I bought a set of nylon bushings from Becauseican, but they are too harsh- let in too much rearend noise. I plan to cut them to half thickness and just use them as shims for the stock bushings.

$200? Why don't i EVER get a bargain like that.

331,000 miles, and she is officially retired to the garage for full restoration. DD is now the '86 MR2, withy 125,000 miles.

I say this in every single "it won't start " thread: It's the CPS...Ok- I'm not always right, but I usually am. :) You say it's installed correctly- how did you come by this certainty? Do as Iboughtasupra says- check injectors and spark. However- If that does not solve the issue, try this...

He's back in GA. I talked with him the other day, and I'm going to try to make it as well, but I'll probably come in my AW11 instead of the MkIII, since it fits better with the MkII supra's, and everybody's seen my crummy '88 anyway. :)

Update- Today, I finally got install the rear motor mount, re-bled the clutch(much better), charged the A/C, insured and tagged the car. For the first time since Bill Clinton was President, the MR2 is road legal and roadworthy. The only work i still want to do to it, is: Tint the windows Get...

Looks like there's a slight bend, or kink to the line just after that fitting. If at all possible, I would straighten the top of the brake line first, then maybe see if I could get a jewler's flat screwdriver tip under the edge of the nail and pull it up.

Hard to belive that thing'll fit, being as tall as it is. But it's cool. What ratio is it?

Looks nice with those wheels for sure.

Thanks man. Yeah, my friends always asked me over the years- "why don't you just get rid of that thing?" I knew eventually I'd want to get it back on the road. Otherwise it woulda just ended up being another parts car in a junk yard.

Crap Chinese alarm with crap Chinese instructions = buy an American-made alarm. Done. New wheels on the car: New shift boot: Almost time to register it. :naughty:

Well, yesterday I finally found the shifter cable retainer clips, and installed them. Also reinstalled the POS exhaust that used to be on it. I left it sitting outside for over a year, with the 2-1 collector pointing up, so guess what- It was full of water. I shoulda taken a pic, but it was a...

Well, Today was D-Day, trying to get the car started. I installed both axles, hooked up the speedo cable, the last of the vac and coolant lines, And filled it with oil. All set, ready for attempted start: Well, I took out the EFI fuse, and started to crank it to build oil pressure...

So today, I had to go down to the pull-a-part to get a rear motor/torque mount, as mine is all rusted out and generally screwed. Last month, they put an '86 on the lot, and I seemed to have gotten there first, as everything was still on/in the car. Today, however, was a different story. The...

Oh definately. It *could* be as soon as tomorrow, but i still have to scrounge up a few odds & ends, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Replaced the slave cylinder today. Normally, Autozone or Oreilly's has the best prices on parts, But Pepboys surprised me with a $22 slave cylinder, when everyone else was asking $35. It was a LUK part(lsc225), but it's apparently OEM: But there's bigger news- I mated up the clutch...

Well, I got the struts in, and the fuel filter installed. Struts made a HELL of a difference in the rebound and compression. Doesn't look like I'll get to the engine install for a couple more days yet.

Yeah, Sorry there's been no updates recently, In fact, I haven't even been on SM much lately. But since last time I posted here, I've had the ex. manifold welded, bought a 2nd generation turbo muffler for the car, filled the motor mounts with urethane, rebuilt the throttle bracket assmebly...

I used two knock sensors out of a late 90's (i think) 4-runner. They use a different plug, but since I had those plugs as well, and they were in WAY better shape than mine, I just spliced them in. I've never had a KS code since.

Sounds like you might want to look into a Ford EDIS-6 system. They use a 35-0 tooth wheel and the whole system is pretty much self contained in the coilpack, EDIS box and crank sensor. http://trigger-wheels.com/store/index1.html
