I think daryl should have a go fitting it and me and john supervise on this IC fitting :wink:

Daryl i would still go down a bit futher mate to 1 bar 14.5 psi even the extra 1 psi will greatly increase the heatsoak problem on your car....... Don't want you blowing yet another Knock Sensor. lol

I figured this would be the best place to ask, since you're all from the Cov area. i moved here recently (from Canada) and i need to know the good places to go with an MR2. my 2 is actually in the shop for brakes (under warranty) but (because they warped my brakes) i'd like to know where the best place is to get things done.

i'd do some myself, but don't have space or tools here. i'm hoping to change my wings, and it will involve running an extension cord out a first-floor window to the drive for a borrowed dremel...

so if you needed work done, even though it sounds like you do most yourselves, where would you go in the area.

i live in cov and work in halesowen, so anywhere in between is ok, really.

i thought they were just a parts supplier, and my 2 is a mk1, so i don't think they have anything for me. i really need labour more than parts. anyone on here want 50 quid and a case of beer for an afternoon of help changing some wings?

this isn't from an impact either. pretty impressive.....

i just bought the car about 3 months ago, but i can't believe this passed MOT last january. it couldn't get this bad in only a year.....

luckily, it's really the only problem with the car. rear arches are fine.
