Like the sound fx. Did you consider cleaning and lubricating the headlight motor? If it turns but struggles, It could just use some fresh grease.
I sheered the exact same bolts on mine a few years ago. The old broken bolt can be drilled out if you go slow, you might just have tap out the nut afterwards. I ended up replacing all of them with new bolts as they were all rusted to hell.
it's always one step forward, two steps back, right?
I love Mr2 sw20
Nice sound effects!
So very close. Next time Misty, next time……..
I used riv nuts on my headlight as mine did the same
Do yourself the biggest favor – before you install new brake lines, cut a notch into those tabs on the struts so you can just slide them in and out (secured with a tab clip or zip tie) every time you have to remove the caliper to change pads/rotors. That way you won't have to open the lines, and then be required to bleed the brakes at the end of your job. Every MR2 I've ever seen has had this mod done. Toyota usually engineers things like this better – small oversight on their part. You might also consider stainless steel brake lines from reputable MR2 suppliers, like Techna-Fit. You won't have fitment problems and they'll come with all new hardware, including the tab clips I mentioned.
Where did you find new calipers from? Ive been struggling to get hold of some myself
so when you putting a turbo on it
I am excited. I very recently managed to finish and sell the mustang I bought in 2018, myself.
Hopefully you have more luck with the last little bit.
Good progress! This is the home stretch now. 🙂
11:16 I'd take the gearbox on the motor apart and see if the grease has dried up. It will be sapping a lot of the motor's torque if the gears are sticky.
10:20 For doing up cone hubs on bike wheels.
No! Not the foreshadowing!? Why? Why do you always Jynx it!
I love this channel so much, thank you for the upload Matt
