Thanks Kevin i know what youre saying but i forgot to say that i own a bodyshop so cost in labour is n/a and colours are unlimited... so a nice custom style refurb with subtle mods :wink: but don't do this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1988-TOYOTA-MR2-BLUE_W0QQitemZ4621402930QQcategoryZ18290QQrdZ1QQcmdZVie...

As i said in another thread, i bought a new mk1 as my T bar was just too fat for a track day car in my veiw. i want a mk1 thats road legal and stripped light. however my new one i think is too good to strip out to race/track, not to mention the colour! so im after peoples opinions, to see weather im...

but its a free grams from the pulley, which liberates more, same principle as the lightened flywheel

if the z3 looks crap,lol what does a mr2 look like? z3 and tt are quality,ive test drove some and are excellent,just because there out your price range,you dont have to get jealous! not at all. i will safe;y say, i will never buy either. for that kind of money, rather than waste it on a boring germ...

I know about the MR2C. I raced in it in 2004!

Are you trying to teach me to suck eggs?

no sorry, not at all.

didnt mean for it to sound like that, i was just answering Digital's post

mr2 challenge weight limit is 1040kg inbcluding driver bear in mind this has cage as well

well i have decided the T-bar is too heavy.

put a deposit down on MK1A today, so now got to get rid of the T bar. only problem now is the mk1a is in so good condition, it would be a cardinal sin to strip and race it.

had a look under the wifes mota this afternoon and to me it seems as if the middle section of the G reg donar mota wont be as easy as i first fort :cry: Dosent seem as simple or a simple change over , the middle section piping dosnt seem to be routed the same way #-o , Recon il Kwik fit it its givi...

Mine leaks like as sieve! :( But even when it was dry I weighed my car at Donington with 3/4 of a tank. 1160kgs! :shock: Lardy fat thing! And that's with all the Sherman Tank Aircon system removed..... :roll: why is mine 60kg lighter? is that all water :shock: or were you in it. i had mine weighed ...

just weighed mine.

1100kg with 3/4 of a tank of petrol (and a lot of rubbish prob couple of kilos )

thanks for your help!

Is there a weight difference between the T bar and the sunroof model?

and just how big is the differnce in rigidity?

Im after getting my car bhp tested and was wonding if anyone knows of a rolling road near gatwick or kingston upon thames?

Just to add my 2pence. Weight change to the front will effect the balance of the car, eeven if it is a 10KG battery (realistically equates to 20kg tho as removal of 10kg from the back). I know this from racing karts. A lot of the top drivers carry a small amount of extra lead at the front of the kar...

same happened to me, but mine was a biggie. let go at motorway way spped, dumped the entire coolant in about 30 seconds. (big cloud down the m40). and the temp gyage didnt move at all. What happens is water gets in the piston, is superheated and escapes through the weakest point I tried doing it mys...

i lifted one on my own, personally i thought it was a bit ofd a struggle, but it was full of oil and still had the clutch on.

with 2 of you it should be easy

Just a quickie, I'm slowly (long term) getting my mr2 ready ready for the challenge in 2007 or 2008.

I have a load of aftermarket bushings lying around, and im wondering if:

are uprated bushes allowed in the mr2 challenge? cos i dont want to put them on if i just have to take them off again.
