Re: Laser Alignment

Mine is -2 at the front but that's because I have 8" et35 wheels and coilovers and that's the closest I can get to -1 whilst keeping the tyres flush with the arch but avoiding the coilover spring.

I have to say I find it darts around a fair bit and am a bit disappointed with it.

Re: Need your help reassembling under trays

Thanks - I found those pictures too but they don't show how the front trays, arch liners and radiator side cowls all come together as 3 different layers and what fixings are used. I went to the scrappy in the end and had a look at the car there. All back together now. For future reference - 2 layers...

This means 3 layers joining at certain points I've got 2 clip types; c clips and s clips, am I right in saying that the s clip are for 3 layers meeting? A...

How to refit front trays

Re: help and advice on this mr2 (potentially purchasing on Sun)

The punt up the rear is the most worrying - the boot lid is pushed in and so is the bumper under the offside light cluster so thats going to be a reasonable shunt. For £2k I wouldn't touch it.

Re: Just had coilovers fitted, pretty sure they're wrong.

Have you also checked that they haven't added a spacer to the front wheels to likely overcome the clash with the coilover spring that sits way lower than stock struts?

That would be my bet. Getting wheels with the right offset is absolutely critical for coilover fitment.

Re: correct twin cam 16 turbo stickers?

The original stickers are sealed behind clear coat. They shouldn't have faded and you can polish the strips up well.

Re: MK2 Turbo Prices

I've had this dilemma for years - basically, when I was 22 I bought the best MR2 I could afford - a stock UK Rev2. Mine is a bit more obvious as a conversion due to the Sunroof shell. I invested a lot of time and love in the car and when I had engine issues with the original N/A lump I went for a Tu...

People usually move on. Some come back to MR2's so you may have to wait a few years!

Re: Better turbo or bigger IC? Help me decide

You might also want to consider thermal gaskets to both throttle body and intake manifolds junctions - should make a small difference to IAT's.
