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

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
