Ok, understand now- thanks!

http://www.vredestein.com/Banden_Bandtypes.asp?UserSessionID=32872736&BandtypeID=3 These were tested by evo magazing in their tyre test this year, called Ultrac Sessanta. Got very good marks, and they werent that expensive if i remember. Not checked what sizes they come in tho.. http://www.vrede...

Some info here, based on a rev 1/2 so if yours is rev3 its slightly different: http://www.mr2.com/TEXT/PriCatRemoval.html

GTSChris also has a good guide with pictures, but i cant find the link right now

Thanks; but surely if its designed for both crank fitments its gonna slop-around? Couldnt this lead to it not being bolted up centered and hence vibration?

I've noticed on the Fidanza flywheel i bought second hand that the 8 bolt holes that hold it to the engine are not round but ovalised. I thought perhaps it was damaged, but seeing a picture of a new fidanza on a site somewhere- its exactly the same as the one i have. So my question is, if they're ov...

HaHa, its not what i would call an 'easy' job exactly. Its not very accessable(Stuffed down the front of the engine against the firewall, the bolts will be rusted solid and it weighs a ton!

Do a little bit of reading before hand to decide if you want to attempt it.

I'm pretty sure you need brake caliper grease. Its very heavy lube, and it wont break down under heat. It comes in the rebuild kit from toyota- but i guess they dont sell it separatly.
Motor factors or halfords should stock it i think?

NOTE: Despite Jim's picture, please dont remove the head to get to the thermostat


Changed mine the other day, even though it looked fine the car warms up a lot faster now and holds the correct temperature regardless of boosting/crusing etc.

SORN that beastie matt! Dont break it!

Is it possible that the wheels have 2 sets of holes to make them multi fitment and you've not used the correct ones?

Theres not really any explanation other than the wheels are not for the mr2. All mr2s (Well mk2s anyway) have the same PCD.

I have a helix stage2 cerametalic 4-puk clutch to go on my motor. I've not driven a puk clutch, or a cerametalic clutch before and i'm wondering what it'll be like? I've heard it'll be more on-off and as its cerametalic it'll wear faster if slipped. Does this mean stuff like parking, getting in my (...

I dont think the HKS is that bad really, you do need to change the element regularly tho.. like with every oil change.

Andy, where did you get the alloy alternator bracket, or was it custom made? This must save a ton of weight!

Useful to hear- thanks for the heads up.

Got mine from GTS Chris off the first group buy.

I really love my Berk exhaust, its easier to live with than the Apexi GT (Which i also loved, but was too loud day-to-day) Having said that, you really have to keep it clean.. despite being 'stainless' it rusts/corrodes quite quickly, especially on the tips and in this weather, and it takes a lot of...

How are you pressing the bearing in? Sounds to me like they've not installed correctly. As you say; no way you should be going through them that fast.

Either the spring has been damaged or the damper has blown. Try jacking the corner up and seeing if there is any oil leakage.

As others have said, there are 2 styles of bulb- standard and offset where the locking pins are offset, 1 nearer the base, and one nearer the actual glass bulb. Silvertec bulbs are the best, they look silver, but flash orange and last a long time- not cheap tho, ~£15 for 2 8-[ You need the offset type

You will notice the difference on the road with uprated strut braces, the TRD ones especially are VERY stiff!
