Tony Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I'll have to pull copies tomorrow. Tony are you able to get the same print out as per this http://www.mr2oc.co.uk/ForumsPro/viewtopic...15/start=0.html Can do..... If i remember to remember Hi Tony I have managed to get my hands on a TRD brace for my MR2. I have tried to fit it tonight and it doesn't fit. It is probably out by 2-3mm. I imagine this is down to the age of the car and a slight sagging in the chasis. I am planning jacking the car up via the sub frame to see if the car will move so i can get the brace on. Obviousley this will mean the setup of my car will change. Is there anywhere round here Leeds/Bradford/Manchester that know what they are doing, so i can get my car checked afterwards? Thank you Pete Only one place> http://www.nigellangsgarage.co.uk/profile.htm Be sure to release as many anchor points at the chassis as you can see.... This should give you the flex you need.

Thank you Tony. I think it was a false call. I have been round to a friends who also has a trd brace. His fits, after examining the 2 braces it looks like mine is an earlier one and doesn't allow for any movement at all, whereas my friends does, it has elongated holes in the brace, mine are circular. So panic over. it great to know of a garage up here that are up to the geometry job. Pete ps any changes of that other print out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteT Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thank you tony. I was telling my mate about your service today. Next time he is down your way he is going to get booked in and get his car looked at. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 More or less.... This Geo was a recovery plus the cars not for the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Looks fairly typical for OEM RWD. Never got a look at anything mid-engined so I was curious if the MR layout commanded different figures. Guess not huh ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess not huh ? Domestically no, on the track or fast road they are a mare because the front is so light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All i wanted was the car to be correct again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I was behind your car waiting for a parking spot, then parked my blue MR2 about 2 parking spots down before you left. I thought i recognised your plate when i saw it and remembered it was here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i recognised your plate when i saw it and remembered it was here. Hi Mark, Yes that was me. Sorry i was in a rush. I was on my way to see a customer and was running late. I'll say Hi next time. I have actually spoken to you before in front of those shops, probably about 2 years ago, It was just after i sold my other MR2 and i thought you had bought it.

Thank you this info Tony. I have had a new engine fitted to my MR2, the handling was not what i expected so I visited NigelLangsGarage. They have done a fantastic job and it now handles just like it did after i visited you. I can recomend them for anyone in the north.
