Re: [All Generic] How can I convert this so it makes sense??

Your conversion was fine. those are just metric units for torque.

To convert Nm to lbs.ft multiply by 0.737561
To convert kgf.m to lbs.ft multiply by 7.233003

Re: Anyone know if a mk1 gearbox will fit in the boot?

Cheers all.

Looks like I'll have to give the GF a choice - Either she stays at home or I put dirty oily things in the back of her car. :p

Re: Anyone know if a mk1 gearbox will fit in the boot?

I've had the box out of my old one before so know the weight well enough. I just couldn't remember the bulk of it.

Re: norwich area meeting ,, sunday 3rd july

Looks like I might have to give this a miss. Off to a Smart show at billing with the Mrs this weekend and probably won't be back in time.

Still, there's always next month.

Re: MK1 - Strutbrace

You're right about the sunroof. My new '2 has a brace fitted and I got all confused on holiday last week when I tried to put the roof away for the first time and couldn't work out why it wouldn't fit (having done it plenty of times in the old car i wasn't expecting any difficulty :p). I'm thinking o...

Re: identify yourself

i expect this will be moved or deleted. i know this has been said many times but is it not a good idea to add your model to the subject. a simple mk1,mk2,turbo or anything that identifies the car. i know nothing about the turbo cars or any mk2 and it would save loads of time if i didnt keep looking...

The blue one's nice but I'm liking the track car :tongue: How did you do in the sprint? Rolls out the excuses.... ;) The sprints (I did 2 last year, and there's one this year which I'll probably do in the new car) were done for fun rather than out of competitiveness. The class I was in was for 1.4 ...

Having just bought my second MR2. I guess I'd better say hi! First MR2 was only bought cheap as a toy/second car to use and abuse. Seems I got hooked and I made the decision to get a tidy one as a daily driver. Took me long enough to find one I wanted and as always seems to happen in these situation...
