Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Garages in Scotland to fit a chargecooler??

Now I've not used stainless creations but paid them a visit and called them. The visit was a waste of time as the guy I spoke to that was welding the exhaust, something I would reckon they are good at knew absolutely nothing about MR2's and admitted as much. He said that they generally didn't do any...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Front Fog light bulb gone bang.

What an absolute nightmare of a job that was. Plastics got butchered unavoidably to get the units out, thankfully my friend is an absolute genius at repairing all sorts on cars. He rebuilt the plastic holders on the surrounds, drilled holes in them and glued it all up like new! New bulbs fitted, sel...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Front Fog light bulb gone bang.

Th and guys, I'll being doing this tomorrow with the help of a very good friend that has been a godsend when rebuilding my GT4 and he is pretty much a wizard with jap cars. Bought a 2.5 mm drill bit to get the retaining screws out. Wanted a 2mm bit but the 2.5mm was just a tad longer hopefully givin...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Front Fog light bulb gone bang.

Right, stripped back the underside plastics to get at the rear of the foglight bulb..... How on earth you access this in reality I have no idea at all. So, back to drilling out the front plasti surround that holds the lense in place. I'm presuming that by doing this you can then change the bulb from...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Clifford concept 300 fitted. Now won't start.

Was traced back to a bad earth on the starter relay which has now been "temporarily" bypassed. But it looks like some whopper decided to, at least in part. Leave the standard toyota alarm system still installed! This would explain the horn going off when I deactivated the clifford system, ...

[Mk2] [NA] Clifford concept 300 fitted. Now won't start.

Came out of the ships and disarmed my car, no clifford chirp just the car horn going off. Presumably the standard system. Armed and disarmed several times got the usual clifford chirp and all the dash lights come on and correct lights go out etc. Car will not even try to turn over or even try to, to...

"Driver training"?

Not presumptuous or condescending at all.

xxxx sake. I didn't realise I had to pass such a vigorous vetting process for each and any question I might post up based on personal preference! Lol.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Best way to improve handling and predictability?

Didn't ignore it, I want to run 17's with 255's. I have always run big rubber on all my modded cars. Yes they tramline, yes it can be a hassle to get it just right etc but it would be somewhat boring if we all did the same things with our MR2's or whatever cars we own and mod. 255's on rolled arches...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Best way to improve handling and predictability?

Not lowered.

Not sure off offset.

From what I can see I reckon they will fit but the arches will need rolled when it's lowered for sure.

It's definately got power steering as the light "PAS" comes on then goes out on the dash.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Best way to improve handling and predictability?

I presume rolling the rear arches is a must when fitting 255/40/17's?

Faffs are no good.
