Re: [All] [Generic] Carputer Guru Anywhere?

The HDD is running when the car is moving yes? Continuous vibrations, knocks and bumps to an operating HDD WILL reduce its life, which is why I wouldnt use one in a car. Solid state ftw.

Re: 1997 Rev.4 MR2 GT T-Bar N/A

Cheers - yeah, it does get dirty very quickly! Car isnt in the best state now, slowly working at getting it back to decent condition again - had a bit of an argument with a tree a couple months ago :( Will look a lot better in a few weeks time once right hand side of the car has the dents pulled and...

Vibrations, bumps and shocks aren't good for a running HDD.

Meko, it is different to leaving a laptop in the car overnight, as said laptop would be switched off.

[Mk2] [NA] Janspeed exhaust and catalytic converter (or lack of)

Hi guys My car has a Janspeed twin exit exhaust, and is also decat - its a 1997 so i very much doubt its going to pass emissions at the MOT in a month or so. Do I need to get the Janspeed cat, or will a stock MR2 cat fit? If the stocker will fit, does anyone have one they want rid of, or will let me...

Re: 16" rims

5 x 114.3 PCD, and the centre bore is 60.1mm I think - best check the KB on here or MR2OC to verify that. You can get wheels with a larger centre bore (IIRC, wheels designed to fit Skylines have larger centre bores) and use a spigot ring to reduce the bore down to the right size. If you get wheels w...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] I NEED HELP!!! NO STEREO.. DRIVING ME MAD!!! :)

I always thought active and premium were the same thing! So, theres two different stock amped systems?

Re: [Mk2] [NA] I NEED HELP!!! NO STEREO.. DRIVING ME MAD!!! :)

You would need 2 pre-outs, or rather 2 pairs of pre-outs. Have a look behind the seats in the boxes at the bottom, do you have a woofer each side?

If your HU only has one pre-out, you could use an RCA splitter (Y cable) but you would lose the ability to fade from front to rear.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] I NEED HELP!!! NO STEREO.. DRIVING ME MAD!!! :)

I have no experience with the active system, so I am not entirely sure what is supposed to be there and what is not. Have a look at your loom, does it look like any wires have been cut, joined or spliced at all?

Did he leave you the mounting brackets?

Autoleads PC2-17-4 is the correct adapter for a non-active system. Looking at the pins on your harness there, it looks like you might have the active system?

seems to match up with that.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] I NEED HELP!!! NO STEREO.. DRIVING ME MAD!!! :)

UK spec, and looking at that its not the active system.

When you say it didnt work, do you mean the HU just didnt power on or the adapter itself did not fit?

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Speaker set up

:lol:

I do miss feeling the LF's sometimes, but for me I would rather have the space behind the seats for the T-Bars, especially if my euro road trip goes ahead this summer!

It does help running the 300.4 bridged, up to 270wRMS a channel :twisted:

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Speaker set up

I have a set of Rainbow SLX265's powered by a Rainbow iPaul 300.4, no sub.

Unless you want to be able to feel the low frequencies, a setup like that is perfect for a small cabin like the MR2.
