Mk1's for tall people
Is there anything to be done for tall people driving a mk1,
I'm fine myself but my 6"5 mate is wanting one and struggles in mine, headroom is okish but its legroom thats a struggle, he has a bucket seat that he could weld in.
.
Could room be gained by putting a bucket seat in??

Re: Exhaust problems!!
Right I'll get the flexi changed once I get paid! 
In the meantime wrapping the flexi in heat wrap should help it shouldn't it? I use the car daily and the noise is driving me crackers!!

Bike exhaust..
Anyone put a bike exhaust on there mr2?? I'm thinking of making one up just a straight through pipe with a bike exhaust on it.
I don't have to worry about emissions or anything!

Re: Ticking noise while accelerating
Think it may be down to the exhaust... Had a reach undereath and could feel the flexi pipe blowing and also the joint to where the manifold meets the exhaust... Not sure how as I've just put knew gasket rings on and sealed it with putty! Would it be worth wrapping heat wrap around the flexi pipe?? O...

Ticking noise while accelerating
I've heard this ticking noise while accelerating for a while now and it's really doing my head in! It's seems to either go or I can't hear it after 4k... I thought it was the exhaust at first as it was blowing as one off the manifold to exhaust studs had snapped! I got the stud changed which has mad...

Re: Suspension and engine compression
I'll swap over the top mounts and get them fitted soon then! I did another compression test, 170-150-170-170 so just the one down, it improved by 10 psi when I dropped some oil in there. Dunno if this could be related at all but the cylinder where the compression is down the spark plug was very hard...
