Re: start/move car with radiator removed (few meters)

Not had a chance to start yet unfortunately. I have the radiator already and most of the coolant from before so thought i would change the rad and coolant at the same time as none of that has been changed while I've had the car.

Is the top part of the dash clipped, if so is it those daft plastic clips the rest of the interior is held ...

Passenger air vent removal

I need to remove the passenger vent, when its closed and the blower is on there is a whistling noise, i believe the felt on the flap is letting air to pass, i was going to see if a line of silicone or sticking some felt on would help. I've removed the glove box, have a right angled screwdriver but t...

Re: start/move car with radiator removed (few meters)

Cheers.

Fingers crossed that the Condenser bolt is easier to get to with the rad removed.

start/move car with radiator removed (few meters)

I am going to be replacing the radiator and aircon rad. I have a gravel drive so it would be useful to pull the front of the car into the garage to do the work, i was hoping to drain the rad and remove the rad one weekend and replace/refill the next. Would i be ok running the car with the rad off to...

Re: I'm trying to save this mr2!!

Normal idle is about 850/900 rpm.

Resetting the ECU causes the idle to be off for the first 10 minutes, found it can do the drop down to 500rpm so let it run for over 10 mins before changing the idle after resetting the ecu.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Best all round speaker setup

Probably abit much for in car audio.

The DSP on the Soundblaster is fantastic. Only increased the sub bass on the equ a little but the bass boost within the DSP does a fantastic job at pretty much everything i have chucked at it.

Re: Gear stick not returning to centre position

I had this on my 1st MR2, it was near 10 years ago so my memory might be a little off.

At the gearbox end there was a cube that the selector arms pivoted on, removed that, cleaned it up.

Or something along those lines.

Fantastic news and good luck.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Exhaust fabrication

I had the na mongoose modded to fit my rev2 tubby when I had the conversion. With mongoose the boost dropped sooner than it should have for a rev2. Went to the departure std, boost spool was better and top end boost was better. The mongoose sounded nice though and wasn't loud. Didn't take much for t...

Re: New Gear knob - Looking for recommendations

Thanks all, i saw the refurbs from Rhon but couldn't see anything after 2012. The one from revolve automotive in Cheshire looks nice as well.

I spotted the TRD one when looking around, nearly pushed the button but still like the feel of the standard shape.

Is Rhon available via a PM?

New Gear knob - Looking for recommendations

My standard gear knob needs replacing, the coating is coming away and feels horrible.

Any recommendations for something close to stock type of shape?

Re: Avcr splicing wires into ECU

I used positaps to connect into the ecu wires. Part ex-110m
Bought from eBay, easy and clean connection without damaging the wire. They are used on bikes a lot so designed to be strong.
