mr2 alternator removal

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Have a look on ebay and add some tigras to your watch list. see how quickly they are selling and how much for.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

So working to a worst case scenario, is €1000-€1200 enough for your MR2?

Looks like you aren't going to join the realms of chav motoring this week then. Once you have your alternator sorted you should bung it on le ebay and see what you get (remembering auction charges are about 10%).

Good news :) you do realise the trim in your car isn't real wood ;)
You just have to decide if you want to sell it now it is working properly.

trim isnt, head is :lol: .. it is a very nice drive, but must be sold as a series of late payments & general lack of work has dented funds..
