+1 those headlights look hot

funky tell me would this size/offset fit is250 and im reluctant to do much guard work just coilovers an shit..

19 x 9 +20 r 19 x 10 +25

think these are a better option though

19 x 9" +37 f

19 x 10" +34 r

lolwut? those are hella xenon modules, one for low and one for high, $130 a set, so $260 for the lights. surely someone makes fibreglass copies of the housing?

The modules aren't the pricey bit. The 'low rise' kit is where the money is. Only 2 companies that sell them. One in the UK and one in the US. They're around $800 with the modules and slightly cheaper without.

no... 1.5 is for a brown person :banana:

no, brown people take the same time as bleck people, but they'll try and negotiate a twofer while robbing you.

low rise kit? if it's anything like the 180sx it's just a simple control circuit wired in line with the motor signal. costs $15 max for a 180sx. mr2 can't be that much more complicated?

If it was easy I'm sure everyone would be doing it. I've never heard of any other way except buying the actual kit.

If you can find a cheaper alternative I'm sure you could make quite a bit of money from the MR2 community :banana:

Btw - where to get a decent 10mm spacer? I'm sick of my rears being tucked in. Time to take Hamish's advice from when I bought the wheels :banana:

This is all I can find after a small fleabay search..

altezza is a is200 phag.

altezza is an IS200,IS250,IS300,IS350 etc. It's a model... ie Altezza = IS

just cos toyota decided to call it that in japan last year doesn't mean people don't call it that still. ya cock smoker.

dunno where you're gonna get 10mm hubcentrics but justjap carry a decent bunch...

start at 15mm though... but then again, your front is slightly mexican anyways, so it should even it up... roll guards, stretch tyres and slam and you're a winnar.

Thanks heaps man. MR2s are 114.3 but I'm sure you knew that :D

My fronts are poking out 6mm

My rears are sunk by 3mm

So with a 15mm spacer I'll have..

Fronts: 6mm poke

Rears: 12mm poke

That's alot haha. I guess it wouldn't be bad if I got the rears flared a bit.

if he lowers it.

from the pics it looked a lot more than 6mm poke in the front. drop a vertical string from the most out part of the guard and then measure out from that.

yeah jizzy, that's the link I had saved for my golf (5x100) but then I decided to get custom wheels instead of going with spacers.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
