Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Best bodykit for increasing downforce?

maybe the other driver didn't know the road well or have skill or tyres to keep with a 156bhp mr2 doing triple figures at the apexes? even an mr2 turbo with more power would prob struggle as they weigh more so the apex speed may drop. Please don't drive 100mph round corners on a B road, thanks. :ro...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Best bodykit for increasing downforce?

rev5 speed flaps do help, however you could make some better ones for about half the price. take a walk around you local supermarket carpark this weekend, pay special attention to SUV/Chelsea Tractor front (and rear) wheel speed flaps. they are huge these days! Bigger is better for this device. In m...

you're building a 400+ hp car and don't know how to use a mid engine setup to full effect? spend some money on driver training.. or life insurance.

hahaha leave your dreams somewhere else. there is no DF here. rear spats? hahaha that's a proper cracker right there. nothing off the shelf will help your goal. your best bet is to sort the suspension and weight distribution so that it's more balanced the way you want. so far is sounds too stiff and...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] LSD'S

it's not my diff, on someone else's car. proper staggered setup, stepped up the same amount front and rear, with matching tyres. the diff adds understeer compared to the stock lsd. compared to my daily mk2 it's noticeable. it grips really well and puts the power down very well. using ohlins adjustab...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] gearbox Oil

I used 75w90 cheap stuff as I wasn't sure if the box was good so didn't want to waste good oil if it wasn't robust. It's been fine and smooth, just some cheap local brand stuff, using the stock Toyota Viscus diff also. Will prob upgrade to decent stuff now I know the box is good. I've not tried it w...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] LSD'S

with real world recent experience of the ATB there is a large amount more understeer compare to an open MR2 diff. Unless being daft the open diff mr2 I regularly use has no understeer at all, it's the best part of the car! Powering down a twisty A road the turn-in takes some getting used to, it tend...

whatever you choose, don't get H&R -20mm springs. The fronts are way to stiff for the chassis.

Re: Squeaky Brake sound- Annoying AF

do the callipers have the 4 pad mounting clips and anti-squeal shims behind the pads and the springs to keep the pads apart?

it sounds like the pad is falling over and rubbing on the disc because it's not got some of the above?
