How ever be carefully refitting these as the pins are brittle and snap easily... Been there done it yesterday... But nothing that can...

Re: Krish's MR2 - CONVERSION FINISHED - LOVING IT - pg5

very interesting progress thread mate, I too am planning on heading down the conversion path from NA to Turbo.

Seen a fair few rev 3 turbos being broken but not seen many rev3 turbo complete cars as salvage, guess you fell lucky with your find... :)

Keep up the good work

Re: New autopista centre panel - colour code or not

I say keep your existing one :-$

Only reason is if your going for the OEM look or what Toyota should have done then the one you have is clean and crisp and OEM.

I like the autopista panel but feel you might need more body mods to compliment it. Just an opinion but good luck with your choice

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

The new LSC door inserts should be arriving today, hopefully :pray: *edit* Didn't, couriers....... Is converting from the stock cloth inserts just a matter of taking a scalel to the existing ones and clipping the new ones in? It looks to be that way, however it never hurts to hear from those who've...
