handling & power > autosalon fagging

It's already fast enough with the GEN3 engine and current power mods. I might raise the boost later down the track but for now I'm very happy.

Handling wise, again it's pretty damn good (in stock form, mind you) but I am doing a few upgrades.

So far I have bought BC Coilovers, Cusco front/rear strut braces and I guess my lighter wheels and decent tyres count as handling mods too (or braking more-so).

Future plans include sway bars and a few other small things.

I'm not "autosalon fagging". The Recaros are for holding me in my seat through fast corners. If I wanted new seats for cosmetic reasons I would get my mate to retrim them for cheap.

I'm taking my car to Haunted Hills later this year so all these mods are for a reason :)

I've never seen an MR2 come with bucket seats from factory. Not even the late models. I don't doubt you though.

Here is a 1998 interior. These seats look a little bit more bucket-like than mine, but it could just be the angle.

The only differences I've seen are leather or suede trim upgrades.

Surely you wouldn't classify them as buckets?

^^^ those look like celica seats.

the late model MR2 GT-S (post 96... think that's a S3) came with some sweet optional leather buckets that cuddled your nuts better than a puertorican whore.

I <3 the GTR seats plenty of bucket for a daily!, although from the feel of them they wouldn't be very comfortable for a larger gentleman as they are pretty narrow and firm.

You should buy Aarons r34 gtr seats jezza :)

you're also a massive homo, so I guess that kinda splains it.

alex, I bought a boser metal extension for the hood this weekend. $500 delivered from the US :)

next paycheck = respray and panel work. also need to figure out how to pop the boot.... like any good pornstar, teh golf is havin her back door shaved.

thats steep but cheaper than custom, plus its like unique +10 baller points to you sir.

yes... i am gonna leave the line on the teks for a while....

oks i knew a guy sellin a pair ill keep an eye out for ya man

R32 gtr seats are the most hugging. But they still suck because they don't have thigh support so you still slide around. Still want that bride gias low max mmm

yea

r32 gtr seats are sweet

being a big boy, i was always worried my ass wouldnt fit in them

but when i went to take pics of jamies r32, i jumped in and fit, nice and snug

happiest day of my life

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
