Right then well today / yesterday I've been getting very angry with the car and the issues with the suspension geometry

Not only are the wheels 8.5J wide but they're ET36 all round (MR2's are meant to be staggered) so there's a issue there
In addition the wheels after being removed from the hub have no spigot rings so another issue there as all the weight is going onto the wheel studs
Third issue is that the wheel studs on the front are longer than the rears without the spacers on, they won't fit with OEM bolts so I now need to source OEM studs which I have as well as new bolts seeing how these ones are cheap tat made from Ali instead of steel and have managed to round off on one of the hubs

So after 3 hours of trying to remove the stuck nut off of the hub and finally managing the car is now unsafe to drive until I receive the new bits so I can smash the studs through and fit the new ones

Apart from that the back of the car looks better now it's not got an ET of 11 due to the 25mm spacers on the rears which is good, Once I've got the new studs for the front I'll possibly put the 5mm spacers I've recently bought onto the rear to pull the wheels out slightly then

I've also removed the yellow fog tints as well and think I prefer it plain although I'll happily get the MTEC Golden Style bulbs to replace them for the more JDM look whenever I want it compared to all the time







More as and when hopefully unless I get no joy from the previous owner in which case I'll be getting my 6 back
