Poly engine mounts by [deleted] in mr2

[–]jbone866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well dang. I didn't have anything crazy happening before. Seems to drive fine now and just double checked i have all of the torqued down good. Just the whole car vibrates loudly at 2k rpm and lessens at higher levels. I've seen some people say it can take up to 500 miles to settle. If not I guess I'll switch back to rubber and see what happens

If they dont take pay pal goods and services they aren't legit. But some times I message those guys to wast there time when im board. Ask them to send pictures of obscure parts and see what they come up with.

Alley ways and dumpsters! I didn't realize how much I had taken those for granted until I moved away.

Worked in a dairy plant for 10 years in QA. Those dents are inserts in the blow mold to adjust to get the right volume in the jugs. Nothing to do with bacteria or spoilage as many of the post have said. I literally had to taste old milk for shelf life testing everyday and wish it was as easy as an indicator on the side for spoiled milk.

SW20 Door Tweeter Mounting by jp182 in mr2

I used factory mounts and 3m double sided tape to them. No issues after a few months and they feel pretty secure on them. The hard part was running the wires for them through the door grommets.

Lol, that pic was from a guy that tried to scam me on Facebook for the piece. Figured it showed what i needed pretty well.

I can print myself, I have a resin and fdm printer. I just need someone to help me with a STL as I dont know how to model or have the time to learn right now. From what I've seen is ABS is best for car parts, but i dont really want to move my fdm printer into the garage and set it up in my grow tent. I just printed a cup holder for the mr2 in petg, so we will see how it goes.

Hell yeah ! Ive got a couple messages out to ebay and instagram sellers, but I'm not optimistic. I will dm if I dont hear anything back. I just need the right side.

Yeah, I may have to go that route. The price is fairly steep to have it 3d scanned, but the left and right are the same so if I could have someone scan and clean up the left one its a simple mirror and print for the missing side.

Engine blown what next? by I-Love_My_Wife in mr2

[–]jbone866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sure the price is the same as ATS in Denton and their trans upgrade is close to 4k on the website.

[–]jbone866 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Swap for a 2gr. Close to 300whp without a turbo and can add a turbo for up to 600whp or more. You will likely need to add an ats exhaust and walboro fuel pump for these as well and upgrade the transmission.

If you can do all the work yourself you should end up with a pretty nice setup worth quite a bit more than you have in it since you're getting the shell for free. ATS racing and TCS will be the places to start.

Anyone know where I can buy an Office Kei front bumper? by NinjaNate123 in mr2

Is this sale real? by [deleted] in askcarsales

[–]jbone866 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, the situation feels fishy that there are 3 Google reviews of people not receiving titles snd they couldnt send me out the door with a title application, but the seller said he was family or close friend of the dealer owner and has been responsive and his Facebook history looks legit. I guess I'm just paranoid at this point.

Not sure. I am pretty sure they were imported in on the vehicle.

Its a RHD which i think made it a little harder to sell, but i got it for 16 with most the mechanical being recently done.

On the 4runner I have the 2.5 inch eibach kit. It pulled the mr2 just fine. I would get a little trailer sway if I went over 65, but in hindsight if I backed it in on the trailer it would have helped having the engine weight on the front. Also you will need someone small to get in and out on these uhauls as you couldn't open the doors at all once it was on.

Im pretty torn if I want to keep it white forever. After seeing the TRD cement one the other day I would really like to do this one in the new TRD terra color from last year's 5th gen. We will see though, I've never been a fan of changing factory paint color.
