MR2 - Project homosensual Bar!

too many nob and gash references for my liking in this thread...

You want a small knob rich the standard one will be perfect or a trd if you pay the extra.

Trds were like £40 plus postage, not paying that much. I went for the black one.

It'll do. on the hunt for wheels, and then its sorted................for a while.

as said 16" in my garage with decent tread on the tyres and I have the wheel nuts for them aswell...

Id rather keep the tsw's than put your 16's on it

Just stick some standards on rich. Some apex 30mm springs and yellow stuff pads. Unless your will to pay carbotech prices. Oh and a piper air filter and manifold back exhaust

Job done

Not paying carbotech prices because its not going to be used on track, just doing standard brakes for now, may change them before llandow.

Ive got a set on ebay im watching, and offered the guy on imoc for his.

Im going to give it a good service before llandow too.

Lowering and exhaust stuff wil be purchases for next year. Along with the next track car.

The gearstick no longer goes up and down or spins around.

Going to bid on some standard wheels and just waiting on the boss for my steering wheel.

Brakes will be changed tomorrow

Annoying whine has gone, was the silly rear speakers being wired in.

And because I went on a private road I found out the car isnt limited to 112mph. SO Woz has the slowest Mr2

Local motor factors I used to work for.

I now have a set of standard wheels. Now to work out why I picked a set 180 miles and about 3 hours away!

lmao how much were they?

£80.

Any tyres with them?

Turbo engine lid here mate

Need the clutch, brakes and rad first mate, cosmetics are coming later.

Was hopping I would of been outbid on the wheels.

Oh yeh ill look for that slider tomorrow.

My new sticker arrived today, you'll all love it, especially Woz and Chris.

That will be a mincer sticker then?

Maybe..........

thats a yes isn't it rich?...

All will be revealed tomorrow

we know...

Right solved the mr2 dash lights problem

This is what it looked like for a while, reminded me of the saxo...

lol going to tell us what you did?

Changed the bulbs, it had rubbish leds in.
Some 501's in now and I can see at night

Its fun in the snow, just pulled off the dual carridgeway after picking up parents shopping, then as I was coming off the police were sat in a defender.

I went past them rather sideways

Taking the dash out is easy...

Putting it back together is hard, especialy when there is a masive tracker in the way which is the size of a house.

Yeah i forgot one bit of trim lol.
Its now living in the footwell.

Couldnt do the steering wheel as the screw has rounded off

Its broken.

Caliper Stu and I had to replace the bolts on decided to shear the bolts on the way to my sisters wedding. So I paid the stupidly expensive price to the recovery man to get it off the dual carridgeway. £94 to go 100 yards

I need to get it home and see whats broken exactly. yay!

Anyone want a saxo? has an engine, but needs suspension.

Ffs so the bolts "stu" touched broke...

It was either put them in or stick cross threaded ones back in!

Ahh that sucks

Stupid japcrap...

EDIT - ^For that comment you can test the new report spammy thing

Gutted mate, always something that needs doing on a car under new ownership!

What it sound's like is the Tap i put into the Hub has pulled out. Gutted

*sniggers*

Its now been recovered, will know how bad the damage is once Launch Motorsport have a look at it. Will be sorted for llandow.

Bad luck Rich!

Radiator £158.05 + 2 hours labour £98

Standard clutch £79.46 + 6 hours labour £294

OUCH!!!

Ouch indeed!

Thats not even including any suspension work as the brakes need sorting before they can examine it.

Oooft that's a kick in the gentlemens area :/

It would be a DIY job if I was you

Im saying nothing.... Its looking like its going that way. saxo needs to go now so I can have my jack and stands back.
If I can get the brakes sorted then it will last till I can pay someone to do the other bits.

Get stu to hit it with his magic hammer

Some of those prices are a bit suspect I would say? £158 for a rad, I got my uprated 52mm aluminium rad delivered for that price!

Are those really the prices for calipers to? I got a quote for lude rear calipers the other day at £65 each after the £30 rebate for bringing in the old one?

And as far as the labour that's quite expensive. I would find someone else!

MR2 Calipers are notoriously expensive, the rad is a huge copper and brass one, £158 is about right retail tbh!

Labour rate is a bargain, but then we charge £105 an hour

Yeah it's a bargain compared to stealerships!!!

I knew of plenty of good garages in Exeter charging £25-£30 labour an hour!

Rad

Have you tried Brakes International? They seem to be quite good generally for brake parts?
