i just got my MR-S about 2 weeks ago,
I will start with what is wrong with it,
-Has a mini disc player
-pulls to one side
-Has a west ham sticker on the read windshield takes up the entire window
-rear quater panels are heavily dented
-spoiler holes in the rear lid
-bent aerial
-deteriorated bushings
-sticky rear brake
-everything is in Km
-soft top made of swiss cheese.
Now what's good with it.
-Has been lowered 6.6
-has a blitz exhaust cat back
-K&n induction kit
-TRD short shift kit
-Very well maintained interior
-electrics are good *except central locking
-very clean head lights
-she's MINE!!
-only cost £700
-56k miles genuine
-almost full service history Japanese and uk services very well maintained.
how in gods name did you get that for 700quid.
edit: Just realised that pull to the left probably isn't talking about tramlining. Do you know the source?
A mini disc player?!?! SWEET! Pics!
will do guys, I know right MD all the way!! well he had it up as a grey import which I think put people off!
not sure about the pull my old man mentioned it's an easy fix but I cant remember what he said it was! as soon as I work out how to post pics il post em up!!!
Sweet! I wanna see pics! Pull is probably the bottom ball joint or wishbone bushes
Yeah that's right "crazy" ball joint and bushes

a small part of me is close to picking up a second hand jdl bodykit... but was going to save up for the td3000... s:? :? s:?
That's a lot of plans for the week!
What are the wires on the left of the engine bay? They look an odd colour
lol yet to find out but I think it might be some random earthing cables, il check them for a current and find out where they go. a big list for a little car but hopefully I can get 80% of the car done by the weekend.
I'm in the process of ordering my wrap today, but I need to measure up the panels and find out how much i'm going to need! (if anyone already has the panel measurements I will take them with open arms!)
Quote from: "kostonhumar"Why is the MR-S logo a Chicken?
because we're all clucking mad.
il get me coat
Lol, I first went oh that makes sense then went wait a sec that can't be true lol!
Here are some close ups of the rouge cables I think they earth but who knows? No really who knows lol

How very odd! Wonder if the original earth points had gone, so whoever had it before just bodged up some custom earth points. It's not right anyway. Fair bit of rust in there and all. Has this thing had an engine swap at any time?
Maybe an attempt at an engine earthing kit?
not entirely sure if im honest, there is no paper work to suggest an engine swap? thinking of removing them and maybe getting someone to earth it if it's required?
Quote from: "Meeerrrk"Maybe an attempt at an engine earthing kit?
That's what it looks like!
hmm well being a import cars in japan are struck quite frequently maybe it was from pre import? can I just take off?
saw a couple of cars hit in akina and akita when I was there last year. pretty crazy!? s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
visually it just looks like a PFL with square plates and a midship badge :s
Whats the interior like?
As for those earth cables, why has it got so many! I would just buy an earth strap and go from the battery to the body and not sure if you need to earth body to engine, as surely the engine mounts cover this. I am sure someone will come along to correct me if i am wrong s:) :) s:)
I thought so too then I got in and it was all In km and everything was Japanese and the import papers sealed the deal s;) ;) s;)
The inside is really clean good condition no holes in carpet just a bit crappy stitching on the wheel(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/02/e61d4439a2e5e232e48982f2ae022a4b.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/02/26cf7cf619448f1120ae6ee568e6cd87.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/02/0abe26f3c2d8efd82e3fee50d6ecbfe1.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/02/26335d460cdda2e875f55ec88d8d51ee.jpg)
3 things observed:
1. you have AC s:) :) s:)
2. you have an odd looking stereo with an odder looking stereo surround
3. the wipers and indicator stalks are the other way round. I quite like that, as if you are right handed you can flick the indicators on and off as you turn. s:) :) s:)
I believe ac is a standard in Japanese cars? Yes!! The stalk is annoying but now very cool and makes more sense as I'm a lefty, always 1 hand on the gears

Hey guys it's been a long day but I managed to find a rear panel a jdl body kit and a new soft top! For......£100
Unfortunately the body kit leaves me with almost no ground clearance and needs some tlc sighhhhhh. So now I need to save up for some 16'-17's or change my springs... Pictures will follow!!
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/05/6604bfb911d69d8c522b9c22173e9928.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/05/83bd5f599c176e5482be4cf837d04f85.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/05/11d9e8e4a0c24b0051c0cd3f2f45caa5.jpg)
Forgot to mention I strapped down 2 bumpers skirts a panel and roof to the back and travelled from barking to west London 36 miles. I was very popular with the police and tourists ha ha ha
I love retro stereos. Reminds me of my youth messing about with ICE.
I know right I remember feeling like the biggest don when I had a aux cable.
How on earth did you get a jdl body kit for 100quid
Lol well a super nice continental guy was breaking a mrs for the 2zz conversion and we got along pretty well and he gave a sweet deal lol
I'm thinking of restoring it and selling it, to fund my 2zz conversion... But I kinda want it, looks really aggressive mr2 problems!
I love how you were conscious enough to stay legal, that you wedged your front numberplate in the window, but then you stack all those parts on the back of the car! Lol
Lol I know, the thing is we only had one length of rope holding the 2 bumper,roof and panel down. And driving on the motorway was stressful felt like I was going to lose it all every time a lorry passed me
my plans keep falling apart I keep getting called away so i'm not getting anything done. im seemingly just acquiring all the parts for my car but not putting them on T_T here are some 17's I have recently acquired pictures bellow tyres are all good £65

