19 x 9 +20 r 19 x 10 +25

think these are a better option though

19 x 9" +37 f

19 x 10" +34 r

lolwut? those are hella xenon modules, one for low and one for high, $130 a set, so $260 for the lights. surely someone makes fibreglass copies of the housing?

The modules aren't the pricey bit. The 'low rise' kit is where the money is. Only 2 companies that sell them. One in the UK and one in the US. They're around $800 with the modules and slightly cheaper without.

no... 1.5 is for a brown person :banana:

no, brown people take the same time as bleck people, but they'll try and negotiate a twofer while robbing you.

low rise kit? if it's anything like the 180sx it's just a simple control circuit wired in line with the motor signal. costs $15 max for a 180sx. mr2 can't be that much more complicated?

fucked if I know. sif drive an oz spec altezza anyways.

If it was easy I'm sure everyone would be doing it. I've never heard of any other way except buying the actual kit.

If you can find a cheaper alternative I'm sure you could make quite a bit of money from the MR2 community :banana:

Btw - where to get a decent 10mm spacer? I'm sick of my rears being tucked in. Time to take Hamish's advice from when I bought the wheels :banana:

This is all I can find after a small fleabay search..

altezza is a is200 phag.

altezza is an IS200,IS250,IS300,IS350 etc. It's a model... ie Altezza = IS

just cos toyota decided to call it that in japan last year doesn't mean people don't call it that still. ya cock smoker.

dunno where you're gonna get 10mm hubcentrics but justjap carry a decent bunch...

start at 15mm though... but then again, your front is slightly mexican anyways, so it should even it up... roll guards, stretch tyres and slam and you're a winnar.

Thanks heaps man. MR2s are 114.3 but I'm sure you knew that :D

My fronts are poking out 6mm

My rears are sunk by 3mm

So with a 15mm spacer I'll have..

Fronts: 6mm poke

Rears: 12mm poke

That's alot haha. I guess it wouldn't be bad if I got the rears flared a bit.

if he lowers it.

from the pics it looked a lot more than 6mm poke in the front. drop a vertical string from the most out part of the guard and then measure out from that.

yeah jizzy, that's the link I had saved for my golf (5x100) but then I decided to get custom wheels instead of going with spacers.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
