Re: MR2 Mk2 NA - As much fun as a tubby?

So would the concensus be to go N/A and eventually trade in for a Turbo? I don't fancy killing myself anytime in the next 40 years... Just get a tubby and dont drive like a dick. Treat it with the respect it deserves and build up to the potential it has to offer. I had no RWD experience before gett...

Has anyone fitted one of these before, I'm not sure where I can wire these in behind the dash Thanks Sam

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] t1r,bridgestones or your choice?

tbh it felt like I was driving a boat, turn the wheel and half a second later the car turns. I tried more pressure, less pressure, driving slower, driving faster. It felt very vague and I hated every goddamned mile I drove on them however other folks think they're great. Go figure :mrgreen: Strange...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] ARC Induction Box

The SSQV on there at the moment is missing its adjuster nut, and I have a feeling its leaking too so I'm going to ditch it, most likely go for a Blitz Dual Drive :cyclops:

All that lot and a little more boost and I'll be a happy chappy :mrgreen:
