Was it a business or an individual you bought it from? If its a business you may have protection under s14 of sale of goods act 88. If its a person then you have no real protection as to the quality of the engine. My own personal non legal non binding advice would be to make a firm telephone call to...

Yeah! Good thread lol

Bilsteins and eibach pro kit all the way for what you want the car for. B8 bilsteins are impeccable and faultless for everything from daily driving to backroad fun.

Halfords paint is overpriced crap with duff nozzles! Google auto paint at Helen's - they sorted us out with some brilliant cans.

And yeah loads of alcohol - really helps the smoothness of spraying and team morale!

Cheers! Well here goes a brief summary. You probably all know the steps though:- 1. Repair/Prep - helps that my best mate is a panel beater but either prep the old paint to 400grit and check it doesn't react using a test patch or, if it does react, remove the old paint with 80grit and work back up 1...

I would defo measure it to be sure as my rev1 had an 83mm front engine mount although it may have been changed when the car was converted. The subframe mount is the same size across revisions. Also I've fitted the speedsource (red) mounts and they are brilliant - none of the drawbacks that you hear ...

Polished up the quarters, roof and bootlid... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t9/vishpish/300105B4-EB0E-4B7A-9EB1-D5E12199C703-209-00000011351C1860_zps2c86fd10.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t9/vishpish/3839EB75-AF1F-4932-96A1-553D27EFB3E2-209-0000001145DEFB6F_zps1ab64368.jpg http://i156....

seriously man just stick standard wheels on there's a reason why mr's shouldn't run 200sx non staggered wheels

Might be my low's but they definitely do not fit the front of my car cleanly without touching the suspension strut. They are all 8" wide. As said I'm running S-Tech's.

Reason I know is that I had a slow puncture on my normal wheels and tried to fit one on the front which just didnt happen.

Sorry to hear. good luck finding the dicks

I wouldn't just because they won't fit on the front without spacers as they hit the strut (or at least did on mine with tein s techs). They fit the back like so (unspaced and that was when the car was properly low at the back):

Awesome build! Brakes look epic...I need some! Are they expensive over just getting minted pads ie Carbotechs etc?

Also put in a request to your Edinburgh mr2 facebook group following on from your mention over on the spotted page like 3 months ago.

Still can't believe I haven't seen you about!

Had the chance at last to get some free time during daylight! Gave the car a thorough was, winter has really taken its toll. Cleaned up lovely and had a wee drive out with the missus for tea. It definitely is a 'special', feeling car, it's the everyday commuting that's spoiling it in a way. Trip ou...

Did have the bung in but yeah they love it lol

i recently had to daily drive the mr2 lol and started it before i went for a shower/breakfast and 20 mins later it was awesomly warm - so just start it in advance and you'll be fine!

Had a wee look at your build mate - that is one stunning cosmos blue rev5. If your ever about Glasgow we tend to go for photoshoots now and again - rare to see such an unmolested example so defo give us a shout. Unfortunately mine is far from clean but it drives well and thats really all I'm concern...

Yeah mate - seen a nice dark blue rev3 today on the way into work.

best bet is just to jack the car up and give the suspension arms/droplinks a good pull and you'll soon see what is worn/knocking.

my money would be on droplinks.

enkei's and desmond regamasters are 8mm - i needed to buy these online as no tyre place had them.

wonder if they're all the same?! maybe if you have someone close with the above wheels, you could compare em?

Clean car. Get it lowered first though would finish it off nicely imho!
