Hi all MR2 buddies,

Bigger IC will be increase some horsepower only unless u get bigger turbo or bearing turbo and change internally. Need to set for air/fuel ratio correctly if not it'll not balance and u may have for jerking.

With the antiroll bar upgraded makes a big difference in handling. Many thanks to Mickey for assuring me the ST sway bars, they works great, never better, the way I like it, resolve the oversteer feel. Can corner fast now. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their 2's handling.:proud:

Hi Fishie,
No need to curi, just ask........
U will need the RCA for both front & rear if U lowered yr car otherwise change yr anti sway/roll bar. ST sway bar set that I got are hollow tube type instead of solid bar. They are lighter than solid type. Improves handling tremendously and helps improves the oversteer problem but not all. The RCA will help to reduce bump steer & oversteer by restoring back yr lower arm confiq. Lowering the ride height is not that simple as the lower arm setup changes together and thats worst with Mcpherson strut type, not so bad for multi link and nil for solid axle like the lorries.
Beware of the front tie rod when using the same RCA if you are planning to install as the tie rod end is too short, probably 3 to 5 thread grip, too risky. Also get a set of the tie end to bring down your the confiq of the tie rod level to ground or slightly pointing downward to avoid bump steer.

Aiyaaaaaaaaa........seem lost for sooooooo longggggggg.......got some time for my long forgotten project, seem like never going to end/complete. Anyway got the kick back again, did some mod. this time had my spare head professionally done by "Nasty port & polish" and balance flowed, ported and polished, valve angled, valve throat enlarged. Cost a bit, don't know how good, bench flowed looks great for all 4 - balanced. had my HKS 256 cam in and valve clearance adjusted, balanced all valve clearance to the very best with available shim thickness Toyota ever made. Have to buy special tools to do the valve clearance, see photo. Cost RM75.00 from Mudah.
