Russ' 1994 Hardtop 2GRFE V6 MR2

Fronts done, the edge of the tire was just touching my sway bar under full lock. I just measured and my 5mm spacers are actually 8mm. Anyone have a set of 5mm spacers they want to sell or trade?

[macatak]

your fronts are 35 offset correct

[immorality]

My fronts and rears are both +40

[macatak]

doh, mine are the 35's, that's why they don't rub(yet)

Since I have another autox on saturday I had Cam help me out. He welded in some new (and only slightly) larger mufflers...





The car is quieter now, but not a whole lot. There's definitely less raspy-ness to it, more muted, not really much change in tone. The old mufflers were definitely starting to degrade. If you pick one up you can hear lots of little bits bouncing around inside it.

If anyone is curious about what happened to the car last night, I accelerated rather briskly from a light and the engine torqued so much in the mounts that the large plastic drive by wire throttle position sensor hit the catch can and smashed the connector which put the engine into limp mode. Fortunately it was just the connector, and since we were at Canadian Tire I was able to zap strap it in place temporarily.

Which motor mounts do you have on right now?

[immorality]

Well, when I put the engine in I had urethane filled front and rear mounts. At the end of the driving season last year the front mount had the urethane & rubber separating and disintegrating, so I swapped in a 100% urethane front mount and the rear remained the same urethane filled one as before.

[Goopi]

Yeah, getting a Speed Source, Kirk, or Logic Motor Sports engine mount for the rear should do the trick.

Aww man, I want a GoPro even more now, lol. Bring it to the summer meet, and pull over once or twice to capture all the MR2s driving by

[immorality]

I've only had it a couple of days, but it's well worth it. I've already put the mounts on my helmet too, I just need to get out racing again.

[kakucaekz]

Where'd you get it and how much?

[immorality]

Best Buy in Bellingham, same price as from GoPro.com, but you can only find the outdoor edition in stores so I bought the suction cup mount for an extra $30.

Back on stands. Replacing the axles with ones that already have the CRW Stage 2 CV joint upgrade.
