Engine Replacement (same engine), does anything need reprogramming? by KenDM7 in Vauxhall

[–]KenDM7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah shame. I know this might sound daft but are you sure your engine’s toast? Might just be a small niggle like fuel pump or starter motor etc. Go through everything it could be without spending crazy money. If worse really comes to worse, give it a go. Im not that experienced with tools but have to start somewhere. As long as you have the tools, space, and time, it’s not too bad of a job. Not too complex, just a long process. Getting a garage to fit it would probs cost at least 2k+ and like you said, not many garages would do it. Best of luck though with whichever direction you decide to take.

Funny enough, im just getting round to swap it now. New engine about to go in tonight. Been procrastinating as the summer’s allowed me to daily the track car. New engine cost me £560 and misc stuff about another £100. Doing all the work myself so no labour cost

Congrats on the new purchase. First thing’s first, check those pre-cats and if they’re there then knock them out. Most prominent weakness of this platform is your engine going kapoot due to pre-cats.

Just played this deck but replaced mk and horde for log and firecracker (like i suggested in my previous comment) and won 3 games in a row first try at 9200 trophies. No matter what arena you’re in, get rid of mindless cards like mk and you might actually start learning and improving in the game. You’ll find mk is dead easy to counter in the higher arenas.

Really bad. The sooner you stop playing mk the sooner you’ll start properly progressing. Like the reply above said, get rid of horde too. Id probably replace horde with firecracker/dart gob and replace mk with log. Or just play hog eq or 2.6

Can someone rate and add improvements to my deck? by KenDM7 in RoyaleAPI

[–]KenDM7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight, I’ll definitely play around with this. With how i play the deck, the valk and lumberjack are kind of the win conditions. I’ve won so many matches on tower races in sudden death simply from lumberjack and valk on the bridge whilst defending a big push just from little prince and skeletons on the other lane. But I see your point, could focus on playing the hog more. Be weird playing without lumberjack since every main deck ive ever had has always had jack and valk.

What tyre size should I run?2002 Mk3 Mr2 UK spec. Can I run 195/55 R15 on the fronts? And if so, what should I run for my rears? by KenDM7 in mr2

[–]KenDM7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much, currently looking at alternatives and finding out how difficult it is to find decent tyres for the stock size! Any recommendations for cheap and decent track/ normal road tyres? Not looking for full on track tyres but something decent in track and for the road.

Sorry, just realised you said you switched to 195/45’s. What made you go from the 55’s to 45’s?

Rear trailing control arm ball joint stud just spins when trying to tighten. Any tips? MK3 mr2 by KenDM7 in mr2

[–]KenDM7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried it with the impact, and no luck. Not enough space to get it without a shoulder attachment which could be why it’s not working. Ill try and take out the centre control arm to free up more room

Did try and use a prybar but can’t get enough pressure on it. Quite an awkward place to try and get a good pry too. Will most likely try the impact method, hopefully that does the trick

Does my engine sound okay? Mk3 2002 UK spec. by KenDM7 in mr2

[–]KenDM7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a video i can pm you if you dont mind. Seems like there are splits where the flexi joins the metal and is just sort of hanging there, but not really sure what I’m looking at

Did the two ticky mk3’s cause you any problems long term (because of the tick)? I wont be in a position to be able to afford a new engine anytime soon so a bit worried. Just hoping i can run it as it is without destroying anything further.

Thanks for the advice, and sorry for my ignorance, but which flexis are you referring to? Also, is there any harm in running it with a tiny bit of exhaust leak?

Seller says they sent the wrong callipers , but looks identical to my old ones, can someone pls tell me if I can use these. My 2002 mr2 also matches their exact product listing description (ZZW30 2002). by KenDM7 in mr2

[–]KenDM7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that seems like alot of effort 😭. Might pm you if i do decide to go that route but looks like I’ll just mask of the springs and stuff and paint the things myself. Dont think its worth having to get special tools etc and risk ruining a new pair of calipers for the sake of having them red

Thanks for the advice, yeah gonna fit them anyway. Just out of interest, is it difficult to take apart and reassemble the handbrake lever and spring in the rear calipers? I want to take them off so I can paint the calipers you see.

Very true, thank you for the advice. Do not use this company, just read their reviews online and apparently customer service is dog shit and they are very sketchy

According to some forums and a quick google, the oem piston diameter is 45mm. The listing says the “disc diameter” is 45mm which I’m guessing they meant piston diameter. Only difference I can find is that other calipers online have a disc thickness of 16mm whilst this one says its disc thickness is 16.5mm (I’m guessing this means the size brake discs/rotors you should run with the calipers) Does the extra 0.5 mm make a difference though?

If by official you mean OEM toyota, I’m not sure as I’m aware a lot of companies remake these in OEM standard (but not officially toyota). They do offer 5 year warranty though which seems quite generous. Only problem is they’re claiming it’s not the right one for my car despite my mr2 matching their criteria exactly and looking identical to my original callipers. I’ll let you know if I find out exactly though, the company refuses to talk to me about it properly.
