You don't need that bloody geometry kit just for the car to drive nicely on the road.

have you got an alignment sheet? having the wrong toe/camber values especially on the rear of the car can make the car feel terrible through corners.

Other thing could be the power steering running all the time, as it's supposed to turn off after a certain speed iirc.

Did you ever get the alignment specs? also what size tyres are you running.

There aint that many! MX-5 is worse with two sets of suspension arms! :mrgreen: It's pretty straightforward once you start taking bits off. I haven't seen a bush kit for a few years but ones like superpro or powerflex should come with instructions. Just get yer blowtorch out to remove the old ones! ...

So ya don't need any topmounts I'm assuming https://www.fensport.co.uk/products/superpro-polyurethane-suspension-bush-kit-mr2-mk2-rev-2-3 That has pretty much every bush you'd need to replace, you've got the suspension arm bushings. The tierod or tension rod bushings, although you can always just bu...

What about the overheating?

Fair enough, but in the op's case it's not something he has to worry about immediately.

rust in that area isn't an mot failure though?

Mine had rust there but it was relatively inexpensive to get fixed compared to the rest of the bodywork I had done haha.

When he says the arb link is broken he's more than likely talking about these https://mr2-ben.co.uk/products/30 Which are a pain to remove on crusty cars and are a failure point, not a massively expensive part but probably the old one will need to be cut off. The subframe thing is more worrying, I'v...

You don't need the brake shielding The shocks aren't hard to change, nor is the ARB, are you sure the arb is snapped? and its not just the drop links? For the shocks most of price is going to be the shocks themselves. Maybe a bit of time if the droplinks are shagged but thats gonna add a bit on top ...

I mean that was my reasoning, I wanted to use the car with the standard ecu for a while before going with the standalone and bigger injectors and that I was never after massive power

My build used stock compression 86.5mm pistons from CP.

I don't think there are any bad piston brands, or it's never the point of failure on a 3sgte engine build.

I don't remember messing with the clockspring on mine?

Yeah I just don't like the huge angled tip, thats why I prefer something like the RM01A or the Apexi GT lookswise for a single exit. Although I hate the way the Apexi sounds

I have a HKS Hi-Power, in combination with a BRD sports cat and the hks bung static db tests have been around 89db. Without the bung it's a bit higher, but not by much. Honestly having the sports cat instead of a de-cat made a big difference it's pretty civilised sounding at idle compared to most 2'...

I only needed the quick release once I started using a fixed bucket seat. As it seemed to move the wheel away from me, the quick release acted as a spacer and also made it easier to get out of the seat haha. If you've still got reclining seats it's probably fine without, also depending on what sort ...

Personally I prefer the HKB bosses, mine is the older style one though. I do run a driftworks snap off adapter on top of the boss for a spacer and to make it easier to get out of the fixed back seat. https://www.tegiwaimports.com/hkb-steering-wheel-boss-kit-toyota-glanza-ep91-mr2-sw20.html This is a...

Theres pretty much nobody on here to argue with anymore anyway!

Love the timelapse stuff, I wish I had the skills to do all that!
