Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Split Rim Wheel size, advice and Photo's needed! SHOW OFF YOUR RIMS HERE!

Those Enkei splits seem very popular on MR2's, any particular reason? I haven't really seen them on many other cars.

They look lovely in black with polished rims on a black car!

[Mk2] [Turbo] MK2 REV 2 Has a MAF (AFM) and a MAP Sensor??

I've recently acquired a Rev 2 MK2 turbo which is currently in pieces. I was under the impression it runs a MAF, and I have a MAF for the car somewhere, but when I had a look in the engine bay last night I saw what looked like a Map sensor attached to a vac pipe leading to an offtake on an intake pi...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Split Rim Wheel size, advice and Photo's needed! SHOW OFF YOUR RIMS HERE!

I'm hoping they are as I don't want to go as big as 17" and I think they look alright in that style, not too small and squashed inside the rim.

Judging by the profile of the tyres compared to the 17's above I'm 99% they must be 16's

16's it is, decision made :D

Cheers All!

Nice, are they 17's? I was thinking of using Image, how did you find them? Would you recomend them?

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Split Rim Wheel size, advice and Photo's needed! SHOW OFF YOUR RIMS HERE!

Nice, do you know what size the wheels are in the above two posts, I'm trying to work out if 16" will look two small in a split rim.

Are they 17's?

Cheers

Thanks for the big response! :thumleft: Some nice wheels, I was going down the three spoke route but I might be talked out of it.

That wheelspecs.com website is handy! Cheers!


Keep them coming!! :D

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Split Rim Wheel size, advice and Photo's needed! SHOW OFF YOUR RIMS HERE!

7 & 8 inch would be good. A nice 22 - 25 offset for both would bring the wheels inline with the stock arches Cheers, exactly what I needed Any more photo's? specifically 16" and 17" Super advans I'm hoping to compare, should give me a better idea of whether I can get away with 16"...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Split Rim Wheel size, advice and Photo's needed! SHOW OFF YOUR RIMS HERE!

It will be a long way off until the money comes into it as I haven't started designing yet and I'm a bit of a perfectionist, I'm hoping to haggle them for £320 a wheel all in including rims from image, as I'll be supplying them with full production ready CAD model with FEA analysis already completed...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Split Rim Wheel size, advice and Photo's needed! SHOW OFF YOUR RIMS HERE!

They're nice, got a nice thin spoke so avoids the 'stunted' look I was talking about (because on split rim the rim mounting flange takes up some of your available spoke length.) Do you know how heavy they are? By design I mean I'll be designing the centers from scratch, then either getting them CNC ...

[Mk2] [Generic] Split Rim Wheel size, advice and Photo's needed! SHOW OFF YOUR RIMS HERE!

I am about to start designing some 3 piece split rims for my MR2. I've got a rough idea of the direction I'm going to take but could do with seeing a few examples to help decide a couple of things, hopefully you can help me out? I was going to go for 16" diameter as I don't like overly large wh...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Advice needed on Donor engine - Shall I Replace Water/Oil pump?

Yeah, I've decided I will replace the Water/Oil pumps, hydraulic tensioner, cambelt and other bits and bobs, may aswell be safe rather than sorry!

Cheers for the advice!

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Advice needed on Donor engine - Shall I Replace Water/Oil pump?

OK sounds like a unaminous decision then! How often do the water pumps fail on these engines? if I had to replace anything once the engines fitted I'd probably drop it out of the car anyway rather than try and do it in place But I'll start saving my pennies and if I've got enough by the time I'm rea...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Advice needed on Donor engine - Shall I Replace Water/Oil pump?

Got a decision to make and wouldn't mind some advice. Background I've got a non running Mk2 Turbo and a spare engine to drop into it. (Engine in the car currently is possibly fine but spare engine came from a lower mileage car and is handy to work on out of the car) The spare engine has already got ...

Re: Quick underbody seal question

I've always found Bilt Hamber products work very well, Dynax for inside sills and rails and hydrate 80 for flat panels.

As mentioned, hammerite is a metal paint not an underbody sealant :thumleft:
