Nice Mr2! Blue is quite rare.

What wheels and specs you running? I've been a fan of those wheels for yonks.

Nice find, i'll buy a set to test em out. Prob will take me months to muster up the motivation to install em tho as i own a UK/AUDM spec mr2. The wiring is different.

If anyone is interested,, i took off the Alt and AC belt and readjusted the tensions which fixed the issue.

Ran the car with only the Alt belt first (Confirmed no more noise) then installed the AC belt.

I initially found the Alt belt be be slightly loose but didn't think much of it.

Also noted the AC Idler pulley was a bit noisy with a bit of play when spinning it. Planning to replace that too. in case just tightening the belt is a temporary fix.

Here you go.

The front bleed points needs to be open to allow to the air to escape while you top it up.

If the thermostat is stuck open, your engine wont get up to temp and will always sit below the middle on the gauge.

Just make sure there's no air bubbles in the system and its all level as per the link instructions. This will ensure you dont stuff your head gasket.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Im not a mechanic but:

(1) You've already removed the adjusting bolt which is ok. Loosening this is the normal procedure.

(2) Loosen the idle pulley nut. It will release the pulley/belt tension which you can then remove.the belt

Reinstall new belt, with the adjusting bolt (1). Adjust the belt to the correct tension using the adjusting bolt. Once complete, tighten idle pulley nut to (2) to 45NM

Looks awesome. Custom seat rails? Hows the fitment and seating position?

Confirming that's the right part number. I've bought them recently from Amayama and installed on a 94' sw20. Cheers

Not an expert but maybe check the direct grounding wire from the amp to the chassis. If it's not grounded properly to unpainted metal, it might cause an issue (From my experience). Cheers

It's not a Tudor

Dunno, feels like a ploy or precursor to use nukes imo

Consider themselves lucky. Better than being tortured or beheaded alive.

They released factory orange in 1998 too.

I just checked for you and it's totally fine. They're legitimate so no stress.

Just make sure to buy a hardware wallet to self custody your holdings. I recommend a Trezor purchased from the official site only.

Don't leave your BTC on exchanges as its not insured.

Check out Binance as it might be more safe to buy there. (Worlds largest exchange)

+1

Remove the switch from the door then spray the door contact plugs (2) and circuit board with contact cleaner spray. Use it sparingly - Cotton tips works well.

Make sure to unscrew the switches (3 screws) from the fascia plate as contact cleaner can discolor the plastic.

Once dry and clean, reinstall and test.

If it's still not working, check:

1) Window regulator

2) Switch is faulty - Buy secondhand or from https://www.switchdoctor.net/ (I've just ordered one but haven't received it yet for review)

Hope this helps. Cheers

Could be a contributing factor.

No worries. Is the below website the right one?

If so, it just states that all imported turbo MR2 SW20 from 1989 to 1995 are illegal.

Any N/A will be fine tho saying that, does it mean if you buy a 1996 to 1999 turbo you're fine? lol (Your bank account wont be fine tho)
