbITs at the moment so he can have a play before fitting them next week. I hvaen't got the spec sheet to hand but I've my fingers crossed for a reasonable power increase. I'll let you know what it's like to drive after a week or so of use....

Re: Mr2 garage in west yorkshire?

It wasn't a dig at you Paul it's just that if it's a local garage then I can get someone to drop it off for me. It's a shame I didn't have my MR2 when my brother was at Durham uni.

Re: Mr2 garage in west yorkshire?

Durham is just a little too far and Paul doesn't do weekend work. I've emailed Peter at sbits so now I just have to wait. Nobody remember the Bradford garage?

Mr2 garage in west yorkshire?

I need some work done to my Mk1 and would like to use a garage that knows the MR2. I remember seeing an advert in an old club magazine for a garage in Bradford, anyone know of it? Any other places in the area?

Cheers,

Re: MAP and AFM ECU

Thanks, I'll give them a call.

Does anybody have any software that can be used to connect an ECU to PC?

Fitting new cams to '89 mk1

Is there anything I should check before I change to uprated cams? How do I go about timing them?

MAP and AFM ECU

I have an GEMS ecu but don't know if it's for a mk1a or b. What difference, if any, will this make? I tried an early ecu in my '89 car and it started and idled so the idea that one would work and not the other went out the window. Has anyone else got/used a GEMS unit? Is it easy to update? Cheers, Ian

possible cheaper option

I've had one in my car for about a year now and think it's great. I've since been told that a Mk2 stick can be used as a quick shift but you may need to check this.
