Woo, my boss is lending me his spare car so I can take my MR2 off the road for a while.

Time to get it all fixed up!

Also considering some nice Bride seats as a birthday present to myself.

Like this:

Lol Jeremy we met the guy that bought your old mr2. Nerdy looking bald guy haha

He didn't buy it for himself :) He actually owns an RX7 with the plates "RTUNE". It's insane.

Lol $1200 for a copy seat... Ripoff. I'm still considering getting the copy gias low max for $650

They're not copies. Genuine BRIDE dude.

Did you misread the word "cuga" as "copy"? :P

No but how do you know it's original? Cuz a guy says so? Imported from USA? They aren't made there lol. It's fake

Good point.

Have just sent him a question asking if he can provide proof that they're genuine (with a receipt or something).

I know when I've bought some items they come with a certificate of authenticity.

Turns out you were right Kris :P As soon as I asked the seller if they were genuine he changed the ad to "Bride STYLE seats" haha.

Ah well...

Got a mate with genuine Recaros in Sydney who's selling. $1200 or $1350 with SW20 rails. Only problem is one small cigarette burn.

I'd probably retrim them though as I don't like the fabric design.

Just sent him an email seeing if he'd do them any cheaper for me :P

man i wanna see paul hogan go crocodile dundee on the ATO!

like he hasn't pulled in HUGE amounts to our economy already!

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
