(offset = +40mm)

Has anyone used Touren's on your MR2? If so, did you have any problems with them? or dislike them for any reason?

Just to make things clear, I know how coilovers are mounted, but I have seen a couple a days ago this picture:



for which I tought :omg: :slap:

but today I was browsing driftworks forum, and came across this pic in one build thread :



the guy that did that seems to know what he is doing, the whole build is good stuff, and from what I could see he drifts it good...

So the question that imposes on me is:

Bare in mind I understand basics of camber & caster angles, but does this way of mounting it bring any good? does that rly work? or is it just posh?

Shall we all start mounting it like that? :wtf:

Please share your piece of tought ;) :) ]]> MK 2 MR2 da_force http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/Toyota-MR2-47082-coilover-camber-plates-mounting.html Skinniest Tires For 93 Rears http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/Toyota-MR2-47004-skinniest-tires-93-rears.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:30:02 GMT Title says it all, what are the thinnest tires I can run in the rear on stock 7 inch wheels?

I just purchased a minty 1994 Mr2 Turbo from Japan with the Gen3 engine. I'm excited about the car, as i didn't expect it to be so fast out of the box. There is no mods on the car either, just ordered an Apexi Intake and looking for some wheels.

I've found some Work Emotion XD9 for a good price.
The size and offset is as follows:

17x8.5 et32 Front
17x9.5 et38 Back

The car will be on stock suspension, can anybody comment on the fitment? ]]> MK 2 MR2 jdmgen3 http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/Toyota-MR2-47003-new-jdm-gen3-owner-looking-wheels.html rota or rx7 wheels http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/Toyota-MR2-46972-rota-rx7-wheels.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:15:43 GMT like the title says. i'm torn between two sets of wheels. i was offered a set of gen 3 rx7 wheels for 450 ( they come with brand new tires but i wont be using the front tires because i would have to stagger them). Or i was thinking about a set of rota p45r/p45 combo staggered or double staggered. does anybody have any experience with rotas? any info would be great. ]]> MK 2 MR2 Lil_Revolution http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/Toyota-MR2-46972-rota-rx7-wheels.html Brake Kit upgrade http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/Toyota-MR2-46929-brake-kit-upgrade.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:12:30 GMT Has anyone upgraded their brake system with Baer Brakes?

I know this is going to sound crazy to most of you, but I'm hunting for some very used KYB AGX 765015 front strut cartridges. These are for the 91-95 MR2.

I want to cut them up for an experiment, and I just don't have the heart to butcher good ones. So if anyone has a used-up set lying around, I would really like to get my hands on them. I would of course be willing to pay shipping and something for your time. ;)

What I'm going to do with them is cut down the bodies and stems so the whole assembly ends up being approximately 1.5" shorter. I'll first machine the tops off the bodies, and disassemble them. Cut the bodies and the stems/shafts down 1.5" shorter. Then machine and tig weld on a new threaded socket and top so I can get them back together. I'll even put a flush schrader valve in the bottom so I can charge them back up. If what I'm trying to do works, then I'll go ahead and buy a new set to do the same thing to. I'm not after being able to make them re-buildable, just shorter. :)

If something like this turns out to be interesting to others, I would be happy to do a full writeup of my experience, with lots of pictures of course. ;)

Thanks again in advance, and sorry for such a really strange first post. :rolleyes:

What coilover brand/set/etc. is going to be the best for a track car? I know many coilovers are adjustable, but spring rates themselves aren't. I'm looking for whatever coilovers are on the stiffer end of the spring rate spectrum for our cars.

I know EMSpowered has the KW coilovers, but from what I read they aren't the best for a track only car. Does anybody know the spring rates for Megan Racing, Cusco, Tein, Buddy Club, etc. coilovers? ]]> MK 2 MR2 Medusa http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/Toyota-MR2-46747-coilovers.html Seized Transmission Linkage http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/Toyota-MR2-46635-seized-transmission-linkage.html Sat, 31 Oct 2009 04:26:30 GMT Hey, whilst driving on the highway today, I tried shifting into first (gridlock, wanted to merge into next lane) and the transmission wouldn't slot in. After a little wrestling, I got it in second and then couldn't shift out of it (if I moved my shift lever into N or 1, I'd still get 2 and I couldn't move it to 3,4,5,R). I limped the car home and had a look at my linkage.

I recently replaced my shift bushings with steel ABEC bearings like another member did in the mr2 wiki. The bearing seems to be showing excessive play after a couple weeks and leads me to my question:

Is it possible that excess play in these bearings (bushings) would cause the cables to pull at too much of an angle and bind the tranny arms? I can move them smoothly by hand. ]]> MK 2 MR2 Sh0ty http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/Toyota-MR2-46635-seized-transmission-linkage.html Good deal or no http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/Toyota-MR2-46526-good-deal-no.html Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:00:36 GMT Ran across these...

I would need a big favour from somebody who can help me out on this one.

Situation is that I need some new springs on my SW20. TRD's are the ones aim aiming for. The only problem is my geographical position in this world of ours, and my country's stupid laws about customs taxes :wtf: Because of that, the expenses of delivering those springs to my country + the taxes, would come out minimaly doubled, more likely tripled the price.

With that in mind I would like to attempt to fabricate completely new springs, for what I need dimensions of the TRD ones.

This is what I need:



Only note I would like to make is that I would need the euro measure for the spring rates, if it is possible.

So can anyone tell me these dimensions, and accurate spring rates?

Thank you very much!

Best regards and greetings from Zagreb! ]]> MK 2 MR2 da_force http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/Toyota-MR2-46487-sw20-trd-springs-dimensions.html identify these springs http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-mr2/Toyota-MR2-46406-identify-these-springs.html Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:05:30 GMT anyone know what brand these are? came off a mk2 but can't find anything about them
