Hi,
You may remember me from such threads as "htf do i drive this thing o.O" and "hi thar, i be knew to this place". I've just got a couple of questions that have been bugging me. As I'm sure I read these things from random places and I can never find them again ;/
1) Movement of the steering wheel. I'm quite a big guy, some estimate heights of 6'8 and thus the MR2 is a 'tight fit' at best. Although I love the damn thing so much I'm prepared to squeeze in.
So my question is this. I test drove an MR2 G-Limited ( import, obv ) and the steering wheel went up, down, in, out, shake it all about. When I was studying the 1996 UK GT T-Bar 10th Anni one that I've just bought, I could see the wheel went up and down but upon asking the owner if it went in or out, he didn't know.
Do they?
IS THERE SOME HIDDEN SWITCH THAT TOYOTA TORMENTS ME WITH?!
2) This brings me to my second question. Sub-Woofers. I've seen people modify the front of the car, removing the spare wheel to fit in some sort of music station that rivals small clubs. I'd do the same, but I'm not a tit. I'd prefer a spare wheel, as should anything happen, I don't know how smooth the ride would be with three wheels and an amp wrapped in a plastic bag.
I'm sure I read somewhere that there's a 'slot' or a secret "narnia world" like cabinet behind the drivers seat, between where you'd stash your t-bar panels and where the engine is placed. Somewhere in that divider? Now I'm not expecting to find one, open it and see Mr Tumnus but a space for a sub-woofer, just there, would be perfect.
Does it exist?
Cheers in advance.

The shelf that the T bar glass rests on has an opening lid or in some cases houses a built in sub woofer and amplifier.

Re: questions !
Right, well I drove it back last night from Plymouth to Torbay. The in/out wheel thing isn't an issue, turned out it's quite a comfortable drive so I'm chuffed
I don't think I'm gonna have a subwoofer.. no room ;(
Driving it home though, going over speedbumps at 2mph and it purrs... IT PURRS! I wanted to get out of the car, rub it and go kitty kitty kitty
Nice car

extra speaker
Hi
There is a space and even cut out for a woofer speaker located within passenger side behind seat, lift cover up to reveal space. however this was used when sub amp with extra connections for extra woofer speaker.
The driver side also had a storage space but this used for normal storage.
Have you found the other secret storage under fog light switch, idea to hold small torch, money etc.

Thanks for reviving this post, I'd never seen it before and it amused me greatly
Re: questions !
12 years after OP's last post - I think he may have lost interest by now dude.
