Just dropping by to say hello, Swapped my Accord type R for 1995 MR2 turbo 3 days ago. I put new 17" black alloys with a chrome lip on it. It has HKS guages, HKS dump valve, Uprated turbo, Toms sideskirts. Car is in mint condition, no dents or scrapes. Just have to get it NCT'd. Anyone have any problems with the handbrakes on MR2's? I adjusted mine today underneath the car but it still doesnt stop the car rolling when its pulled up. it is gripping the discs but just not near enough, any ideas? maybe a new set of rear brake pads?

Cheers

Fred

welcome to mr2.ie you guys are so lucky to get 95 turbo plus and up. we got nothing but left over like 91.

any pic?

Welcome to the club Fred

Welcome to the Club & enjoy your stay, happy greet you, hope to meet you.

Welcome to MR2.ie

Looking forward to some pics

Welcome to the site Fred. Here's a link to the handbrake adjustment section of the MR2 manual: www.mr2-tech.com/bgb/mechanical/volume2/brake_system.htm you might have done all this before but thought it could come in handy as a double check..

Hope to see you and the 2 at some meets some time..

Hey Fred welcome aboard. Myself and dshamrock are in Kildare too. You should link up with us and come in convoy to the next meet/mini meet. Some times we meet in Blanchardstown on a Thursday evening for an hour or two, just to chat MR2's / compare and contrast cars, mods etc. Good craic. Are you north or south Kildare? Just judging distance.

Cheers for the welcome and the info guys. Im based in Monasterevin Co Kildare myself. will try get to the next meet alright, sounds like a bit of craic.

Looks very clean, nice one!
Couple of us are near the Naas area, so you would be passing by. We could meet up and roll the rest of the way with us. Keep an eye on the site for the next meet and tag along.

Cheers Swagger, will do. By any chance do you know where i would get a back lip for the bumper or the smaller type rear spats like the ones in the photo, not the big ones

cheers

spats

Not for sure, but try these places:

www.rpmgarage.com
www.roguemotorsport.com
www.fensport.com
www.ebay.com

Also watch for sale threads on mr2.co.uk, tbdevelopments.com and imoc.co.uk

There are also other sites like replikit.com

Its very hard to find originals, might have to settle with copies.
There is a guy on here called DB8, send him a PM with a request, he normally comes across rare goodies.

Im sure some others will reply to you with more possible places.

cheers will have a look

Here's some from the UK: www.carbenfibrecreations.co.uk/product.php?id_product=14

Well known vendor, have not heard any bad comments personally.

One other thing, I'm trying to place where I've seen your side skirts before. They're different to Tom's style... Possibly ASK, or maybe Autopista...

Good man Quandry, cant believe I forgot to mention CarbenFibre. Fred, I have actually bought a few bits from Ben. Great service, fast shipping, no messing about. I highly recommend doing business with him.

Yeah those spats are nice, they are the Rogue Type P's.


Carbenfibre does similar spats called BMX Style:

www.carbenfibrecreations.co.uk/product.php?id_product=14

I think they are all copies of some particular brand.

Hi lads had a look on carbenfobrecreations, they are the spats im looking for, the bmx style ones, not a bad price either £70 sterling. going to order them shortly. Not sure exactly what my sideskirts are, the guy i got the car off said they were C-west ones but he wasnt sure.

Cool, if you order them, leave a message on the order telling Ben you heard of his site on www.mr2.ie.

Nice one!

Midland Renewable Energy?

Haha, just spotted that Mark, fixed it now. So did you know that's what MRE meant or did you Google it? Also, do you think Google is getting a little cocky these days? You get one little spelling mistake and it goes "DID YOU MEAN?"

Whats all this Midland Renewable Energy lark about? Thread jackers!
