Re: HIDS for the 2

I can confirm that you need H4 bixenon HID bulbs for Mk2 MR2. I fitted the Ultimate Pro kit from HIDS4U. They are a UK based company in Southampton and they offer 2 year warranty on the bulbs and ballasts. If your original H4 bulbs are set at the right level, the HID bulbs are a direct replacement a...

So I,ve settled for a reconditioned one from camskill (at £99 + £50 surcharge until I return the knackered one). Now the big task of fitting it-taking ...

Re: Rear brake pads and disks on my rev 2

Thanks for all the info-so all I need to do is just release the handbrake. Thanks. I have read all the forums on winding back the pistons by 180 degrees but can anyone advise on how best to get off a seized rear caliper? I've started a new thread here- http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11...

Re: Seized Rear Brake callipers

Thanks for the info- I have checked ebay. Unfortunately both are passenger side calipers and mine's the offside one. I will possibly buy one from Brakes International.

Is it OK to replace just one brake caliper? :?
