Re: Quick Q: Space saver wheel for Mk1 on MK3 roadster alloys.
Great thanks both. Im calling him later just to double check both sizes on the originals and the roadster ones. If they are the sizes I stated and the 14's are OEM (im 99% sure) then I think we are best of just swapping a wheel over and giving it a go. So pleased i asked here, i knew I had messed up...

Re: Quick Q: Space saver wheel for Mk1 on MK3 roadster alloys.
The diameter (14", 15") doesn't matter at all, it's the overall rolling radius including the tyre which needs to be somewhere near the original, as long as it physically fits over the brake caliper. Typically space savers are a smaller diameter rim, but with a much larger profile tyre to ...

Quick Q: Space saver wheel for Mk1 on MK3 roadster alloys.
Good afternoon, I recently sold my Mk1 to a friend of mine. I sold it complete with MK3 roadster alloys, the 15" 4 x 100 pcd ones. He wants a space saver wheel for the front in case he gets a flat tyre. He put a teardrop one in until I pointed out they are 14" and cant be used. So im after...

Been offered £1,150 via PM for pickup from my house. Just to update anyone interested, took her out for a 5 minute/2 mile run after topping up battery. Warms up well, temp gauge showing just below centre, oil pressure in middle while stationary idling and while driving sits in between the two guide ...

Re: FOR SALE: MR2 AW11 MK1b, Silver, 52k miles, history, Koni yellow suspension etc
Plus front wing. This is the question i asked them, why are the prices based on Toyota when a good independant would be able to restore and repaint the existing panels? They always go by the main dealer, seems pointless as at dealer prices even a newish car could easily be a write off. How many goo...

Re: FOR SALE: MR2 AW11 MK1b, Silver, 52k miles, history, Koni yellow suspension etc
Oh I agree if it actually cost more to fix than its worth then fair enough, In this case though a scrape on the wing and maybe a new wheel? Pfffff, no danger. Have you priced up a rear wing from Toyota + paint + labour + the cost of a new wheel from Toyota? Plus front wing. This is the question i a...

look , you seem like a really nice guy, so if you genuinely are feeling aggrieved that you have only been offered a grand for the car , my apologies. I did however warn you about the usual platitudes that tend worm their way into these threads. the "im temped, if only I had, if it was my car&q...

Re: How much would you value this car at?
Looks like a job for ebay then... And yes it was written off to cat c based on the wheels also, total cost was far over book price so they made it cat c. The inspection took 3 mins and didnt cover the mechanics which were unharmed. The whole thing felt wrong at thet time and despite being at non fau...

Re: How much would you value this car at?
When I saw the photo posted on the advert I thought "wow" I then read about the CAT C - I wouldn't buy it based on that due to insurance costs would go up". I then looked at further pictures on your photobucket profile - Rust and scuffs on the front and rear arches and rust on the sc...

Re: How much would you value this car at?
Im greatful for the replies and the honesty. Just in VIC tests and tax and mots and new tyres it owes me £500 so its bad news indeed. I was originally thinking £1,500/750 odd but then saw cars with double the mileage for 2K etc. Yes it looks like the CAT C is the gift that keeps on giving :roll: I w...

Re: FOR SALE: MR2 AW11 MK1b, Silver, 52k miles, history, Koni yellow suspension etc
For £2k I'd be expecting extremely good condition all round and lower mileage than 150k. I know the engines are good for it but I've seen very few that are that high, and mine is the second highest I've seen at 161k. I don't think they've gone up in value at all, although there are some mint exampl...
