The relay should be in the engine fuse box. If you look in the lid there will be a plan of the fuse/relay layout. I'm not 100% on what it will be labled with, I'll go and have a look in the Gen 6.
Back in a mo.
Scuse the blurryness it's cold out.
It's the blue one, bottom right, labeled ST

Have you cleaned up the earthing points on the engine? This can often be an overlooked cause of electrical wierdness.
-
A relay is a magnetically operated switch, with the magnetic force being generated by an electrical current through a coil which pulls the switch closed.
The coils may degrade so the force does not keep the switch closed very well or the contacts on the switch may get corroded so not make a very good circuit. The switches can also get sticky and stiff.

Lol That is an epic MR2, twin jet engines. There are vids of it on youtube on the salt flats in the USA.
There was a tri turbo jet Mk1 MR2 built over there as well.
That outcome really sucks Simon, they should have just binned the whole thing, total waste of time.
-
Good luck Simon, go kick arse!

can i have your old ones then
They only cost me about £6 a set so they may as well be replaced.

New NGK coppers every service for me, so every 6k/6 months.

I used EBC Ultimax on my ST182 and now have them on my ST202, never had any issues apart from the bloody dust, good bite from cold.
I have EBC greens on the HI Spec 4 pot fronts on my MR2, they're pretty damn good but then that's probably down to the big ol' calipers as well.
Pagids are fantastic, they used to do 'fast road pads' which were relatively inexpensive but I think they've stopped making them.
-
I just used a bit of black insulation tape.
-
How much would you want for them Shaun?
-
Cheers Shaun, email on it's way to them.

The naffness of a full cover has crossed my mind Rich, I'd love to see a picture of what the original centre covers actually looked like but I've not found any pictures of this model of Enkei on t'interweb. I suppose at least that confirms how bloody rare they are.
I think the Hilux ones would be the only cap big enough to fit the hole, gen 7 ones are too weeny.
-
These are the evil items in question:
The driveshaft pokes out about 15mm:
Close up of the lip that I think the original cover clipped to:
These would be spot on if it wasn't for the driveshaft:
-
Lol Aye where there's a will and all that.
The caps will need to be cylindrical, I'll get a measurement and some piccies at lunch time. They will need to be a bit like the HiLux Surf centre caps if you know what they look like.
-
Sometimes I regret buying these damn wheels. lol
-
Lol
The centre hole ID is 65 mm, I found some lovely carbon centre caps off a Bimmer that would fit but my joy was short lived as they need to be pretty deep due to the end of the drive shaft poking through. Doh!
Hmmmm

Cheers all.
Unfortunately if it's thicker than 1mm Ade the disk will sit proud of the wheel , if I wanted to use a thicker disk then I'd need to get a lip machined into it and the price would go up a fair bit I reckon.
I've looked at ultra low profile screws but the heads still going to stick out by 2mm. The other alternative is 2 PU, a fairly hard setting 2 part polyurethane adhesive but I don't know how well it will adhere to the aluminium.
I suppose if I went for a steel disk then I could tack weld the clips onto the back but I don't want to add too much extra weight to the wheel and if a 1mm steel disk came off the car at speed it would be likely to take someones head off.
Aaaaaargh! I need something to go in there as I don't want the ends of the drive shafts exposed to the elements as they are at the moment.
Clingfilm?
-
Unfortunately I think they're steel clips, and you can't weld steel to ali.
-
Cheers Ade, I may well take you up on that one.
At the moment I've ordered some VW clips and am just about to order eight 1mm x 145mm Ali Disks to be Laser cut (extras for prototypes
).Hopefully the VW clips will be the right size and I can figure out a way to attach them to the back of the disk without it looking rubbish (they rivet on).
The clips:
-
If it'll hold em on that'd be a good idea.
I have found some VW Beetle hubcap retaining clips that might work but I'll need to coat the metal with some rubber or similar.
-
Ok since my wheels have no centre covers and I cant find anything that will fit I've decided to make my own, they're a stupid size (145mm disk).
So I need to find some clips similar to those on centre caps, anyone know what these are called?
If that fails I'm open to ideas. I have considered using polyurethane adhesive but it would probably pull the paint off the whell when they're removed. Lol
-
If it fits the ST205 it will fit the ST202. The UFI oil filters listed by Opie for the 205 & 202 have the same part numbers.
-
Fingers crossed.

I had white smoke from my MR2 when the piston rings went, only smoked off the throttle though.
What came in the Post Today?

A nice shiny set of Magnecor KV85s, dizzy cap tomorrow and the old tart will be running again. Woot!
Yay! Cap and rotor arm are now sat on my desk.
