    MC2 ARB Query

    dr_broon replied to MC2wo's topic in Chassis

    AFAIK, the only bolt on ones are either the MGZS or the mb6 one. Others would need modification.

    Cost a tenner in the end for the ones for the fronts. Hopefully get them on tomorrow if it stays dry after work (don't think it will...)

    Nice - some big changes to the interior mate
  4. dr_broon
    They're completely wrong to be honest - the vti kit has 4 pieces per side, and these have only got 2.
  5. dr_broon
    Grrrr... They're not the right ones are they! For some ordered from the local motor factors which is what I should have done in the first place. They're for an mb4...
  6. dr_broon
    Daft eh! The rears are still in though so no idea at what point they disappeared or what someone was thinking.

    Rattle investigations today. There's been some clattering from the front end since getting the car back. I thought that it was the exhaust rattling on the h brace, but yesterday i noticed that it had got much worse from the front passenger wheel. Whipped the wheel off and had a bit poke around. Seems that my low profile jack is only just low enough to clear the new skirts... Also, seems that the car hasn't lost its ability to lift the front and back when jacking the front. Could hear the back lifting before the front Found that there was a bit of play on the top wishbone, so torqued both sides up properly - think that they may have been torqued to 3 door settings. Also found that the retaining clips for the front pads aren't there, and they can move in and out along the radius of the disk (probably in other directions as well) - going for a test drive afterwards, the rattling goes away when trailing the brakes. So got some clips from euro car parts for about £1.50... Crazy that such a small thing can make it sound like the car is falling apart! When I was down there, there was a lush Sierra parked outside.

    Wheels have came up a treat mate!
  9. dr_broon
    Wheels look good mate - can see the different colours coming through.

    Got a dc2 intake with a k&n in and a dc2 throttle body... Just need the IM ported to match the tb

    This is how I managed to get it looking all those years ago... Haven't quite got that finish yet!
  12. dr_broon
    Nice!
  13. dr_broon
    Love what you've done to this ek - plenty of nice work there.
  14. dr_broon
    Yes it is mate, looks great when it's clean and the sun hits it. Shame that it wasn't sold over there.

    Started cleaning up the engine bay - got the autosol out and gave the cover a bit of a spruce up as it was looking a bit tired. Also started cleaning up the mani - just did one pipe though for now, and that needs quite a bit more polishing. Also, there's some new blue ht leads in there too replace the old blue ht leads. Had it so long now I'm having to replace mods that are starting to look tired

    Welcome along mate and thanks for sharing your mb3 I like what you've done with her - @Davewill be interested in you double din conversion Seems like you've been through a lot in the last four years!
  17. dr_broon
    Nor me... I think I might have imagined it
  18. dr_broon
    I've never seen mine too be honest I know Jake @KiNK43 had his out years ago on his old mb6
  19. dr_broon
    @noodelsam I remembering that UK 99 spec is the same as jdm as well?
  20. dr_broon
    Purple power!

    Just thinking actually, it might work out cheaper for a repair by a local auto radiator company if you can find one.. These are some before and after pics of my heater bypass pipe (new one wasn't available).
  22. dr_broon
    I'd be surprised if it was different to the rover 400 / mgzs one.. But it's not guaranteed to be the same. Would be less of a risk if it were cheaper https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID003155 https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-JEF000080P Might make finding a second hand one easier though. One thing I notice is that this one is only for the rover 400 / 45 / Mg ZS and not the 200 /ZR. This makes me think that the ek one will be different from the mb, but again, that's just a hunch. Would anyone else know for sure?

    Shiny. ...

    No worries mate. The knob is a razo one. I had one for years but the leather went all tacky from the car being damp, so I got a new one recently. The trim is the standard vti trim I think, although there may have a carbon effect one as well.
  25. dr_broon
    I've just taken a few photos that might help understand where things are.. Clips on each side towards the front. If you put for fingers in at the front, but at each side, you should be close enough to release them without stressing the trim. These locating tabs at the back mean you need to lift from the front These are the slots the locating tabs go into
