Re: Toyota 3sge Revision 3 ACIS Spacer Group Buy
Can I ask why this is for rev 3 and later? Would it not fit the rev 1 and 2? not sure about the physical fit but rev3 intakes are different. On top of that I also believe that ACIS = Rev3+ and Rev1-2 = TVIS given this system is designed to 'trick' ACIS, I am not sure whether this would 'work' in th...

For any one else intending to reuse old droplinks... think again
if your taking it to a garage I would 100% take a spare set, your 99% likely to have to use them and can always return/sell them

Thought tubbys were black bilsteins?
If your looking for lower maintenance fun would say n/a, if you like the cars so much you can transfer any susp/cosmetic mods to a turbo at a later date

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Drop links worn after ~1000miles?
Going by your description, if you disconnected the drip links, the ARB wouldn't of been under load. Are you sure the ARB bushes aren't worn? Nah- when i disconnected the droplinks the noise went away :thumleft: Not tried reinstalling yet, i have a feeling that might cure it as the BC links came wit...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Rev 5 ABS, this should not be possible...?
Does the car make the ABS buzzing noise as you start to pull off? It's a difficult noise to describe but very distinctive. If you're not sure maybe try pulling the fuse and see if any noises are absent when you pull off. would have thought the buzzing noise was the power steering pump - although ha...

Re: [FINALIZED] Rare JDM 16" Blitz Type01 Split Rims - MR2 Offsets + Staggered
^ very interesting! I've been very tempted by these wheels but would ideally want them with polished lip and black inners, didn't realise they were welded. Anyway, will watch with interest. Not 'welded' to my knowledge - but in the past they have been painted without being split so that will make t...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Drop links worn after ~1000miles?
Weeping grease isn't the end of the world. I suspect something is slightly amiss if they have gone that quick. Early BC did have front droplink issues, but would usually bend them. The should be no preload from one side to the other. Thanks skywalker - could wear be anything to do with which way th...
