Do you remember this guy's first and/or last name? If so you could try to find him on Facebook

Well, then ask yourself - how bad do you want it? lol

What would be a good reason for DVLA to give you the owner's details or to contact him on your behalf? I have an idea but it may not be very ethical... you could say that your car has been badly scratched at a car park in Reading and you have a witness that saw a car with that registration number. O...

Thanks guys! I reckon it took about 10 hours in total but I'm pretty sure it can be done quicker if you have a grinder.. #-o The problem is keeping it like that. You will need to lacquer it otherwise you will be forever polishing it. And if it rains... Yeah, I'm going to apply a clear coat on Saturd...

I finally had some time to get this done! Well... kind of.. I started sanding and noticed that the old paint started coming off fairly easy and because I had lots of 1000-3000 grit I decided to see how it's going to look like polished.

You may find this discussion interesting! Have a look what karl on there says (page 10+).

It may be worth checking how much he would pay for a policy in his name. Father + son + sports car = high premium :thumleft: I was in your son's position a while ago (it wasn't a sports though) and it was ridiculously cheaper to insure the car just by myself rather than with my dad. I ended up insur...

I have aftermarket oil and water temp gauges installed that seem work fine. Now, I just realised that since I bought the car the engine bay temp sensor has been disconnected, is that bad?

I wanted to replace tyres on my mr2 but when I took the wheels off I saw that some of them were slightly bent.

Haha, true...

In terms of painting the strut braces, do I need some heat resistant paint?

Could you give a bit more details about powder coating?

You're right it is quite easy as long as you stick to a few simple rules. 1. Prepare the braces by cleaning off any grease and debris with white spirit, 2. Rub down any surface defect, rust or blemishes with a medium grit sandpaper (800 grit) and finish with a fine sandpaper (1500 grit) until smoot...

Hi! I was thinking about painting the strut braces in my MR2 but the problem is.. I've never done any paint job in my life (unless digital painting counts :lol: ). I really want to get my hands on this sort of stuff and this particular task doesn't sound too hard, right? :roll: So, what steps do I n...

The only servicing needed is to remove it and blow it out (inside to out) every so often with an airline.

Great, thanks for clarification!

Hi guys, I was thinking about replacing my air filter so I took the old one off to find out what model it is and it says "Apexi Super Intake High Performance Cleaner", I tried to find some replacements online but I couldn't find eactly the same filter apart from this second-hand from Japan...

Could be better / more realistic (especially the rear wheel! ) but I've other stuff to do tonight!



p.s. that's a nice looking mr2 mate!

I've been insured with Elephant and Quote Me Happy, and they both allowed me to drive another fully comp insured car but only if I was 25 or older.. When I was buying my mr2 I used www.tempcover.com I'm not sure if they'll insure you to go abroad, plus, it may be quite expensive - I've paid £50 for ...