Saw this and lolled
Here they are got a sweet deal with the local tyre dealer I now get all 205/40 for free if they are less than 4mm (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/12/e80cb71f2cfc2c983327087b6edc5d38.jpg)
My first attempt at wrapping and I'm pretty happy with it!! (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/13/349a099990cc233e0bcc676266e8d51f.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/13/9ead79a6455ce94e9b22d612136b8b09.jpg)
A few bubble but il be needling them out soon!!
Have you got stagger on the tyres?
Nice wrap mate!
Prick the bubbles with a pin and smooth over if you can't get them out.
Am considering doing the same to mine so please add pics of it on s:D :D s:D
Yeah they are staggered gonna get them refurbed and powdered and il be ready to go.
And sure thing it took me 2 hours to do the bonnet as I was trying to make sure there was no bubbles but after I I realised it was ok for a few small ones it was easy. Thinking of doing the engine lid tomorrow.

looks awesome bud! you gonna do the whole car that colour?
Yeah, though I kind of like the grey and blue... Tonights mission is the engine lid followed by the panels then the doors. I'm really really putting off the JDL bumpers and side skirts......
Eta Monday completion unless I run out of vinyl
Cool man! U doing this indoors? Why u putting off the JDL stuff?? Complex shapes???
yeah I want to do all the easy pieces first so if I mess it up I have at least I wrapped as much as possible with what I have.
yeah curves are a biznitch and looking at all the vents and all that I'm a bit hesitant. I'm doing it in my hallway currently, I do need squeegee out all the air bubbles that are left very tiny ones but according to a guy I know it happens from time to time.
Did you go for the proper 3M (or equivalent) vinyl. It makes a huge difference. The latest stuff even has very fine holes in it so it doesn't create bubbles, great stuff to use!
Bonnet looks good s:) :) s:)
pretty sure it is
Did the back and it looked terrible the vents came out like mould on poop pictures will follow

oh dear. why did that happen when the first one went so well?
Yeah id think id do that agaon, bubbles like that wont vanish, and u need a sharper blade, after afew cuts they get really blunt s;) ;) s;)
1st time I attempted the front I messed it up. second time went well. so im guessing it's down to experience, new shapes and a different method. (whispers) or maybe I just cr@p s:cry: :cry: s:cry:
don't mean to tell you how to suck eggs, but did you give it a good clean with panel wipe or alike.
lol i cleaned with fairy and muck away degreaser. then dried with towel then. said no guts no glory!!!
did you use a lint free cloth, a towel can leave little minute stringy bits or fluff, that would cause bubbles! Get some panel wipe and tack cloths s;) ;) s;)
all these helpful hints where were you at 11:00pm when i needed those tips!!!
my engine lid wrap has saved itself!! all the little bubbles all merged together to become big bubbles I think it's time to get popping.
though the vent still looks like sshit shit sshit !!!
any updates on this?? Any more wrapping happen? Bodykit on?
I have really fallen of the wagon with wrapping it as I get home at 7:00pm and by that time it's dark. But this weekend I'm going to try bash out some side panels or maybe sand down and repair the cracks in the bumper, holes in the skirts and take off the sticker off the rear

It is hard work. Nice collecting parts but then hard to actually do anything. Especially with it getting darker and colder.
I have decided to go oldskool and paint my bits now. s:) :) s:)
yeah but it's just seemingly endless.
i just find my list get's longer and the stockpile of parts get bigger,
might be grabbing a datesk ECU this weekend
Trying to get a rear drivers side calliper as mine has seized soooo much i lit a cigarette of the disc. This is a list of things i still have to attack.
tracking/alignment
replace cv gaitors
service car
new rear tires (self inflicted)
replace rear drivers 1/4
replace caliper
replace pads
replace 3 bulbs
replace handbrake cable
tighten gas pedal (reduce the slack)
take off badly attempted earthing kit.
find a battery strap
replace springs
body fill spoiler holes.
sand and body fill JDL
refurb new wheels
wrap car.
clean engine bay
put on pretty engine bay cables and tubes
modify pfl vents wrap in carbon
install stereo + sound system
replace soft top
i'm sure there are other things I just cant think of right now.
best advice i can give you here is to put a number against each task. This way you can do them by priority. As i had an MOT recently i did all the important stuff first. It is tempting to do all the pretty stuff as you get more satisfaction when you stand back an admire, but the important stuff gives you peace of mind!
Then have a list of easy wins - Light bulbs, service, new tyres and fit them in when you have lost the will to do other things s:) :) s:)
Personally i would leave all the bodywork til last, as you want the car to be reliable through the winter months. Plus the weather is getting colder, so unless you have somewhere cosy to bodywork, i would leave it. Or pay someone to do it if they can do it cheap enough. Sometimes you just can't do everything, or the costs of bits nearly equal to paying someone to do it!!! s:o :o s:o
yeah my old man said the same thing. im lucky.....that i have a 12 month mot (clearly dodgy at time of purchase) so I have time to get it all in order.
well in order of importance I think this should be it lol I could be wrong lol.

