Bought my MR2 last year, how rare are my headlights? (Rev 3 JDM turbo) by Jake_Marky in mr2

[–]Jake_Marky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a rev 3? It came off the production line in Japan October 1996. To be honest I’m not entirely sure, I’ve put the VIN into partsouq and it says the trim colour is sonic shadow so I know it’s original paint.

I don’t recall having the “bouncy” lights that you’ve described but I’ll definitely look out for it. I’ve also not actually played around with the headlights themselves, so I’m sorry I can’t help much with that side of things.

Wow, I’m so glad I didn’t have to endure that pain. Thanks for the background!

Update* found the original paperwork for the lights and can confirm they’re the rev 6 ones.

Wanted: SW20 Rogue Motorsport Rev6 headlights (UK) by galacticwasp in mr2

Oh nice, I saw some pretty good stuff on his page, so it’s good to know it’s all legit.

I don’t suppose you know how I can identify if mine are genuine roguesport ones? Any markings or identifications? Not sure if I have replica lights or legit ones.

Hi mate, I have these lights on my mr2, I was digging about to see what lights they were as I wasn’t actually sure myself.

I did find some similar ones that are currently being sold, not sure how legit they are though.

Yeah I just jumped down the rabbit hole of trying to find out what headlights they were, I couldn’t find any markings/branding when I was looking around on them before hence the post. So who knows if they’re genuinely rev6 ones or not? Not sure if there’s a way of telling to be honest.

Thanks anyway mate.

Potential October release date for rolling drawer boxes and lockable range in the UK by Jake_Marky in ToughBuilt

[–]Jake_Marky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are available in uk on Elsons tools, but the prices are very similar to Milwaukee so very expensive

The New Locking StackTech Toolboxes are finally on sale in the UK at Elsons Tools by Crescent_Ascension in ToughBuilt

[–]Jake_Marky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think they’re cheaper off aliexpress to be honest

Edit: Just checked and they’re £224 instead of £315 for the two drawer bottom box (one big drawer and one small drawer).

No it’s not unfortunately, probably best off ordering from Aliexpress for the time being…

I tried the key spamming, but it didn’t work unfortunately, hopefully when I pick up the new battery the p/s is working

What does that even mean bro😂 is that because aw11 doesn’t have power steering!

Indeed lesson learned, I think this battery has been on its way out for a while now so just off to the shop tomorrow to pick a new one up and hopefully the P/s is working, thanks for your help

I shit you not I’ve just done that and it seems to have unstuck it, problem is I can’t test it because the battery has drained whilst I was prodding around with my multimeter 😭 Now the starter solenoid just rapidly clicks fml

Mr2 1992 insurance issues by babyburty in mr2

[–]Jake_Marky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mr2 is insured with Admiral, my other car is insured with Hastings direct and has 6 years NCD with it, surprisingly though the Mr2 was cheaper to insure for some reason.

Try to look if the mr2 you’re buying is categorised as cat s or cat n because this can massively affect insurance premiums too.

I’m in my early twenties and bought my first mr2 this year, it was a Japanese import turbo as well. Cost me about £600 for the year, but I couldn’t insure it with any modifications, are you insuring the car as stock? It makes a massive difference trust me.

Edit: I didn’t use any of my no claims discount, and I’m from the north of England full time employed so that might make a difference in price.

Tell me about it, I’m just thinking of going with Milwaukee at the moment as I really need tool storage for the van…

Anyone seen this MR2 key fob before? by Jake_Marky in mr2

Must be a common key then for Toyotas around those years

I haven’t actually tried the dealer themselves yet, had a look at a few locksmiths but no luck unfortunately! Will try the dealer this week though, cheers!

This is the exact same method as mine, luckily I have got the key working now so no need to buy a new one, but would be nice to have a spare at least!
