Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] How does an Apexi N1 compare to Departure 2 reg

Does the bung make any difference?
I will get it on and see what I think. Sure it will get snapped up if I decide to sell.

Re: 3 Piece Split Rim Refurb Options?

You can't lacquer polished metal. It dulls it like you have found and it soon peels off as there is nothing for it to adhere to. You just have to keep cleaning them.

Re: 3 Piece Split Rim Refurb Options?

Got my rears on.
Pics to follow when the fronts are on, which I am still refurbing.

Those bolts are S**T quality jeff!! I would not have accepted them.
I managed to bring mine up as new by running them on my polishing mop. I would send them back and ask for your money back.

Re: 3 Piece Split Rim Refurb Options?

Anyone....
I am just putting my rear wheels together and being a muppet I am unable to remember what centre goes with the deeper rear lip. Is it the centre with the wider part that site on the hub to push it further toward the arch or the one with less. If that makes any sense at all.

Re: instability at high speed

I bet there is more sidewall stiffness in the Colways than the S**T Toyos.
They are shocking on the MR2, really bad!
It's like driving a jelly.

Re: Refurbing struts

I went from rev3 shock and springs to rev3 rebuildables with TRD springs and shocks.
Difference is unreal, feels so complient on country roads but nice and firm when throwing it around.
Koni inserts are good, so I have heard.

Re: Anyone need oil change anytime soon????

Guys this is a great offer and if I didn't have some in the shed I would jump in. This is probably the best oil you could put in your MR2. As for saying oil is normaly around "25, thats because it's not that good. Dave is correct in saying it's the Rolls Royce of oil. Don't scrimp on oil. You w...

Re: 3 Piece Split Rim Refurb Options?

Looking good jeff.
How much did you end up paying to have the centres, caps powder coated?

I am taking longer to do mine as I am having to wet and dry through all the grades before polishing + I am not having much time due to loads of work.

Re: 3 Piece Split Rim Refurb Options?

No problem. Take the wheels appart. Runs some 120 grit over the wheel to score the paint, add nitromorse paint stripper to remove the old paint. Keep doing this till you are back to bare metal. Then you can etch away before painting. Etch primer is a primer that has acid in it so it gets really good...

Re: 3 Piece Split Rim Refurb Options?

Gents, the halfrauds paint is not that good, it does not have that good adhesion and it brittle. I spoke to these guys http://www.wheelpaints.co.uk/ and they supply lots of the paint to manufacturers for their wheels. Most of the paint is for in a spray gun but you can buy it in cans from them.
