Re: Wandering MR2...
As above..and also, if you have aftermarket alloys / low-profile tyres, you can get that effect from tramlining, due to the tyre stagger front /rear.... Check tyre pressures, too.... The UJ in the frunk is open to the elements, especially if you have removed the plastic undertrays. They can get real...

Re: Massive electrical issue!
So...Engine start / runs fine? Lights work fine? Have you checked to see if your battery is charging? Its frustrating I don't have diagrams anymore, but I'm thinking that based on the above, the main fuses are ok....? So...I'd be looking at an earth somewhere...or possibly your dashboard fuse...?

Re: Massive electrical issue!
If engine didn't start (relay click or less), then disconnect you battery and check voltage across terminals: should be 12.x volts. If correct, reconnect car to battery and check again: if voltage drops right down, then you have a short somewhere....? Could be your starter motor solenoid has jammed....

Re: Massive electrical issue!
But the engine started, right?
Did you have headlights, indicators, etc...?
Did engine run ok......fast idle, rev dropping as it warmed up, etc....?
Or was everything just "dead" (relay click when you try to start engine.....)

Re: Strange problem...
Only just read this...... :) But fob battery is the issue, pretty certain. Similar happened to me. And for what it's worth I also used to have an issue with my Mk3's alarm going off "randomly"... it used to do it at roughly the same time every other evening. I even ran out on the 5th or 6t...

Just shows what the world has come to......
So you're saying no-one wants a mid-engined, 2 seater sports car anymore.....!?!?
The GT86 is a REPLACEMENT...!?? Ha Ha Ha!
GT-86 is dead in the water....was before it had even been launched....trust me....!

Re: thinking of buying a mk3 any pointers always been a mk2 owner
yeh, the rear subframe under the engine is only coated in some really crappy thin paint, so it is prone to rusting.....the "achilles heel" of the mk3 chassis, I reckon..? Shouldn't have any other rusty bits (yet! :wink: ). Check the soft top: especially where the roof vinyl folds underneat...
