Re: Mk1b aftermarket steering wheel and boss?

Interesting pick-and-choose safety attitude there, Señor Jamex!
Mine must have been a different make then.

OP - Heard good things about HKB on other cars, I think Driftworks sell them in their shop as well and they're pretty picky about quality.

Re: Mk1b aftermarket steering wheel and boss?

I bought one of the generic ebay ones, quality really wasn't bad and it was very very easy to modify it to get indicators and horn working. I think they're just designed for later toyotas with slightly different self-cancel pins rather than being woefully badly made or anything. Just fitted a 25mm s...

Blue one is mine. Cracking weekend as always, hope you enjoyed yourself!

edit: Wheels on the white one are Lotus Elite alloys with pcd adaptors, looks ace.

Re: LED Rear spolier - ebay.com

If they fitted the look I was after on a project car, and I had the spare coin I would absolutely consider paying that for them. Properly different look and I love niche variations from different markets.

Re: LED Rear spolier - ebay.com

Wow that went downhill fast.

Might be too late to salvage now, but thanks Ollie, I'd not seen a set of those red Kouki lamps before, quality! Would look ace on a black mk1 I reckon.

Steering wheel diameter (mk1b)

Hi folks, looking at aftermarket steering wheels and want one of equal or slightly smaller diameter than stock. Unfortunately I'm not with my mister at the moment so can't run a measuring tape across it. Does anyone know the outside diameter of a standard mk1b steering wheel?
Thanks in advance, Adam.

Not at all mate, I enjoy the difference in responses over the boards, from the more conservative mk1 club lot to the absolute nutters on TB, haha. Long may you chronicle your projects far and wide ;)

Re: Project MRX350

Have to disagree with most of Lauren's points I'm afraid :whistle: I reckon it's the perfect base for it, you're realising your vision of your perfect MR2, I'm pretty sure that doesn't include 20-odd years of rot and plop, so starting with the best one possible is just smart. I suspect you've certai...

Re: Back in the mk1 fold

That's what I did with mine Jon, but the opposite way around (old TPS on to a late TB). I did it with insulated connectors and it's worked flawlessly in the near 4 years since then. If mini insulated females will fit (I know the late TPS pins are tiny), then go for it. Third option of course might b...
