Re: HughesR1's Red N/A restoration

Went with satin black for now as these wheels only cost me £20 and I just plan to use them until tyres are dead :thumleft:. Had an afternoon giving the engine bay a quick clean and replaced a few manky bolts, getting there slowly. Also tinted the rear 1/4 windows with some left over tint (mostly to ...

Re: Street/track pads

That setup with yellowstuff is a nice package. Some people slate EBC pads but I've ran yellowstuff on multiple cars in last few years and found them to be much better than the old stuff.

Yellowstuff on the on the Elise have lasted 6 trackdays and lots of road use, still going strong!

Re: HughesR1's Red N/A restoration

That was how I felt about T-bars, fairly easy to get a colour match these days though. You can either ask a signwriting company to wrap it and let them find a match or go on a site such as MDP supplies ( http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk ) and ask for free colour samples etc. You can actually get some re...

Re: HughesR1's Red N/A restoration

Yup, I'm actually gonna vinyl black the inside first either way and then probably sticker bomb it :thumleft:

They are fairly easy to wrap. If you have worked with vinyl before you can do them in about 30 mins :thumleft:

Re: HughesR1's Red N/A restoration

Here's the inside of the car with the vinyled roof, it is fairly red! Considering sticker bombing it or doing some rising sun graphics on top of some blank vinyl so they could be easily removed. The T-bar shades will cover them if wanted though. http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2824/8916041149_d2ea33d3...

Re: HughesR1's Red N/A restoration

I've pulled the gear gaiter down slightly exposing the metal shifter and the shift knob actually looks and feels great now. Might polish up the shifter a bit :D Here's the gearknob if anyone was interested, fitment is xxxx but does go on eventually. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281095894813?ssPageName=...

Re: Apexi springs and dampers?

Managed to fit these this week. Slight worry initially as there was a slight knock but it was just the drop link I got supplied with. Whipped them off and all was well! :D As for road holding and firmness, they are slightly crashy at low speeds but once you get above 50mph they seem to dampen alot m...

Re: HughesR1's Red N/A restoration

Its seems black is always a safe bet with wheels :thumleft: I may have to start a little thread for the Elise as it is heavily modified and everybody seems to love it aha Fitted a chinese gearknob today for £8, not too keen on it but will have to do until I get a nice clean OEM knob! http://farm4.st...

Re: Too wallowy on a spirited drive! Suspension discussion

I think either of the things you've mentioned will make the car feel more planted, but I'm all for polybushing first. Except for my current MR2, I always polybush my cars and personally don't find it too harsh at all. If your suspension & tyres are working correctly all should be well. The Elise...

Not serious light but if you don't have the T-bar shades in it does feel a bit like a rave, I will take a pic from the inside :lol:

Cheers :thumleft: Picked up some more spare wheels so contemplating a cheeky colour change before maybe going to 16's. Did a few photoshops and can't decide what I like!

HughesR1's Red N/A restoration

I knew it wouldn't be long before I missed my MR2 so I'm back with my 4th one so far. Searched for a quite a while to find a nice car and didn't realise how hard it was these days to find a nice solid Mk2 :shock: Anyway I picked this up because the owner had had it 7 years, had full service history,...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] low oil light

I might have a rev2 N/A Oil level sensor going soon if you did want to replace it mate? New sump doesn't have a hole for the sensor so it won't be going back on my car lol

Re: Sump oil level sensor removal

I was hoping I could just remove the bulb, I prefer not to rely on a light to tell me when my oil level is low anyway :D

Sump oil level sensor removal

Trying to pick up a sump for my 3SGE and might possibly be fitting one without the hole for the oil level sensor. Is there way to remove the sensor on my car without the light staying on the dash? :?:

Cheers
