[Mk2] [Turbo] Wheel wobble woes

Hi everyone, Have not posted for a while. I still have this ongoing annoying wobble from my car (in the steering wheel) which gets worse with speed. I need to do some diagnosis because I have had the wheels balanced many times and many garages look over the car but have never gotten to the bottom of...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Stereo advice for stereo newbie

Hi everyone, I really dont know much about stero's at all so I would like to ask some advice please. I replaced the head unit that came in the car when I bought the car, it never had the standard one in it when I owned it.

Re: big problems

I dont think regular car batteries are meant to be run flat so it might be knackered and wont be helping your cause...

Maybe you can swap it out with another car for a test to see if it helps

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 11.7 ps1 without EBC

Check the piping around the actuator for cracks or coming loose. If its boosting that much though it should feel much quicker in the mid range so thats somewhat confusing...

Re: Car Covers

Thanks for the snap. So would you recommend it for outdoors? I want something that is going to be no risk to scratching the car at all. Its pretty flat and windy here too so it must not be able to move with the wind.

Cheers

Re: Car Covers

Thanks they do have a few options I will have a word with them and see. I figured on spending up to about £100, I want something decent but 200 would be too much (need cash left over to do some tidying up!!)

Re: What is your favourite 'quirky' thing on your MR2?

The sound of the turbo and the fact it comes from behind you. It is amusing when someone gets in and says whats that funny noise or when people who know a bit more about cars always say they expect that sound to come from the front! There are not many things that are as satisfying as when you come o...

Re: Found a bodged connector under engine - help! (pics)

Had the same question - and mine was for an oil temperature sender. Mine is made by Greddy - as it turns out everything else was wired up I just had to buy a new sender as it looked like the wire had snapped onthe original (still in sump) So it looks identical to the one I have - http://www.hopuprac...
