Some new bits to the MR2....

Post by nicko_12345 »

First off i could not take the standard radio/speakers anymore so i have replaced them all :)

Head unit has being replaced with a alpine X100 running my 160gb ipod classic:

I replaced the fornt speakers and the rear speakers with Focal speakers ( cannot remember the model number though :(

Then i went about fitting my sub and amp, space is a problem in the mr2 so i found a rockford forsgate sub and box made for a drop top that happened to fit behind the passage seat like a glove and i cannot believe how much it kick! Very impressed with it :) Paired this with a fairly powerful pioneer amp and the seem to work very well together:

I also fitted a carbon heater dial surround and new ashtray - very common to split on the mr2's:

Then i sorted out my wheels and rubber:

The wheels are azev c in 17 x 8j, i have put new rubber on them to, they came with falken 452 when i first got the wheels so i replaced them with the same as i found them really good, put 215/40/17 on the front and 235/40/17 on the rear....

Next week i will be fully machine polishing the car so expect and nice thread with lots of pics soon to :)

Let me no what you think...

Thanks
