So Interior - Done (for now) Brakes - Done Handling - much better (not quite done) Bodywork - NEXT Now came the time to decide what to do with the exterior looks of the car, after much googling and looking at other peoples cars i decided to go for a full border kit. I got the bank card out and got b...

Interior looking a little more updated i started on the suspension and brakes. In went a set of rebuildable struts with Koni Adjustable inserts and lowering springs, new drop links and sway bars. Brakes taken off and reconditioned by Big Red Brakes, Hel braided lines, EBC greenstuff pads and EBC gro...

Well....update time :lol: So i've had the car a while now and since picking it up can say that its a little different to how it was lol. I've pretty much done everything myself so far and not being a mechanic or body shop guru am pretty pleased so far. Anyway lets begin Here she is all washed and wa...

I'll pop down too as only a 40 min stint down the M5 and seeing as there is a good turn out

Spent the morning fitting the callipers and pads today, they went on as easy (cough cough) as they came off lol Look great and its nice knowing that the brakes are all sorted! Just got to keep it all clean now :? http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s427/ajextreme2/6916170d.jpg http://i1051.photobuck...

An update to those still interested in what i'm doing and in my choice to use Big Red - A parcel arrived today (posted free of charge) and inside i found http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s427/ajextreme2/1e77f5c1.jpg They look pretty good, in fact i'd say better than brand new, had the callipers r...

Other manufacturers get the rear brake lines right, I don't get why HEL are still selling brake lines with no way of securely attaching them. It's well documented on here that HEL lines don't include the mounting bracket. Goodridge and others do! Also, isn't the nut on your hard brake line still f*...

Hmm looks good, was along the lines of what i was thinking off, just need to dig through the spare bits box, cheers Anyway quick update: Went to collect the callipers today from Big Red and they were not ready, got all the way there, the sun was out which meant i could spend the day getting them fit...

I did mine just the other day, get a roll of foil. Wrap anything electrical and the tin foil wraps round nice and tight! Then spray with whatever you have brought, scrub away and rinse with the hose on mist setting so not too put to much pressure on the foiled parts. Run the engine for a few minutes...

Peter i'm gonna bleed them on Mon and see if i get any leaks, if not will leave be for now as i've got a few other jobs i need doing first but yes i agree new lines will need to go on. I recall a forum member saying you sold Poly-bush kits as i'm looking to do mine in the next few weeks (one of the ...

And on a plus note i pick up my new callipers Mon, all rebuilt and painted ready to go on with a fresh set of Greenstuff's Whilst i was working away today in the carpark (i live in/run a pub) a red Rev1 turbo pulled up and we got chatting, ended up going for a spin in his car with the roof off.....l...

Well a quick update Thanks again for all the suggestions, i didn't try last weekend as the weather was awful and i'm in no rush, so today the sun is out and time to crack on This is the state of the nut in question http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s427/ajextreme2/ee75045e.jpg It had been doused i...

Not sure if your a member on here but cheers for the chat and a quick spin in your red rev1 turbo.

Was working on the brake lines......STILL.....when an MR2 pulled onto the car park where i live, got chatting and ended up having a blast down the road!

Thanks for the replies I think I'll get the torch on them in the morn and see if they will budge, failing that will leave them fitted until the calipers are back on and bled then take the car down to my local mr2 specialist, a very good one that's best not mentioned :o) and get the pipe cut and re-f...

What a pain Why does one job always lead to 10 more lol. Part of owning an MR2 I guess, i did think about gettin the torch out and getting some heat into the nut? Anyone think that might give results? I really don't want to start replacing the whole brake line as I can see that being alot of work fo...

I've got a problem and could do with a cost effective option :lol: I've just removed all 4 brake callipers and dropped them down to Big Red Brakes to get refurbed as MOT man said to get them looked at due to binding etc usual MR2 brake issues. Whilst they are down there and the system drained of flu...
