Hey,

As with the AE86's, the MK1 MR2's are going up in price in this country.

Now the AW11 was never in any Japanese cartoon shows so the price is still low there.

What im after is a good condition supercharged version.

Ive spotted numerous ones on the yahoo auctions but its no good buying a car on there and finding out the seller cant speak English.

What is your advice? Are there guys out in Japan that will purchase the car for you, pick it up and take it to the docks?

for those who obviously dont know what it says..... the price is random like that cause hes not selling it as a whole car but hes selling parts off of it so he doesnt want you to bid... he already sold the front right fender and the radiator maybe... so imagine the car several parts lighter n happy bidding!

I've bought a Cima Y31 off Japan Yahoo Auctions

as well as about $8,000 worth of stuff!

HKS GT2510's, Apex Power FC, HKS Oil cooler, Project Mu Brake Pads the list goes on, and I have NEVER had a problem my feedback is all SUNS no rainy clouds on my account mate :)

If you can speak half decent japanese and you can find a willing agent in Japan your spare parts supply is set for life! :D

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
