Re: [Mk2] [Generic] ferrai style gear change advise needed
to make it flush, you have to cut off the original mounting tab off the gear stick shaft and re-weld it further down the shaft. jmachling your probably right over time, the cables will stretch - but i think this would be a LONG time ..... and as long as you design some clearance you should be fine. ...

[Mk2] [Generic] replacing CV boots
anyone got any experience on doing this ?
Having looked at the manual it seems quite involved , since it looks like you have to remove the whole axle then res-assemble the cv joints which also looks very fiddly??

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Original subwoober quality?
There is a separate amp for each factory sub. IMO when i got my system up and working the extra bass was good ( for the size) from these factory box's when you are parked up - HOWEVER once you are moving , the general road / exhaust noise considerably swamped the low frequencies. Once i get round to...

Re: 200sx?
just thought i'd add my 2p worth ! As a current owner of both these cars, rev3 turbo and s13 both modded - the mr2 is MUCH MUCH faster in 1st / 2nd but then it feels very similiar as the s13 after this ( strange - i cant quite work out why this would be ? ) The MR2 handles better BUT is much stiffer...

A couple of suggestions: how about the cylindrical flap wheels you put in power drills ? Available in various grades. twisted wire brush wheels, available also in brass so not so agressive black & decker powerfile ( belt is about 10mm wide, ideal for intricate areas ) i think any power tool - P4...

Thinking a simple way of doing it is a diode feed ( eg: 1N4007 ) from the positive of the main beam light connector to the positive of the fog light relay coil. BUT i havnt checked the wiring diagram yet to see...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Temp Display in courtesy light. Now Installed!
looks factory fit ! Very neat job. Which temp module did you use ? a thought - if your into your electronics you could rig up a timer that automatically switches between interior and engine bay temp input say every 5 secs and signals which one is which by having a led by the side of the display........

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Coilovers are on! Better Pics..
sweet ! ahh a car can never be too low.
I agree also, the front rims are too close to comfort to the spring itself. On mine it was about 2mm clearance with a 7 width wheel and et42
i feel a new group buy coming on ....... spacers & low profile ally trolley jack !

cosmos blue, fingers crossed that was your problem too !
£2 to fix
Club, it is at the rear of the car as the drive shaft comes out of the gbox on the drivers side - but really you need the car up on axle ramps to slide underneath to get at it.

I've ordered loads of stuff through Apex before, for the 200sx and their service is 2nd to none - hence not going through the other route. will post result when called, cheers ...

Re: K-Sport Coilover kits for MKII
Also interested, since very good price for coilovers - but wonder if we can specify softer spring rates ?
Drop link attachement / issue as mentioned by Roadwarrier - a good point, also what is the max drop available on these coilovers?
