I did this on mine around 5 years ago. Cost was around £80 from what I remember. It looks good for a while, but I'm still to be convinced about the durability of powder coat.

Next time I'd blast it and POR15 it I reckon.

Remove all loads off the Dome circuit which according to the 1990 EWD I have is: Power Antennae motor Door courtesy lights+switches Personal light (whatever that is) Factory Fit Alarm Radio/CD Player Rear boot light+Switch Active Stereo amp+subwoofer. With a bulb connected by 2 wires run this across...

Nooo, updating and adding loads of features that slow things down and frustrate the end user is not a good thing. Maybe add a thanks function, ditch the pink for a fresher white and blue format and that is all it needs! If they do update to a newer version, just because there are lots of features do...

Are you wanting struts or inserts? KYB as far as I know only make the inserts not entire struts. TCB parts do genuine Toyota struts for £55-60+VAT, cannot really argue with that. I'd wager once you get your suspension apart you'll find the top strut plates and front mounts totally shot too. So if th...

I had my rear lights very lightly tinted on the inside when they were modified. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a341/leewa79/DSC_0303_zps6c41a4d0.jpg The difference is very subtle, but it makes the red a darker shade and it tones down the amber indicator sections. Also doesn't look a bit council. ...

It's not always the case but a higher price can reflect a better condition car. If I wanted a solid car then I'd be happier paying a premium than pay for the hassle and unknowns of having someone return it to decent condition. Even doing most stuff yourself costs can get rather high. It wouldn't be ...

It will be considerably louder on an n/a. It was whisper quiet on my turbo but after the V6 conversion it was annoying the neighbours and myself. It had to go!

If you are in Hull head up the A1 to Newcastle have a good night out while the car is booked into AAS. They will do a fantastic quality exhaust, will sound and look exactly like you want. It's not the cheapest or most expensive but they are the best in my experience and I've had my fair share of cus...

ACT 6puk rated for 500hp will destroy your left leg in traffic also a grabby thing that requires higher revs means its not a particularly nice thing to use unless you're on the right road with little traffic. Low cost clutch options for high power applications don't really work out well for everyday...

Your brakes are goosed that's the main stuff. Personally I'd avoid 2nd hand calipers, they only lead to issues sooner rather than later. This is what £230 at big redd did to my calipers: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a341/leewa79/temporary_zpsb26c2163.jpg And they were absolutely shot at! Went f...

Steve at Edge Automotive did mine in Nappa leather, around £100 from what I remember.

It's not the nicest of wheels, the rev4 but it looks the best it can now:

There are 1000's of MR2 left and to be honest I don't ever see values rising as a direct result of rarity. Condition and desirable aftermarket parts/options is what has a greater effect on price in my opinion. You'll see plenty of £1K-£2K cars around, very occasionally a car will come up that is exc...

So really it's £5K for a Spyder bodyshell, as that is pretty much all I'd keep of that thing.

That's very tidy! ^^^^^ I view mine as a potential classic. It's fragile, expensive to run, temperamental, built in low numbers and it actually has character, odd as it's German. :mrgreen: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a341/leewa79/DSC_0005_zps5c811af4.jpg I really cannot see me parting with it ...

Need pictures

I'd have been there if I wasn't stuck offshore

Maybe not scientific but 3 of us brimmed our cars in Elgin and drove together for 200 miles at the same pace. Mine was the only turbo but according to the gauge it had used considerably less fuel. Maybe to do with gearing, the n/a is quite busy at motorway speeds.

I always thought you were a similar age to me Jim, does the 'race look' not seem a little more for the younger lot?

I thought your last rev5 was about as far as I would go for exterior mods and looked great because of it.

If it's purely for indoors it will be fine for protecting the car. I think that's the model I have for mine, which keeps it protected from the little one and the cats climbing all over it.

If it was outdoors then the Monsoon would be the minimum I'd go for.

well ive had enough, i just cant be doing with this stress.... for sale section here we come. :lol: Well done for sticking it out and going through every avenue before giving up :thumleft: I don't know what I'm surprised at, the fact you gave up so soon or that you expected a 20 year old car to be ...
