same with parking etc

Ok i see what you mean, I haven't noticed any difference to be honest. and yeah it will always feel like there's no power steering because my car doesn't have power steering.. maybe thats why I haven't noticed it ?

The tyre size would probably have more of an affect on that. I doubt he'd feel too much difference over say the normal 215/35 front combo. People running super grippy tyres up front would probably have it worse.

yeah tyre size is what it is although for a 8.5inch rim 225 is the smallest id go

i had 225 in the fronts and slow turns weren't the best

but yeah he has no powersteering lolllll

although a nice wheel alighnment will fix most problems

Yeah all 4 alligned and balanced .. nothing worse than driving without it done properly

power steering i believe turns off automatically over 60 km/h in the later model sw's ? it's only useful for parking in tight spots although i avoid these kinda places as much as possible ...if you ever see my car it will be the one parked on its own in a corner or on the end of a line for this very reason.. getting out easier

loll i know how you feel about red cars.... big pain in the a$$!!

mine just needed a quick polish where the mud guards were because the dirt that sat in between them all these years didn't seem to want to come out that easily.

I just bought Geo's old rims off him tonight. They are totally spotless (well road grime which I haven't cleaned off yet) but the only difference from the show room floor is the wheel balancing weights. They look perfect. I imagine the car is the same.

I didn't get to see the machine they came from unfortunately....

Happy with the purchase from Geo and his burly mate.

I got delivery of these the other day so I decided to put them on, they make my wheels look better now i think

TRD centre cap aluminum stickers

feel free to comment

thought it was about time I did an update...

Installed these today, chrome rings around my dials, also while i had the cluster out I threw in some new green LED bulbs to replace the stock ones

sorry about the pics they are pretty crappy but you can kinda see how they look now at night, big improvement compared to stock





Still to come: I've bought chrome MR2 door sills to go in next and my interior is currently at the trimmer, both seats and my door trims are getting done and I am told will be completed by this coming Monday or Tuesday

Oh and the biggest update will be when I find my gen 3 half cut to do my turbo conversion so keep an eye out for that too

Finally got my seats and door trims back from the trimmer so decided to bolt it all back in, heres a couple pics of how it turned out





Also installed mr2 scuff plates (thanks Dylan)
