Hi and welcome to the club mate :thumleft:

First mod for me would be to lose those orange front lights and swap then for some crystals or even better smoked crystals \:D/

Nice wheels btw 8)

welcome to the Forum

Nice to see another Black Mr2, as far as I am aware the indicator fitments on the border bumper are the same as the standard. I am only 90% sure so dont take my word as gospel!!

nice motor to mate ;)
Fast isnt good enough, scary is acceptable. Terrifying preffered!!

:mrgreen: hi and cheers for the replies. cheers 2Crooky for telling me what the name of the rim type was 8)

i didnt like the advans at 1st (dont know why) and i said to a couple mates i was thinkin about gettin new rims and they said theyd beat me with really big sticks if i got different rims :lol: but now i love em! makes it look really jap street racer like i reckon, just needs some attention to the suspension i.e. DECKIN on coilys and also i need to find out why it wants to kill me every now and again....

i beans it and get to about 80 and if it hits the slightest bump in the road the lil bu88er will try to start fish tailing!! :shock:

also if i overtake someone - happens quite a lot - i go to pull in after overtaking and it keeps pulling to the left and it could turn out to be quite detrimental to my health if i dont get it sorted asap

im hoping this isnt normal behaviour for mr2's. reckon it could be the rear bushes or the droplinks?? its pretty bloody hairy i can tell thee! :neutral:

cheers

Droplinks will normally rattle around a bit, which will give you an idea. The best thing to go and do would be to get a proper 4 wheel laser alignment done, and make sure all of the wheels are pointing in roughly the right direction - then go on from there.

oh, and could be a fair amount of different things - worn bushes, wheel bearing, ball joint etc - but the alignment is a good point to start at.

I'm in Somerset ooo-arr ooo-arr, where we drinks cider and get wrecked! :D

Obviously I don't do that though :whistle:

I'll get the alignment checked out first and if that doesn't stop it trying to kill me I'll have to get it up on the ramp and have a look. Good reason to get coilovers if the suspension is "broken"

"Honey, my suspension is broken and I need to spend £700 on coilovers......" :mrgreen:
