Re: [Mk2] [NA] mr2 rev 3 n/a engine miss/rattle

Have you undone anything or removed/ replaced anything in the engine bay recently? Also check your plugs, wouldn't hurt even if it's a long shot. My car was misfiring in cylinder 3 all of a sudden, checked it, has small amount of water in the grommet (was a rainy night!), cleaned it and the misfirin...

Re: Left rear calliper sticking

Hi mate, I had a rear caliper seize on me 2 weeks ago. I was in a similar situation and for £50-£60, it was far easier to just get a new caliper. if money isn't a massive issue its an easy solution

Would be nice to see a few MR2's down there as i rarely see any others at car meets! Seem to be becoming a rare breed!

[Mk2] [NA] HSD COILOVERS fitted, Front springs jumping every turn of the wheel???

Hi, installed HSD coil-overs a few weeks back and have noticed the car makes an awful "tong, katong" sound when the car turns (excuse the sound attempt). Also seen that the springs jump back down when turning. Need some advice as everyone I've asked have been stumped and want the car to be...

Hey buddy, must be in the same boat! i bought my HSD coilovers a few days ago and just fitted the last one but didn't get round to finishing it off as it got dark! Fitment in both the rear brackets is very tight, we spent over 2 hours trying to wriggle and get the fitment to work. In the end we got ...
