Hi, so, anyone know what it is and what the adjustment is for?

Sorry should say this is rev2 NA engine!

Need someone independent to look at it... Where are you based?

Thanks for the info, custom job it is!

Flat floor should benefit high speed stability, top speed and fuel economy. Will let you know if it does anything noticable when I get my project moving. Only 1 month till the ring....

Does anyone know if the guys in the MR2 championship run a flat floor or just use the standard plastic undertray? I'm planning to make a marine ply floor for the MR2 and was hoping someone has already done it!

Sticker type on the front upper bumper?

Aren't rears solid disc?

I'm just concerned people here may be going for skinny tyres on the rear and think they can drive around the inherent issues with this...

Sorry I'm overly passionate!

Interesting you say that, I think most people would think the MR2 has a tendancy to understeer if anything.

Seriously? Did you actually read my post?

A car will have a greater tendency to yaw (oversteer) in any manoeuvre when you put skinnier/fatter tyres on the rear/front.

Maybe a child runs out in front of your car and you do a brake and lane change?

The problem is weight transfer and grip level. A wider tyre provides more tractive effort vs newton of force pushing down compared to a skinnier tyre. If you keep the same brake distribution but stick skinny tyres on the back you will have a tendency to lock the rear wheels. If you're lucky and are ...

Rather nervous of the idea of "I know it's bad so I will drive slowly".

Personally, I'd rather have more grip than less, never know when you have to stamp on the brakes, car will have a greater tendency to swap ends with skinny tyres on the back...

seems like people put on what they can get hold of

Great way to put yourself into a hedge backwards.

Could you pm me how to open the boot? Wish I knew it in Germany 2 years ago when I had to wait 3 hours to get a lock smith my keys back!

Is the car for show or for track? Based on the link above looks like you would ideally want to come down an inch on rim width, but if you aren't driving on the limit it shouldn't be too bad.

Thanks for that, time to get out the snips!

Correct, or remove the fuse for the ABS module. Not sure why you'd want to do this...

I think the 3SGE has 2 auxiliary belts, one running the alternator other running the AC.

Does the one running the AC also run other things such as oil pump or water pump?

Looking at deleting the AC from my car...

Got the girlfriend's car booked in to get the oil and oil filter changed only, or so I thought. They took all the brakes off to "inspect" and knackered the rears in the process and charged us for a full set of rear brakes and their time for replacing them! Complained, got 5% knocked off, c...

As mentioned earlier a compression test is good for comparing each cylinder to see if one is low. Therefore it should be ok to do it hand cranking so long as you can repeat the same process on the compression stroke of each piston. Have a go!