Just a little niggle, you have 2 x no.5 and i would advise to prioritise fitting the springs as you will probably find they are broken anyway, and you should have them done before wheel alignment as the ride height will be different.
so I do! that's the laziness coming through, very good point.

Hopefully il have the doors and one rear quarter done
Good progress bud! U have done a great job on the wings. Must have been hard working around the arch to get it that nice.
Don't get me started the moment you do those arches everything goes wrong you seemingly are constantly stretching the crap out of the vinyl
Another buy just picked up a datesk ecu for £75 I think I just found myself another bargain
Where do u get all these bargains! U lucky man!
Any more progress with the wrap? Or u driving around in a multi colour motor s:D :D s:D
i have become quite partial to the blue and gunmetal but I need to buy some more but haven't gone round to buying it. swapping springs out soon and replace a seized calliper, i'm kind of attacking it as and when. But I might try and finish the wrapping over the weekend minus the bumpers as there is no way in hell I can wrap jdl bumpers...( nor fit them as my car doesn't have the ground clearance for them.
good decision, get the car reliable for winter. i think i will put my TS bumper and skirts on next year now too. If i break is in the winter i don't really want to be messing around trying to fix it.
I take it your car isn't your daily then?
It wasn't but it is now......got attacked by a vehicle transport lorry bye bye 3year old 1 series. your 65mpg will be missed. lol
I'm thinking with my settlement to get a gt86 :S

Great thread s:) :) s:) the wrap is coming on well. Real nice looking texture on it

Cheers bud hoping to finish it this weekend well nearly as my jdl bumper needs talc and a professional hand
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/24/63e01d625fa9e24ffdcf83758c1df061.jpg)
Fit the rear jdl not too bad still needs sanding and filling and wrapping...
Front to come
Nice to see it taking shape though
Can you take a picture from the side mate? I would love to know what it looks like from the side without any side skirts.
sure thing, I will get one up soon as.

She's now three colours gun black and blue and when I pick up the lid from roo silver too
Hmm, guess the shadow in that picture helps. But having the rear bumper and no side skirts doesn't look that odd?
Quote from: "Jrichards20"Hmm, guess the shadow in that picture helps. But having the rear bumper and no side skirts doesn't look that odd?
The rear bumper doesn't look bad. Having a front bumper and no skirts on the other hand looks very odd.
Yes I don't want the front bumper. I have the rear jdl bumper, but the front will be too low for me but wondering what it would look like with just the rear? Yay or nay?
Quote from: "Jrichards20"Yes I don't want the front bumper. I have the rear jdl bumper, but the front will be too low for me but wondering what it would look like with just the rear? Yay or nay?
I have this dilemma with my TS bumper. I need skirts else it just looks very weird!
If you look at the height difference between before and after the wheel the rear bumper really looks alright. Almost like a stock bumper with spats. So I would say yay! s:) :) s:)
I haven't got round to fitting the sides as it required drilling and sticking and stuff!! But hopefully il grab it from the old man wrap and stick em down!
I do feel that the jdl front looks a tad too aggressive I would of rathered some cleaner and softer like the td3000 duraflex
The wrap looks great in the side photo though
thanks man, up close its not as great but that's down to my lack of skills, but im hoping to finish it by November and to re-wrap it in march. hopefully anthracite matte grey s:) :) s:)
I love the JDLs if you want less prominent then TRC are nice.
I don't like the weird fin at the back, other than that I think the whole kit is pretty nice

You mean the way it swoops up? I like that the best hahahaha. Just goes to show how people differ in taste so much lol
Yeah it's just a it too much swooop for my liking but still good looking kit none the less

That'll be the drains then. They are probably blocked up! Get the side vents off, Pop the 3 or less fasteners at the front of the vent then slide it out.
You will see a drain with a flap. Lift the flap and stick a rod up its ar5e. Keep going in an out until water comes gushing out hahahahaha
Blocked drains causes water to collect in the rear bins.

Stu, can you resist this mischief? s:) :) s:)
Crazy pretty much laid it out for all to see. Nothing left to say.
Great east fix s:) :) s:) I was thinking of moving my turtle into the car.
Sorry for the disappearing act but a little bit of an update I have sanded down my 2 and will be spraying it satin white in the next month or so s:) :) s:)
Also have a set of deep dish banded steels on the way so it will be coming together quite nicely.

I have gone for some that a friend had on his MX5 comes out 1.5 inches further than stock so it gives the look I'm trying to achieve.

I do have plans for the lights to be in the style and even the indicators to go Audi sequential line ones ----->--- those ones.
oh im also going to fork out a large small fortune for an aw11 screaming chicken emblem for the front because they are super wicked cool.
