Re: [FINALIZED] TOYOTA MR2 10TH ANNIVERSARY T-BAR 1996 P **NOW ON EBAY**

You might benefit by adding pictures to your advert, were the sills replaced with steel or just glassed up? I love the anni edition but unfortunately am not in the market at the moment, just adding a comment that I think a lot of potential buyer would need to know. Slightly optomistic on price in my...

Re: Just for the fun of it..

Cool running??

After a spirited run yesterday my car is running cold so I suspect the thermostat is stuck open... Can anyone advise where the thermostat is and how to change it out, what is the recomended replacement?

Thanks

Re: Fast Road Geometry Settings

Caster is not adjustable on the rev 5 or is it? It was OK anyhow at NS 3.47 OS 3.24. Both Green and within the tollerances they had listed of 2.28-3.58 Thrust angle went from -0.12 to -0.02 I/m not sure what this should be as it's grey on the sheet and no arrow showing within tollerances and no toll...

Re: Fast Road Geometry Settings

Thanks guys, car is just lowered on standard shocks and now on 17's so adjustment is very limited, I think stock may well be the way to go to start, going for a run tomorrow so will see where I want/need to go from there ;)

Thanks!

Fast Road Geometry Settings

Hi Folks, I have my car booked in for a 4 wheel geo tomorrow morning and looking for some settings to have it set up to. I've had a route about on here and another MR2 forum and not found anything conclusive on this. I can find race car setting and folk saying it's a personal thing, which I know it ...

Re: Favourite Wheels Options

BBS are a great looking wheel but need a deeper dish on the rear to work in my view ;) I currently have staggered Enkei's but I think again the lip on the rim seems the same front to rear :( Mine are 8 and 9" wide I believe, 17" with 215 40 17 front and 245 40 17 on the rear. my car is low...

Re: EBC RED Stuff

Possibly, either way my question above about experiences of using redstuff (latest ceramic compound) remains unanswered, I can only guess no one on here uses them or has anything to state about them if they do :(

Re: EBC RED Stuff

Not for my road use as I have had brake fade on them, which is why I'm looking for something that will take a bit more of a beating when the mood arises, albeit not often but brake fade can be plain dangerous lol

Hi guys and galls, Just a quicky, I'm looking to replace my front pads at the moment and don't want to spend fortunes. I wondered if anyone has tried the latest EBC Red Stuff pads?
