Re: Roof panels
Just standard I'm afraid and someone has showed and interest via pm so unless the postage puts them off, they're gone now. Cheers.

Roof panels
Anyone want my spare T-bar roof panels? They're free to a good home, though if you want me to post em you'll need to reimburse the postage or arrange pick up. Located in Edinburgh. I need shot of them before I move house.

Re: First track day - Mk1 MR2
Stock and probably slightly baggy suspension on my 168k miles mk1 and I don't think it was a problem, having brakes that I knew I could push all session would have made a more dramatic difference I think. I could have been out longer, pushing harder!

Re: Suspension refresh
I got a pair of front shocks from Toyota for ~£120 or so, not exactly sure but I remember thinking it was a reasonable price. Standard of course but that's the what everything else in the suspension system has been designed for.

Re: Rear caliper - Fensport let me down need slide pin
Thanks Elbon.
MartG, I can see why you wouldn't want to sell just the hanger, I'll take the drivers side (RHD) caliper and hanger then. Do you want me to paypal you?

Re: How the hell is this going to come out?
Another vote for those Irwin extractors, they can grip on some amazingly rounded bolt heads.

Re: Front End Knocking Noise
On mine it was the front anti roll bar drop links as suggested earlier, get under the car and give each drop link a good tug, if there's movement there's your culprit.

Fensport - disappointed
Fensport sent me the wrong caliper but expected me to pay to post it back to them when it was their mistake. Very disappointed.

First track day - Mk1 MR2
Last summer I took a pretty standard mk1 out on a track day at Snetterton. Mostly it was about learning a bit more about driving quickly and getting to know the car a bit better. I had expert tuition on hand all day as my father is an experienced racing driver who has driven single seaters for years...

Re: MK1 Across the arctic circle this Monday (Time Lapse youtube film)
Totally agree about the fun to be had sliding a mk1 around in the snow, the lack of any interference from traction control, ABS or even power steering makes it such a joy to dial in some oversteer and drift around. Lovely vid.

Re: Rear caliper - Fensport let me down need slide pin
Elbon, thanks for looking it's appreciated.
Charger, it's a shame to hear that about Fensport, and your other point is noted, wanted ad. placed.
Can't post pictures or links up yet.

Re: Rear caliper - Fensport let me down need slide pin
No, I have to say the hanger error was mine, the photo didn't show the hanger but when they sent the wrong caliper it did have a hanger. The explanation was "sometimes they have them and sometimes they don't, no I won't get you a hanger."

Re: Rear caliper - Fensport let me down need slide pin
Wrong part first time was their mistake, they don't promise to supply the hanger and the picture shows no hanger so not necessarily their problem there. I do feel I've been treated pretty shoddily though. The pin is very pitted and corroded, I refurbed the rest of the caliper a few months ago and th...

Rear caliper - Fensport let me down need slide pin
Hi, a quick intro before I launch into the gory details, I've been a Mk1b MR2 owner for about 5 years and do a bit of work on it myself. I've also got a 60 series Landcruiser, what can I say - 80's Toyotas do it for me:) Longtime lurker but not poster. I bought a rear caliper from Fensport who sent ...
