17" Team Dynamics In Need Of Refurb £100

Got this set of Team Dynamics taking up space in the garage. They are 7.5J all round, tyres are 205/40/R17's but would recommend getting them all changed. As you can see from the pics there is some heavy kerb rash on them hence the "in need of refurb". Having said that they're not dented o...

Re: anybody have a link to some decent quality clamps for I/C pipework

hopefully the Mikalor ones will be ok. On a side note, should I be getting boost whilst revving the car when it's stationary? I've recently taken the intercooler pipes and cam cover off to give them a good clean and some fresh paint, I haven't taken the car for a spin since but revving it to 4k whil...

anybody have a link to some decent quality clamps for I/C pipework

As above, I'm away from my car for a few days but ideally want to get some new clips ordered ready for the weekend. Can anyone recommend a decent brand and also the correct size?

Thanks

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Hard to start in mornings

check where the ignition coil mounts to the car, the mounts are actually earthing the coil so make sure all of the contacts are nice and clean. may also be worth taking the dizzy cap off and having a look inside for any sign of water. the n/a engine lid design means that when it rains, the water can...

They're 5X114.3 split rims, staggered fitment, just a label that says 'Monza' and also 'mr2' on the back. I though they were alfa wheels but cant find any info anywhere.

So yeah, anyone know what they are??

In need of two metal sleeves for rear caliper bolts

I really need 2 of the little metal spacers/sleeves that the rear caliper bolts go through on a REV3 NA Uk model. If anyone's got any they're not using, let me know and I'll buy them off you.

Had a nightmare trying to get them from Camskill, ebay, or toyota

So, off came the ind...

Hi all, just picked up a '95 mk2 n/a yesterday. It needs a bit of work doing but I'm hoping to be driving around in it soon :) Its my second mk2,having previously owned a rev5.
