Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] £50 Reward - Answer a Simple Question

I know it's a long shot, but could it be from an imported Caldina GT4? No idea if they use stock Celica setup or not, but modified componants such as you describe here could have easily been changed for other specific models.

What other cars was the 3SGTE in?

Re: Bad day at the MOT Station, please help.

If it shut itself before he could finish tinkering with the adjustment, then you can raise them manually by turning little knobs in the frunk. Perhaps raise it that way, adjust aim a bit more, and hope it's ok for MOT :)

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] super advan 17" fitment?

I'd prob go for a narrower & shallower front tyre... 215/40 or something. 45% of 225 is quite a bit chunkier looking than the 40 on a 215 for some reason, didn't think there would be much in it. But smaller tyres will definately help.

Re: 10th Anniversary

Anniversary models in UK were numbered, in Blue or Silver, JDM models were not numbered and have a few subtle differences inc the steering wheel. They had a momo 3 spoke. Here's a couple of pics of the UK flyer. http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/7796/mr210thukfront.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us h...

Re: wheel off set help

Mine are 17x8 ET35 with 215/40 up front, and 17x9 ET38 with 245/35. Roll the rear and you can get some big tyres on, 255 is common on the rear but fronts would need changed regardless of offset i would think. See if you can see the fitments and i'm sure some wheel guru's will help with fitment. They...

I'd say BLACK, or black with polished lip even. I think solid colour MR2's suit black wheels :)

Have any of you SA3R guys ever replaced the small centre coin/medalion circlips? I have two "coins", and hopefully getting another two from a friend. However, i will need to get new circlips and i'm not sure how to measure them exactly. Anybody done this and know what sizes you used? The c...

I didn't fit them, i sold them... on here i think actually. They now supply their own Koni springs which i think are -30mm. The ones sold with the kit previously were another make. They are easily enough changed, but i got friends to help me as i am a crap mechanic :( lol. The Tein springs are -37 &...

Re: Anyone tried the Gmax suspension kit?...

Koni inserts are £200 EACH on Fensports site... Jeez. Maybe do springs then inserts one axle at a time... or stay with factory inserts... or go for black billies? Google Koni SSK for MR2, the complete kit is allot less and also comes with springs :) http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap/73057/toyota...

Re: Anyone tried the Gmax suspension kit?...

Got Koni adjustables on mine (inserts) along with Tein springs. The springs are as many know quite firm indeed but the stance is spot on. The shocks on the other hand are some of the finest around. They know how to make suspension. I would highly recomend them. A little play with the firmness and yo...

Thanks Jason, but i was refering to the rear one :wink: However, i have since emailed Tein UK who have gotten back to me to state that the Turbo only note has been changed as they will fit N/A models too but a coolant pipe needs to be re-routed through the bar.

Hi Guys & Gals, Sorry for the noob like question but on a couple of sellers websites this is listed for Turbo models only, is this correct or will it indeed fit the NA too? Never seen any others listed as Turbo only. :-k Was initially looking to get a Greddy, and might still, but Tein and Cusco ...
