How is the brake feel on the 4runner MBC? I eventually wanna get the 93 brakes, but it's super hard to find the 93 BMC.

So like two weeks ago I said I was going to re-tape my ITR lips....which I fiiiiinaly got around to today. I forgot that to take the rear lip off I either had to take my rear wheels off or the bumper. I chose to take my wheels off so I could give them another cleaning and apply some Jetseal that I picked up last week.

Oh yeah and my front lip is cracked after like a month of driving :failed:

Sweet. So yeah Spugen, let me know when you're getting rid of it. Hopefully I'll have the money haha.

I have no previous experience driving a 93+ MR2, so I can't tell you.
Have driven a 91 MR2, and it feels like poo.

My current brake setup feel like driving a Track package 350Z. Stiff pedal, and great modulation under hard braking. Feels better than a 240sx w/ Z32 Brakes + braided lines.

Heel+toe:
Low speed takes practice. Requires much less pedal pressure compared to stock lines.
High speed feels great. No "dead pedal" feel. Example: Your foot is down hard, and braking harder isn't really doing anything. It's not brake fade, it's just shitty clamping force.

Daily driving:
Overkill. But completely fine.
I locked up a few times braking and hitting bumps, but found out that it was a dirty ABS sensor. (Like Renfrew Nbound, at Grandview)
Emergency situations: Stops HARD. Girl was not happy when she was putting on her contacts.

Took out recaro seats, put back in stock :C lol

Um why?

Check out my thread, then you'll know why. But today I got my carbon fiber center console piece, gonna slap that on :3

oops double post

I like your wheel colour :D

Called a tow truck when the 325i lost all it's coolant.

Plastic radiator cracked?

Frost plug blew apparently. Also says my Water pump is toast, as well as thermostat. I was in the middle of diagnosing some cooling system issues. Not impressed. But i'm in a rut. Need the car this weekend. Another $1000 gone. Shit.


Nothing like owning two broken vehicles.

A friend of mine with some professional equipment spent a full day waxing and cleaning the disgusting grime off from all over the car. Now it looks amazing, minus the blemishes that you can see clearly now. Bittersweet.

Also Removed the Subaru badge from the right side of the trunk and the STi rally sticker that came with the car. I think it looks way cleaner. I'm still using a potato iPhone 4, sorry. :p

Next will be the door handles.

damn man, sad to hear.

to be fair, i'm a bigger guy too but i've only sat in recaros for like 5-10 minutes at a time.

i have a bride ergo2 at the moment and if i drive for more than 35 min, my ass starts to get pins and needles. I tough it out since the seat looks so damn good to look at. :concentrate:

yeah, went on a 3 hour drive with them and it just didn't gel. but it looked so damn good....

I'll probably try the bride seats out, I hear from friends they're cheaper and wider. Maybe even RSX cloth grey to match the stock interior.

dude that looks awesome.

Pre-resin'd CF? or Vinyl?

+1

Same experience.

BBK = cool for show cars and/or track. Stops on a dime.
But for practical, daily use = never again. The 93+ factory setup is awesome, even by today's standards.

Will report back with my findings once BBK setup changes hands :concentrate:

I hate admitting this, but the stock brakes on the 93+ MR2 were better than the E36 M3 and my E91. :pokerface:

:lawl:

Mounted the FMIC tonight. Will deal with the pipes tomorrow.
