Re: [Mk2] [NA] MK2 Project

Nice little project, but would have to agree with negative comments about sunstrip. Sunstrips are for Corsas. Car would look much better without it :thumleft:

Re: Ferrari replicas? WHY?

I think it's putting the Ferarri badge on that gets to a lot of people. I mean if you want a bodykit that makes your car look more like a Ferarri then fair enough, but badging it up as something it isn't seems a bit silly.

Re: its painted :) :) :) :) :) pics inside :)

Seats look really nice mate. Looks like they have made a really good job. You see so many seats that have been redone in leather where the leather is so loose it looks rubbish.

Re: Wheel options

To be honest I think the wheels that are currently fitted look the best out of the three.

Re: Couldn't open my doors this morning because of the ice..

Yeah, I had the same problem. Managed to get the passenger side door open, start the car from there, get the heaters on, and eventually pushed the drivers side door open from the inside. Took a while to get it to open though.

Re: Anyone know anything about this car?

Looks a really nice example. Lots of paperwork. Low miles. Good mods carried out by a respectable garage and the best colour (in my opinion). Wouldn't let the number of owners put you off. A lot of people buy jap performance cars because of their low price and then realise they can't afford to run t...

Re: Worst replica ever?!

Hmmm "full replica kit". If he's trying to make a replica of an MR2 then he's done very well, but it sure doesn't look like a Ferrari.

Re: im seriously thinking about breaking my car after mot today:(

If you want rid of the car then please sell it, don't break it. So many good MR2's getting broken these days. I would have thought members of an owners club would be the least likely to break a car, and be wanting to keep as many of the cars on the road a possible. Hope you decide to keep the car an...

Re: Cleaning NA engine lid

Thanks for the ideas :thumleft:

In the end I wrapped a surface cloth around an old toothbrush, and used that with car shampoo.

Worked a treat :D

Re: Cleaning NA engine lid

Have always preferred the tubby engine lids, but the chances of getting a carribean blue one are probably slim, and I don't really want to be getting things sprayed at the moment. Alloy wheel brush doesn't sound like a bad idea; should be able to get at the muck a bit better with that. Stupid bloody...

Cleaning NA engine lid

My engine lid has become filthy due to seed buds dropping out a tree and falling thoroug the gaps, marking the tray underneath. Anyone have any tips on how to properly clean this part of the engine lid, as pouring water through doesn't seem to be having much of an effect and I can't squeeze a spunge...

Re: sell break or fix.....

Seems a shame to break a good car that just needs a few things doing to get it through the MOT. I would probably get the things done, then sell it with a full 12 months MOT. I know prices are not great at the moment, but you should definitely walk away with a good bit more cash than the 200-300 it's...

Re: power stearing ??

I know you say you've had cars with no power steering before, but if they were small hatchbacks then there's a hell of a difference. My old fiesta didn't have power steering and to be honest it didn't need it, but with a big heavy car like an MR2 with wide tyres you really do need it when parking / ...
