Haha!!! you aint the only one! Stupid thing is I had this caliper off just last month and it wasn't rounded then
Anyway, given it up as a bad job and dropped it off at my local friendly engineering firm.

Wheel stud removal
Any advice for removing wheel studs? I understood the best way was to remove the caliper and knock them out with a big hammer? Problem is one of my caliper bolts (bottom one) is rounded off and the big bolts that hold the caliper surround on both sides are solid. Infact they're closer again to round...

Re: IMOC trips over the channel????
Aye, Lauren has one planned for Early July and I think we're planning on going Early August if not joining Laurens Expedition.

Re: 1st mr2 advice?
Deffo bear that in mind... mines a 3SGE T-Bar so there's no reason to settle for the lower powered one when you can get a proper one for less than 500 notes!

Re: 1st mr2 advice?
I got me a Rev1 N/A which I love to bits... cost me £460. Hardly anything wrong at all and the steering / suspension differences are a matter of opinion if you ask me... love it to bits, best car I've had since my mk1!

Electrical fault fixed!!!
Well I'm pleased to report that my constant battery drain has been fixed! Turned out to be the igniton relay in the engine bay fusebox. Certain I tried pulling that one with a multimeter attached ](*,) Anyway, cost me £34.50 for an autoelectrician to come out to my work, find the fault and fix it......

Re: check this track car on race cars direct
ITBs FTW! I've read somewhere about someone converting an MR2 to have a hydraulic handbrake, what do the supras use for a handbrake mechanism? They use the internal diameter of the hub of the disc as the handbrake. There's basically the same set up as old drum brakes but inside the hub of the disc....

Re: Remote Central Locking
Interesting, as I just looked at my key to see there's a "lock / unlock" button ans a battery inside the key... so I assume mine has remote locking??? Probably just needs a new battery???

Exhaust Bungs
Following on from the noisy exhaust thread... My exhaust is very loud (came with the car) and I feel guilty everytime I fire it up on a morning .
Do bungs quieten it down? do they affect performance?

Re: On going electrical Woes (Rev1 N/A)
Aye 50uA. That's what the multimeter says anyway (Connected between the negative post on the battery and the negative lead that clamps onto the battery). I thought that's next to nothing so must be my battery, off I went for a new one but now it just lasts longer before dying. I'm positive it's char...

On going electrical Woes (Rev1 N/A)
Noon everyone (is that the phrase for 12:00???) I've had trouble with my motor draining it's battery overnight... I've tried the multimeter and pulling fuses technique of trying to find a fault but first it's only draining at 50 micro amps which just doesn't seemto be enough to kill a good battery a...

Re: Yeah yeah I know, another mpg thread
Rev 1 N/A here and I seem to get really good economy. never done the mpg test but I often put about 120 - 140 miles on it over a weekend for roundabout a tenner, £15 if I batter it. At least 80 of those miles are motorway cruising so that's a pretty fair mix. It just seems to run on fresh air once i...

Re: Rear brake calipers / Handbrake (mk2)
Aye I was trying that for a good 5 hours yesterday, the lever is very free now, like I said above, so free I can release it by hand now but the spring just isn't pulling it back, £7 for a new one from toyota dealer though... not too bad

Re: Light snow
My old mk1 was really good in the snow, used to work at the top of this long winding road up and around a couple of quarries, slip off the side and you're going to fall a long long way. I remember everyone taking the p1ss out of me when they heard snow was coming, "you won't get here in your ca...
