It is not for a car but a chair that is finished in white fake leather, and needs to be black.

MR2 GTi-16

OK so i should get this thread off to a start i guess.

As you may know i picked up the car on monday, although i am pleased with it, there is already a growing list of things to be done to it. Firstly the car has sticky front brakes, so these will be replaced as soon as the new ones turn up. This will also involve a caliper rebuild, so that should be fun.

I have also found out that the car doesn't like to idle when cold, so it needs the revs holding up for about 30 seconds until it will idle by itself. I will be looking into this and with a bit of technical help here and there we should have her running nicely soon enough.

The car had a new cambelt fitted just 6000 miles ago, so i am happy with that, but there is a good service due, along with new altenator belts as they squeal when cold.

The next thing on the list will be to sort out some sounds in it. The car came with a double din tv/dvd thing fitted to it, but it doesnt seem to power up. I recently bought an alpine ida-x200 head unit, so i think this will be fitted once i buy and single din converter panel. The head unit doesn't have cd capabilities, but i bought it for its ipod control, although i do still like to have cd's, so i will be buying a cd changer to fit in at some point.
The aerial fitted to the car is broken as some yob has snapped it off. There was a replacement in the boot, but it is not genuine, so i will be searching for an original aerial to fit to it.
Once i have that up and running we will look into speakers. From the looks of things there may already be aftermarket amps and speakers fitted. When me and rabster were trying to work out why there was no power to the current head unit we found that the standard iso loom for the speakers wasnt connected, and he thinks there are rca leads in there. When i get home from work tonight i will be pulling the dash apart and taking a look at what we have to work with.

I am going to leave it at that for now, otherwise i will just have a thread full of writing. I will get plenty of pictures as i go, as i want this well documented. For now we just have a few pics stolen from the other thread
