Re: [Mk2] [NA] Mk2 as a daily drive?

To speed my warming up when the temp gauge is nearly half way I use a little boost 0.1-2 bar which shouldnt damage anything but does heat it up faster.

Re: Anyone in or around manchester who can help me fit some stuff ?

Can't help with the dials but fitting the ddin should be quite easy I took my OE stereo out fitted a new one and relocated a boost controller to the lower din. And I'm proper crack handed!

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Mk2 as a daily drive?

Yea this winter I had very weak turnover to start up so replaced the battery before I got stranded. Things like this are important.
If you can't stay on top of it or borrow someone else's car every now and again I'd re think.

I.e if a shock blows or the clutch goes how will you get on?

Re: poly engine mounts!!

I mean yea the car does vibrate a bit at idle but...nm. I had poly inserts on my corolla t that also vibrated and it makes the engine sound louder IMO.

Liveable though.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Mk2 as a daily drive?

I've been driving an mr2 turbo as my daily driver 15-20 miles a day since sept 11 ~… issues were a stuck caliper and coil pack so it didn't start one day last Xmas when it had snowed.

Edit oh yea, and petrol is an issue.

Could the latch be loose on some way that bumps can make it open?
