Power steering is gay. If I had it, you could take it. But I don't :)

MR2 powersteering is used on track car builds cos it's full electric. plus it's bang for buck better than a lot of aftermarket units. pretty easy to control on and off etc via in switch cabin. Turn it off to conserve power, turn it on for quick maneuvering (ie, drifting/racing).

road going MR2's couldn't care less, but when you remove the power steering pump and all that shit off an RB/SR/1J/2J there's a substantial improvement in engine power. Then bolt on electrical MR2 pump and instant partytime. Weight loss + response is awesome. lotta Mazda/VW/Datsun/Nissan/Toyota guys do the mod.

Reason you don't have powersteering in your car is cos it was a very expensive option, and a lotta peasant spec owners didn't choose it when they ordered the MR2. The reason it's electric is cos your engine's in the back, and your driving wheels are in the front. It's cheap for us from factory cos everything's in the front. Make sense?

lol I had 3 very long cracks through my dash after parking it in the heat one summer.. bitch to swap over :\ I recommend not pushing your luck with that..

those louvre things are cool but what the fu..gly colour...

justjap have aircon vents, not sure if they still have stock but for the time u spend looking for them and find nothing, might as well spend the $100odd and buy them brand new

R-Spec: just go for a drive, bound to find some right behind you within minutes

haha its been going strong for 5yrs. Bring it on 2011 summer!

Does a rear strut brace on an r33 make a noticeable difference? I was pleasantly surprised when I put the front brace on the car but I'm yet to put a rear on. Any opinions?

dunno, i know on r32 suspension they do shit fk all. (as expressed by sydneykid)

Yeah, i noticed an impressive difference with the front strut brace on. Just not sure about the rear one given i've seen some posts from SydneyKid which states they do absolutely nothing.

So you noticed a difference with the rear brace Grant? Can you give some details?

went to pick up a little dough mixer in my car today, at the lights, cop pulls up next to me

im thinking, oh f**k my life. (i had a paper from the boss so i was all good, just hoping they wont pull me over and defect me for the tee and the tt)

so.. i cant resist the temptation and look to my right to see if their looking, whattdya know, their looking.

crack a sheepish smile and get a nod back. that was it..

Yeah, my old gtst came with rear brace not front for some reason, when I removed it it felt sloppy around corners, with that in place felt much better, then along came front brace. That was with standard suspension btw.

You think a letter from your boss supersedes the law?

You really are a douchebag

vicroads website says im automatically exempted if a letter is written by my boss bla bla with business hours, telephone numbers and shit when i drive the car for work

have to keep it on you at all times, and of course no ridiculous hours like 9-1am etc i got 7am-5pm thats when i go to and from work, after that its cruising like a hard kent in the territory lol

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
