Hi guys Well i have just managed to fix the issue before the light failed. It turned out to be as simple as the spring loaded central post in the distributor cap was jammed down and so not giving a proper contact to the rotor arm. I fitted a new cap anyway and will have a go at freeing up the origin...

Hi all I have an issue with my AW11 which is very difficult to start. The battery seems ok and is turning the engine over well enough, but it is not really even attempting to fire now. I did charge the battery at the weekend just in case and it started at the absolute first turn of the key - but i h...

I'll be buying a few metres of the double glazing seal off ebay - given up waiting now. I'll report back with how it goes sometime

Cheers guys n gals

Peter - any news on the trim kit as requested. I've PM'd you several times but no response. Thanks Aplogies - thought i was up to date with all PMs. :oops: On their way. Expected within 7 days. Thats great. Just spraying up a front quarter panel today so that will be good timing to fit the new part...

Excellent - thanks Jimi. Someone in the past has sprayed both front wings with clear lacquer on my car!!

Evening all I am just about to repaint the front lower quarter panels on my car in 3E5 red. Question is, should they be lacquered after painting red or not? Also, what colour primer is correct? Halfords say white with their rattle cans according to the website but grey seems to be used in pics i see...

On a brighter note, i've just got back from a trip to Buxton to meet Gary (mk1 Dal) who has sorted a front wing for me at a very good price. It turned out an even better price as he's not only repaired and primed a bit of rust on the lower corner as we agreed, but has resprayed the wing in 3E5 red f...

I've got mk3 wheels on my car. The rear nuts are deeper than the front ones and so I got the proper nuts. Both are shorter than mk1 nuts though, so your originals are just going to stick out and probably look a bit out of place.

Crikey a proper kit - has anyone bought one? £29 for the kit and then another £29 ($45.40) for shipping though!!

Hi all Well another post towards my newbie learning experience. I've tried a search about replacing the rubber seal on the side skirts and see that double glazing seal is recommended. Is this the stuff required? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230754560210?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#h...

I think i'll have to get to 15 posts before i can pop pics up. Here's another post towards that anyway!

You'r very lucky to have an MR2 breaker near you

Wish I had one

Good morning Peter.

While its good to have a breaker near me, he's a mk2 specialist only i'm afraid - and I think we all know that (dare I say it) mk1 > mk3 > mk2 dont we??

Thanks Peter - i'll no doubt be in touch to order a pair once i sort a bar out and know the right size to order.
Does £30 for one (from a breakers near me - MR2-Ben) sound about right?

It also looks like i need to sort the drop links due to the different width of the standard bar to the mk2 bar. Has anyone found a direct replacement rather than cut n shut a standard link to spin the heads around??

Hi all After changing all my suspension bushes for Polyurethane ones from SBits, I am looking at an upgrade to the rear anti roll bar. From a search, it seems the Whiteline or mk2 Turbo bar are the ones to go for. Looking at poly bushes available though on Fensport for the mk2 Turbo, it seems there ...

Thats great thanks. I'll keep my out out for a bar, brackets and some poly bushes to match.

Cheers

Anyone got any tips for easyer ways to get the old bushes out easyer took me ages yeaterday. I've just been replacing all the bushes on my own car today. I've still got one rear corner to do but getting there now. Had a real nightmare myself with the old bushes but eventually got them out using a 3...

Hi all Just saying a quick hi to you all from another newbie. I have a 1989 mk1b that will be gradually tidied up over time. I work within walking distance from work so this is very much a toy for me. Car is pretty standard at the moment other than the brakes (Celica ST twin pots with Celica disks u...
