Tubby zorsts dont fit n/a's!

[Bryn]

Really aint seen that purple beast goin about i will have to look out for that. No dice with the tubbie exhausts then. guess i'll have to find and after market one for mine then. cant find much just the mongoose and blitz NUR. i was thinkin i wanna stick with the twin but dont know what the mongoose sounds like.

The twos up in glasgow at the mo with me. Uni. FYI. but i will keep my eyes peel for yours next time im down

I'm in Derby/Notts at the moment.. my two only comes up for weekends to visit the folks..

Regarding the zort, I would recomend going to a place like PowerFlow or something like that and getting a custom zorst made up for about the same price as a Mongoose, you get to choose how loud it will be and what the pipes will look like.

thats what I'm doing and you end up with a unique zorst.

[Bryn]

Sweet Man, i thought that would cost alot more. You get to choose volume and pipes eh? that F***in Cool.

What about wheels. Do 18s fit on a two and what do they do to the handelin. I've had the car for about 2 months now and see it aint hard to get them i bit sideyways. Do 17s look alright aswell as they are cheeper.

Cheers for all the info guys. :D :) :D

18's do go on and look very sweet.

here is Bibbs car,

I'm just gonna go for 17's when I can afford it, but they can look a little lost on a body kit.

Also, die hard MR2 owners say that handling goes downhill if you put anything bigger than 16's on.

Bryn !!! You onbly live 6miles from me!! I live in Galashiels!!

How about going custom with your exhaust?? Then you can get exactly what you like.

[Bryn]

Yeah man ive seen your car alot . Damn sweet man. Man i read about the smash that sucks :censor: i feel for ya.

Yeah i think im gunno go custom like. Im up at uni at the mo in glasgow and there is a dealership near me. Drivers i think. so ill head in and have a word with them.

Im still stuck about wheels i dunno what to go for, 18s or 17s. i heard that 17s are better for the handling but dunno what they would look like size wise. What you got on your Jim they look good in terms of size?

Cheers

mr2s look excellent with 17s. not too big, not too small. if you lower the car, it would look especially superb. heres my car with 17" lexus wheels

If you don't go custom I would defo recommend the buddyclub racing spec exhaust. Failing that a mongoose ( I used to havea mongoose ).

My wheels are 17's. I would like 18's but supposedly on the handling side of things they're not as good. Personnaly I've not driven with 18's so I can't say if this is the case or not.

[Bibbs]

18"s are fine .. I've had stock 15", Enkei 16" Split rims, BBS 17" and now BK 18".

15"

16"

17"

18"

Ha ha, it keeps the front end down at high speed ..

I suppose you can give a bit more throttle through the twisties aswell. :)

[Billy C]

I thought you was housing a pop up- ultra wide screen tv on your bonnet :D

[Bibbs]

Through the twisties it's not so effective as the downforce is relational to you speed. I mainly notice it in the wet .. in monsoon weather the front tryes now don't aquaplain like they used to.

And the 7" telly is in the dash :)

So any day with a "Y" in it in the UK.

Exactly .. with my suspension setup the car was very good in the dry .. Just saw it for sale and though it may help get round Nur' a bit quicker ..

[EarL]

Got my Koni's set mid to "shake your fillings out" at the moment 'coz it's dry. What a difference! Roll on summer B)
