Toyota MR2 Message Board - View Single Post - Low Mileage (40k) Ragtop lookin' for some love

RagtopI · 08-18-2006, 03:10 PM

I am trying to do a few things to my MKI ragtop, to spruce it back up closer to showroom condition...

I'm looking for:
1) a new exhaust manifold,
2) a (passenger's side) seat belt retraction mechanism,
3) a shifter boot/cover
4) a new shifter knob.

I think I can get a stock exhaust manifold, but I would really like to get a ceramic coated one that is suitably sized for my normally aspirated MKI engine.

For the seat belt retractor, I still have the old one, but it only wants to move one way-- tighter and tighter-- it won't seem to relax its grip to spool out the belt... don't know if all MKIs are interchangeable on this or not-- can anyone tell me?

For the shifter boot cover, I would really like to get a leather one, but the ones on Twos R Us seem to only be for MKIIs.

As for the shifter knob, I really don't need a new knob, I just want to replace the leather on the outside of my (penis-shaped) stock knob-- anywhere to get that?
