Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Locking wheel bolts - McGard, any good? which size?

I've got a set on my wheels mate, they are the business!

Got them from Envy Performance - they are affiliates on here.

Give them a bell and they will point you in the right direction.

When did you last renew your iggy components, esp. plugs? When I bought the car in May the guy had just had it serviced. I haven't changed the plugs since then. 8-[ Have every intention of doing it soon though. Thanks for the replies all. I'll try the plugs etc for replacing the O2 sensor. Cheers G...

[Mk2] [NA] Car running like a bag of $h!t£...

Over the past few weeks I've noticed the performance (I know, I know - it's an NA :D ) and economy of my car deteriorating. I had been averaging between 280 - 300 miles on a full tank but over the last fortnight I'm lucky if I have seen 230 on the twice I have filled it up. I've also noticed that it...

[Mk2] [Generic] Running rich and over-fuelling

Was flicking through MR2 Only earlier and noticed in the rolling road article that a lot of cars are running rich and over-fuelling (both Tubbies and NA's), what does this mean? Can it only be diagnosed on the rollers? And how do you sort it? Saying that, in the majority of jap car mags that I've re...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Sound's in 2's

Hi mate, The vast majority from what I read on here is that people just upgrade the door speakers to 6.5" Component speakers, they need spacers though. I have been told in the past that running 6x9's as well is a bit overkill in the '2. If you get some good components and an amp to run them (an...

I can't speak for the brake disc upgrade but I have heard and read in the past that an upgrade to braided hoses can make quite a significant difference.

Re: Anti freeze

I'm pretty sure you can use any coolant that is Ethylen Glycol.

Re: radiator problems

Doubt it will work mate. Water always finds a way out unless you find and seal the holes completely.

In my experience with leaking radiators you're best just biting the bullet and replacing as the fixes don't work that well.

Try replacing it yourself to save on labour, it isn't that difficult. 8)

I'll second the technical idea. That is one of the things I enjoy about Jap Performance and the like.

Good ideas though. =D>

Re: alloy offset

Hi mate, The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender...
