mk1

I am getting ready to rebuild the rear calipers for my '87 MK1, and bought two new aftermarket pistons with which to do so. As I'm sure many of you know, these pistons do not come with the internal parts that come with the stock rear caliper pistons. My question is, how do I go about removing...

Hi everyone, Just completed the a 2zz conversion my Mr2 and now am moving onto the suspension portion of the restoration, followed by the bodywork. So I've been searching google images for quite some time looking for these decals I have on my hood, engine cover and trunk and have had no luck...

Hi everyone, I've been using this forum for the last six years as an incredibly helpful resource on figuring out what to do with my AW11s. I've only ever owned 80's MR2s - my first car was a 1986 AW11 that my dad and I rebuilt when I was a junior in high school. Six years later, I've moved on to...

I bought this baby new in 1986 in California and brought it with me when I moved to Canada in '99. Always been an MR2 fan but it's time to make room for an electric car. Runs well and still in frequent use. 266,000 *miles* (bought in California, remember). Black exterior with black/grey...

Has anyone seen a mint set of these for sale recently anywhere, or would be willing to part with one? I've been searching high and low for a matching material to have one reupholstered and have come up with ZERO answers as to if that center silver trim velour even exists anywhere (color...

Does anyone know where this brace belongs or what it is for? When I found it, one end was bolted into a hole in the back of my crankcase, kind of near to the transmission side. The other end wasn't bolted to anything at all (!), so I removed the whole brace and have been driving without it...

Hello. It's been a long time since I've been active on this board. I have a 1988 MR2 SC that has been converted to turbo. The SC is no longer on the car, but I have all the parts still. Basically, due to some life changing circumstances, I'm moving (and selling the house) and the car, along...

Hey guys, New to the forum, but have been lurking for a while. This place has, and is going to continue to be, a fantastic resource. I figured I would contribute what I am learning through my first attempt at restoring a 28 year old car. Backstory: I learned to drive standard on my Dad's 1986...

New to the board- I am an the middle of swapping a blacktop into and '86. Ended up finding out the fuel pump was bad, so I pulled the gas tank down with some help (Thanks Davegt27!) and am now trying to test the fuel sending unit while I have it out. I spent a lot of time cleaning rust off of...

I just replaced my alternator the other day and when I put it back in there are two plugs missing its partner. I took apart the wiring harness with a bundle of about 9 wires and I couldn't find a home for two of them. If anyone has an idea or know where it should go please let me know. Here is...

Hi guys, My silvertop swapped mk1 is having issues. I currently burn oil, at a rate of about a quart a week. I say burning because i can smell burning oil when idling, however when I did a compression test each cylinder measured at about 180 +/- 1. I've checked my coolant, but there's no oil in...
