Re: steering wheel wobble

It's a 2002 model and yes it does have different wheels with spacers. 4 Wheel geo alignment carried out by a motor sport company. I've checked the tyre pressure and it's a little high, so will alter this. I'll be changing n/s front wheel hub as the bearings seem a little dry. I'll be changing front ...

The wheel bearings seem okay, no play, and I will now change the disks and pads ( both of which look okay, ve...

Hi, when driving between 44-52 MPH, my sterering wheel rocks/wobbles from side to side. Slight pull to the left but not under breaking. Below and above these speeds no problem. I've had an all 4 wheel geometry check and each wheel balanced, but still have the problem. Any idea what else it could be ...

Re: Coilovers

If you're after bracing go to MR2ROC and search for a chap called aaronjb, really good friend of mine who is splitting his incredibly well-sorted Roadster now. He's got the full set of Web 3.0 Racing bracing still up for grabs I think. Piece of cake to fit, all just bolt on. I've heard of the Meist...

Re: Coilovers

Assuming you can get them for £600, then I'd got for either the Tein SuperStreets or the BC Racing ones. That said, I'd only go down this route if you've already fully braced the car (front FSB and TTET cross brace as a bare minimum) and put a set of thicker ARBS on there too, as they'll make more ...

How to advice - change front & rear brake pads

Hi,
I want to change the front and rear brake pads myself. Does anyone know if there is an idiots guide to show how best this should be done.

I'll be using MR2 stock pads but if anyone can suggest any suitable alternative I'm all ears.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
