Really looking forward to seeing this finished TimmyC, are you stripping the inside or keeping it stock? Any thoughts of a cage?

Look forward to hearing from you mate.

If it helps people, I live in a small town near the city of Bath. Just 20mins away from the city center and 30mins off the motorway exit.

Hi everyone,

My name is Kit and I own a White 95 FD, lots of HKS goodies, Enki wheels and lots of flames.

A while back I brought an expensive Arch roller and a heat gun. I have rolled a few Arches on friends cars, like Lupos, my own MR2 etc and plan to do my own FD when I get it booked in for a respray.

If anyone wanted to borrow my roller I\'d be more than happy to loan it out for a small fee. If you wanted me to roll (I dont do flares)(yet) your arches for you, I\'d either charge you a flat rate or we could come to some sort of deal. Eg. Parts, work on my car whilst I work on yours etc etc...

My mobile number is 07590570470 and I can be contacted between 5pm and 9pm every day.

Feel free to stickie this if its useful to members. :WaveBye

Followed the link in Grinders Signature, ended up here.

I bet you would collect the wind in paper bags if you could, then use it on hot days as air-con.

I was hoping someone would say that grinder. I FREEEKING love this car. :InLove

So todays update:

Learnt how to use the search function on this site..... LOADS of info to choose from. Although have not found any video how too\'s. Those would be really helpful. Anyone link me to any?

I got in from work about 5pm and decided to do an orientation of the engine bay. Must admit im not sure what a lot of it does yet... I\'ve removed the strut bar, intake and throttle bodie (20min job) and removed the spark plugs as I think I\'ve flooded it showing it off to friends and family whilst sat on my drive way. It\'s running 9\'s front and back which seems to be normal according to this forum although I was expecting 7s front and 9s rear. The plugs are minging so i\'ve ordered a new set which should be here tomorrow or the next day.

Can anyone suggest anything else to do whilst ive got the above parts off? Think I saw the oil filter so might order one of those aswell.

Who is a reputable parts dealer that the community trusts and use often?

(I wont post pics as im sure you all know what our engine bays look like)

So a few quick questions:

Best oil to use?
Best coolant to use?
Best battery to buy?

I dont want to spend silly money for stuff my car doesn\'t need, e.g gold plated battery, but would like to get what is proven to work/last in these cars.

Also who do people buy from? Im guessing halfords is a sin word here too?

Thanks in advance for replys.

Hello everyone, my name is Kit. Untill recently I was a very active MR2OC member with a black rev2 NA with lots of tasteful mods.

I now own a White 95 FD. I brought this car as a long term project. It had an engine rebuild in 2007 and has only done 1000miles since due to the previous owner getting married, kids house usual story but was garaged during that time.

Main problems thus far:

• Running extremely rich, burbles and often pops/flames.
• Battery not man enough to hold charge (cheapo job to sell I think).
• Rear windscreen seal is comming up at bottom when the two ends join and water is sitting in their but not leaking into boot.
• Horrible rear spats have been rivetted onto original bumper.
• Enkei wheels need a refurb, but I want new ones so will sell them on.
• Interior plastics are loose fitting and squeek/rattle.

Other than that I think its a good\'un. Time will tell.


My plan is to get it MOT\'d and taxed so I can get it to a specialist for a full service/tune but this will be as and when money allows.


Here is a picture, anyone know this car?:

Got a recent compression test from reputible company/person? If so and all is well I am interested.

Please email me your mobile number and if im able to get away from work early I will call to arrange.

My email: progoalie88@yahoo.com

Thanks in advance.

Hello, where abouts are you in Wilts?

I recently sold my MR2 and need a new weekend toy. Could possibly come see it on Monday or Tuesday if your free?
