The tailgates are both the same. The accident has thrown the rear of the car out of position and hence it does not fit.

The key was not cut properly. That happens when it was not done as it should. Try applying some WD40 with straw to the lock inside; it might help

Being installed in kit car, is the original sump still on the engine? If so, 4.6 l is correct info...

Which state in USA? Puma won't last long in NY, MA etc because of their salty winters. Arizona on the other hand would be perfect! Where I live, we have salty and very salty winters (road gets covered with mixture of gravel and salt to prevent freezing, or to promote melting of snow and ice). If yo...

You might as well cut your gasket out of thick paper...

The first 3 items that spring to my mind: coilpack, the plastic termostate housing and the infamous heat control valve. After that it all depends on the condition of the car in question, but these 3 items I would replace anyhow, just for the piece of mind as the question is not if any of those is go...

Worth checking as well: clutch switch (on top of clutch pedal, tells PCM if clutch was depressed) might be important in this case...

If that doesn't materialise, or you start running for cover (after being quoted :wink: ) here is the range of normally obtaineable Alcantara. https://www.alcantara.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Alcantara-cartella-colori-automotive.pdf Mind you: the FRP was custom made and you won't be able to find ...

Yep, looking mighty with these 17's on!

Looking very nice! Do you have a head on image to see the stance a bit better?

Ouch, so sorry....

Yes, I got 5 years out of a FeBi HCV unit...

There is a procedure to bleed the ABS unit by diagnostic equipment if it traps some air. However, if you fill the system properly and pressurize it while adding the brake fluid, it should drive the air out

You just pull the handles out of the rubber grommets holding it in place. After that you can take them through the carpet

Using feeler gauge should be possible to measure the gap. At least at front as it is doable there without problems. If you have replaced sensors, have you cleaned the hubs so the sensor can go in all the way? The rings could be deformed, it is very easy to do when you are taking out the sensors whic...

The Forscan option is the easiest way of diagnosing. (https://forscan.org) it is free. You will need an OBD reader. Any cheap chinese clone (USB recommended) will work. The complete how to is on web page of Forscan...

No, I am as well. Would like to see images. IIRC the poster has to post more than two posts to be allowed to put images on...?

Checked battery voltage when turning over and the battery despite showing 12.6v wasn't cranking enough. Sometimes the voltage is OK, but current needed is not there. I had the same situation with my honda. It was giving 12.7V, but not turning the engine. Tester showed it had 120 Amps out of declare...

It won't turn over and when the key is in the third start position the needles don't run round the dials?

If that was the case, that was the sign of a flat battery. Is the battery OK?

Not done yet, but all planned for!

I would recommend using the EHPAS from Toyota MR2, the later model. It is all in one unit with ECU incorporated and you get to keep the steering rack as it is. Check my thread for details on that

afaik it needs to re-perform the test to put the light out

Yes, you need to reach 20 kph for the system to perform self test and then it will put the light out if all is as it should be

Wrong button, no post!

Yes, the system monitored that front wheels have been spinning, but the rears not. ABS does not know that the car was jacked up and so concludes that the rear sensors are potentially dead. Hence the warning light. Once you reach 20 kph speed, the ABS will trigger self test and erase the DTC and put ...
