MR2 SW 20 owners discussion thread

[Joyride]

Hey....anyone noticed that the 2 spotlights under the pop up headlights are actually able to follow the steering direction. I didn't noticed it before but one night whilst parking near a kerb, I saw the light beam shift direction to the kerb when I turned the steering, and it works for both left and right !!

How did they do it for a 15 yr old car??? Mike

haha.. so, did you love your MR2 more now??

My tire Frt 215/40R17 & wheel 17"x8jj +30 (add 8mm spacer) =+22 ---Super rub but cool
My tire rr 215/45 R17 & wheel 17"x9jj +35 (add 15mm spacer) =+20---Look fat but less rub
Wrong offset but jap look (not the smartest idea after all) & car too low....
All run on standard wheel arch.rolled a little..

Run a little more camber and u might getaway from the rubbing.
Mine was offset +10 infront with the same tires and rims size.
Negative camber 4.5 degree. Tire wear kow kow...hahaha

 

[MRMIC2]

Yup. I'm using 17X7.5 +35 (215) & 17X8 +37 (235) OK.

But for all offset if you camber + lower too much it will still rub.

Not for offset +10..hehe..rub on outside now

um, not sure u know this or not. SW20 is using electric motor to drive the power steering hydrolic instead of power by engine. this save some engine's energy. The recently Vios also using the same concept.

 

[iexit]

In fact all new cars are now shouting about their electric power steering :-)

For us its an old story :-D LOL Viva la MR2

 

[MR2Michael]

Yeah.... I know about this one.... Mine went kaput not so long ago, and luckily Mickey have got a unit I can buy over to replace...if not...I can become Tarzan just by parking the car !!
