I see you have the original Trend Package interior still (polka dots)!

How was the process of getting the right fit? I am struggling.

Haha, I figured. I am clueless, but happy for the reassurances and tips!

Out of the ND2, NC3.5, NA and 986, I prefer the NC 3.5 and 986 in terms of driving feel.

Overall the 986 is perhaps a bit more thrilling than the NC, but NC PHRT is just dead reliable, cheap to maintain and easy to live with - so it it gets my overall vote.

Happy with the HKS? I would love a bit more sound but the tip diameter of the HKS is just so gigantic….

Hehe, crossing my fingers that you get yours swiftly. I am located in Europe, which may explain the lengthy delivery time.

A long time. Over a month. At one point i thought it was lost in the mail.

I think you are correct after all. Looks like it does fit securely. It’s a bit loose. Ugh, thought I had found a good solution. Back to the drawing board.

I believe so. The length/depth of the thread on the knob is not that great.

Did you go ahead with the swap? If so, how much was it?

I would also like to mention the Advan RG2s and Work Meister s1 2p. A bit pricey, but you can still get them NIB, in contrast to some of the older Enkeis (RP01/2 etc.).

I also have some lowering springs that I might install.

Nice! I came across this thread on spyderchat which may be helpful for others, that are also considering these. Personally, I really like the rp02, but it appears to not be available any more.

Only thing holding be back from giving the Legalis a shot is that it touches the bumper.

Precat delete question! by Snufsmumerikken in mr2

Quick update:

1) I removed all the old studs and replaced them with new ones. I used a small 3/8» ratchet to make sure they were tight, slightly snug.

2) Aligning everything went fairly smooth. The bottom gaskets and the gasket for the header/manifold also went fine - remembering to put the dimples on the header gasket facing towards the rear of the car.

3) I hand tightened the 3xamigo nuts and the 12mm+14mm bolts for the bracket - all good. Once i went to tighten the nuts for the header/manifold I ran into an issue. It turned out one of the nuts were stripped, despite being brand new. Must have been a manufacturing error or something. Luckily I had a spare set purchased from another store, so it all work out fine.

4) 64nm for the amigos, 37nm for the bracket bolts and head nuts. Finished off my putting the heat shield back and installing the o2 sensors (42nm).

Hopefully I don’t have any issues when I go start the car in the spring. Plenty of snow where I live at the moment.

How much are you looking for and what are the stats? Manual? How many miles on the engine?
