yep, missing my two already and it hasn't even been off the road a week.
It's sitting in the corner of a panel shop at the moment, wheels on so it can be rolled around if needed, but no axles or anything connected. I dropped in for a bit more of a tinker on tuesday night and it's already hell dirty from the work in the panel shop, the poor little thing.

I find just cruising, pointless and boring. Sure its ok if you are actually driving somewhere to do something, but just driving around at the speed limit as like every other day is extremely boring! You gota have a track day, or have some runs, or atleast a bit of spirited driving! None of this commogay all in a line style cruise!

hey fat, but are there more than 1 size? im 190ish cm tall, and the reason i want fixed back is because the buckets tend to be the lowest/have least seat area IE will make it lower in the car so i can sit up straight right?

...oh wait, you guys live 4500kms from me. *sigh*
I took the MR2 to an auto electrician today - it turns out that somehow the headlight, taillight, and driving light on the left side all managed to blow at the same time. :confused: So now I'm $70 poorer and four lightbulbs richer. Yay. Next stop, tyres... Goodyear F1s are good, no?

I didnt take my a/c out when i put the turbo on mine. i figure its better to leave it the way it is. Then i wont regret it later. It easy to pull it all out but its a pain in the ass to put it back.
For the head unit.....get a meter and check all your wires. make sure you havent got your positive off the dimmer switch. dont laugh, i know a guy who did that and everytime you turn the dimmer down the head unit turned off.
Also, make sure the negative is actually a negative. there are some wires back there that change state when you turn your lights on and so forth. If you have the positive and negative sorted out you'll be right. If all else fails, take it to an auto elec or run a new positive from your fuse block.
There are just so many things it could be.

Freddo i just overcame this problem my self. I had everything wired up corrrectly and couldnt get any power to the unit.
There are 3 fuse boxes. Frunk, dash and Engine Bay
There is a 15amp fuse in Engine Bay box that is needed for the stereo to work. (pretty strange that this 'radio' fuse is in the eng bay) can someone explain?
If not check all fuse boxes for a blown 15A
Good luck worked for me

You can only upload pics in the 'for sale' thread, to post pics anywhere else, you need to click on the  and put in your image location. You should get a small amount of space with whatever ISP you signed up with, which is great for storing pics. Otherwise, there's a ton of free places on the net.
