Re: Front Wheel Bearing Recommendations?

Are there alternative suppliers for nuts and bolts with same specification as Toyota? I know that it would be tedious to compile a list, but part numbers and dimensions would help. Over the years I have lost a lot of these parts. Toyota bolts seem to be pricey for what they are, or am I behind the t...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Steering fog lights - taken apart?

I have never seen any threads on this, but I'm interested if you get any info.

A plastic adjustment cog on the rear of the front fog light has cracked. I would like to know if there are any universal replacements?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Alternator issues - wrong one fitted?

My 1993 Rev2 Turbo came with a 100 amp alternator and oval plug.

If you have power steering, then I recommend you try and get the 100 amp version.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Electronic boot release

Hmmm I have a carbon fiber boot lid. I'm wondering if the original spring would put a lot of stress on the lid. That's why I like the idea of the gas springs opening the boot lid. :-k

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Power steering

There is a fuse in the frunk which is marked ABS (even if your MR2 does not have ABS), it's also for the power steering. You might want to check that too.

I like the look of the rear with the diffuser, is it for looks or function ?

What's the ground clearance at the front?

Re: TOMS C7r Split Rim Wheels - much demand?

TOM'S products do seem to be increasing in value. Like you have mentioned, they need a refurb and even then you need the "right" buyer.

I'm sure you can get adapters to fit a BOV like that in the stock location as well?


You probably can, but that's the way the Bailey kit was sold in its day. I think I purchased mine from Demon Tweeks.

Don't be tempted, you really need to have someone check the FCON out. You will kick yourself if it blows.
