Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Any experience of D2 Coilovers?

Helped my mate fit a set to his EVO they look really nice, the cars been getting rebuilt in his workshop over the past year, so in dry storage ... but i've started to spot rust on the camber bolts despite them having never seen water, must just not like any moisture in the air at all.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Cylinder Head Replacement? How Hard

Hi guys and gals, i'm going to be tackling the cylinder head on my Rev1 Tubby soon, i've tracked down a rev2 head finally. I've not changed the head on one of these before so i'm just looking for some best practices advice!? I'll probably not do the timing or if i do i'll get it checked by someone w...

Yeah but they ain't much of an upgrade, they are still 2 pots, just slight bigger pistons IIRC?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Brake conversion (your toughts on my idea please)

Chaps, I have Celica GT4 WRC callipers on the front of my car with Lexus 313mm discs and have done quite a few track days with them, they never ever fade (apart from the last day where I ran out of pad and caught fire!) but the balance is all over the place, worse than that is the pedal movement ha...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] traction control

i had it on my tubby (still have the bits from it lol)

i thought it was a clever system, would help kill off oversteer but didnt interfere too much for driving. plus you could switch it off :D

Re: Electric Supercharger

yeah stick that in your inlet track somewhere, watch it over spin as the engine sucks loads of air through it ... the bearing will quickly collapse and the remains of the thing will be sucked into cylinders 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 and nuke your engine.

Job done . . . quite literally!

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] am i missing something here?? blitz access on ebay

probably just like a "chipped" upgrade because nobody seems to be able to do owt with them! probably just advances the timing a little and runs a little bit lean over stock, gives some gains, increases chance of knock. I seen the buy it now price, but you can bet it ain't gonna sell for th...

Re: Some new additions

it doesn't feel too big, but it is lairy on a backroad, the MR2 would outhandle it no issues right now.

its 5X114.3 same as the MR2 MK2, but the 4 pots cause lots of issues with wheel clearance :(

Seen wheels i like just need the money now

Re: Some new additions

no mate i didn't buy another MR2, i was toying with selling mine, ok i didn't think it would end like this but buying another wasn't going to be the answer. I bought this to replace my beloved little MR2 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/AstraSpeed/200SX/sx1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/album...
