hellaflush watch! <3

nice :)

SSR Profs aren't as good as Work Meister S1 3Ps, in that the profs aren't modular wheels.

the man speaks truth

haha pwnd hard. i still find it hilaaaarious that none of the boys sporting skittles coloured fibreglass speedboats and big fuck off shiny mods never get done so hard, yet you, mr under the radar with tasteful mods for super hektic trackdays only gets shafted.

ahahahah :down:

exedy single plate button clutches are cheap and will do the job

HDBC HHDBC or HHHDBC

i run an HHHDBC and for the price it's an awesome bit of kit... not the best for a daily driver, but quite livable when you are used to it.

The one I've got now isn't too bad. Absolute killer in peak hour traffic but a good clutch for launching and shit :down:

Wouldn't mind something a bit softer..

How much would one of those clutches cost me? Gotta watch my spending. New gearbox is gonna be $1500+ and I figure I may aswell chuck the new clutch in at the same time.

isn't this your first manual? wear out your existing clutch before you go upgrading. why are you upgrading g/box anyways?

~$700 i spose....

i got mine wholesale but cant get for others :down:

the organic one that krysisisyysisisiu has in his car is lighter and only a few dollars more, but wont hold as much torque... bu i think you'll find that the MR2 wont need more than an HDBC

kris' feels like lead after being used to my stock clutch tho so depends on what u consider light lol

Nah, not my first manual. And my clutch is stuffed. My mechanic said I need a new one and seeing as I'm changing the gearbox it would make sense to do it at the same time.

I'm not really "upgrading" mine. Just getting a replacement. Mine is shagged beyond repair.

Yes I do. Shoot me your email address and I'll send you a copy of my 2009 itinerary (I didn't do so much in my 2010 trip.) Don't bother buying a Japan Rail Pass unless you're crossing Japan, you won't use it enough in Tokyo to make it worth it.

Yeah, it's true. The only other carsy stuff we did in Tokyo outside of Autosalon was Toyota Mega Web and History Museum (the history museum is free and worth it to see some rare cars.) Super Autobacs Tokyo Bay, make sure you visit the upstairs bookshop for rare Japanese sales brochures, manuals, magazines, books and posters on nearly any car you can think of. Nismo Factory, don't bother, you can't really see anything and they have more merchandise on sale at Autosalon.

icic

imho just get an exedy HDBC as they are the cheapest performance clutches worth installing

not the best for daily but good for motorsport aplications. nothing fancy to make it driver freindly... just a button clutch.

will take the power your car will be puting down

nothing special, but finally bought rims for the rolla again......bolt on flares here we come :down:

how much did shipping end up being? Obviously not the initial $1200 quote :)

haha costed me $220 all up with rims

his sending them to a depot in LA where ive got a mate that brings in his stuff from there

and my mate not charging me to ship it here :)

get the button if you want to do track days or drive it hard. i have a HHDB (i think, might be 3 Hs) and when i went to the SAU drag day it was faultless. punished it all day and it didn't complain one bit.

took a bit of getting used to, but now i love it.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
