Re: [Mk2] [NA] MR2 na induction pipe?

May give this a go, I currently have one micro filter on the top right PCV valve and then another on the one by the throttle body. Probably sort out a catch can at some point.

I will see if it makes any difference with one on the IACV as well lol :thumleft:

Re: [Mk2] [NA] MR2 na induction pipe?

Shinny, question.... Where is the hose for your IACV? I am sure I read before you put a Mini filter on it?

Is there likely to be any difference good or bad? Tempted to do it myself as its a pain trying to run a hose from it to an aftermarket hose / filter.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Electrical gremlins visitation.

It needs a good wiggle to get it out of the pivot mounting mate Correct. Then be prepared to have to remove gearbox mount, lower subframe, remove exhaust B pipe. Not all always necessary, but quite normal to have to do so. Oh dear, in the bath at the mo, recovering.......... I also like to bath aft...

Fan Sensor

Is the sensor that is attached to the engine lid that turns the fan on the same part as the one that plugs into the OEM airbox?

Re: charcoal cannister removal

I removed my canister and blocked the vacuum hoses then joined the top and bottom hose together. My understanding is its there to vent pressure from the fuel tank but apparently by joining the pipes it still vents somewhere under the car, could be wrong but not had any problems with my N/A with it r...

Re: Tyres

There is a lot of super sketchy info in this thread. Your car will run fine on 235/40/17 tyres, and you will not need to increase the size of the front tyres. A 30mm stagger is totally fine. A lot of people run a 40mm stagger. Tyre WIDTH has very little impact on grip relative to tyre COMPOUND. Con...

Re: Tyres

Yeah, well as much as I would love the best tyres I could possibly get I don't see the point on a not so powerful N/A, If I owned a turbo then I would go for the best.


Currently looking at Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 K120, Seem to be getting pretty decent reviews :thumleft:

Re: Tyres

ok so just got of my ar$e and my wheels are

7.5J ( says H2 next to it, what does that mean lol)
ET 42

So I am thinking to go for 235/40/17 ( is this safe to use ? )
And stick a pair of 15mm hubcentric spacers on the rear (is this about right?)

Cheers

Re: Tyres

Thanks dude! yeah had a think and its also lowered on tein super street coilovers so will probably be best trying to get hold of some 235/40/17! Seem to be so much more expensive than the 225 ](*,) Anyone got some suggestions that will be similar to the Toyo T1-R's Thanks 215 http://ears.co.uk/tyre...
