I vote angle grinder ... never fails. Replacements are cheap enough, and if they were bad enough to need cutting of then they could do with being replaced.

I think 2gr mk1 is going to be, xxxx your pants fast. Still not convinced that a poor little mk1 chassis will handle all that power on a track.

..... But would love a left seat in one, see how it compares to my mk 1.5

I have to get my self covers are well, got leaks at both sides. Using ye old poly bag trick to stop it just now but looks crap when driving around.

Remember you have to add the cost of painting them as well.

I think you can even use a mk2 rev1 alt or a st185. Might just have to change the pulley over.

Well i'm putting, my mk1a out of the rain for the winter. But the mk1B is my daily drive. even in the wet

rear calipers are sticking don't think so matey. Handbrake light is also the brake-fluid low-level indicator. Either your handbrake switch is knackered, or the brake fluid is low.

I have a mix of Prothane and Superflex on my car. The Prothane are so hard I wouldn't dare put them on the strut rods because of the harsh ride, I'd go Superflex all the way. Can't you drill holes in the Prothane bushes to soften them up a bit? Can you not just get cheep superflex bushes from the U...

If you really don't think there balanced correctly go to ..... dare it say it kwik-fit or farmer's as they have the best stuff to balance and align stuff.

But I would be it down to the low profiles and it being a mr2.

Yeh had a look when I got home and yes... there is fluid there but it's not full by along way. I'll top it up tomorrow. But its the alternator problem thats got me worried since were coming into winter I need lights :D anyone give me hints on which earths to check before I go swapping alts... and si...

I am correct in saying that you have low profile tyres on these 15's as well ?
As this will cause more road noise as well.

I have a spare from a old corolla GTI. But that's been lying in my damp garage for a year so might need a refurb too.

But I won't get round to changing anything until tomorrow or sat. Footie is on tonight and Friday is drinking night anyway

Battery voltage with the engine running should be about 13.8V, so it does sound like the alternator may be on the way out. Check the battery earth first though, as this can affect the reading if its dodgy Is that taking a taking the reading across the battery terminals with engine running at 2k rpm...

My handbrake light won't go out, even when I manually push the switch in. All electrics work. But on the battery that with the came car if you turn everything on when idling the voltage drops any the car slowly dies. I have put in a known good battery, and it still seams to be draining the battery. ...

oopppsss.... I'm in Edinburgh mostly. This one is MR2 number 2, I also have a mk1a C reg in red (not on the road yet) This one seam's to be all rusted round the edges but solid enough underneath . Engine for sounds and goes good even having 153k on the clock. I am a little worried about the alternat...
