Tony Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Wasn't offering charity, just keen to see the kit and since we haven't seen one before on the MR2 it's hardly fair to pay for our talk time on the first install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zircon Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 How are you fixed for Monday 14th March? If that is good with your diary then I will book the day off and we can crack on with it. I would like to do what I did with my old E36 and post up pictures of the day and what you guys offer on the MR2 forums. As you say, people expect a lot of adjustment on the MR2 when there is less than you would expect and it might help to give people some idea of the modifications that allow the extra flexibility whilst showcasing WIM and get you some additional custom.....

Zircon Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 All booked up for 14th - looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zircon Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi Tony Just getting the last couple of things ordered for the 14th - and I need your advice on washers.... The RCA bolts don't have any apart from on one bolt where a washer was stuck onto the head of the bolt. I have prised it off and it is just a regular 1mm thick ring type washer. I am feeling that I should put some shake-proof washers on - would you agree, or should I get some spring washers (the ones with a cut in that are slightly twisted? Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 How long are the bolts?...... Can they support a split washer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zircon Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 How long are the bolts?...... Can they support a split washer. They are M10 and M12 equivallent sized with between 40mm and 60mm in threaded length. The remaining washer that was on the kit which I suspect is original is 1mm thick. I think sprung washers are about that thick too aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yes i would think so..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zircon Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I am getting childishly excited now! Split washers have arrived, as have Eibach camber bolts for the rear. Few concerns though: Clearance from castle nut to rim after the 25mm front RCA's go on (should just about clear with any luck), having clearance between tire and rear coilover spring with the eibach camber bolts in use and getting the right bolts in the right places! I love days off work spent on improving the car..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
