Breaking my 1989 mr2 due to never getting it running right and losing interest. All parts available and willing to post most parts. It has a full janspeed exhaust system

I'm interested in the ignition coil if it passes the test shown in the BGB (I already have three failed ones). Primary coil resistance between 0.5 and 0.7 ohm (measure between the negative and positive terminal) and secondary coil resistance between 11000 and 16000 ohm (measure between big central and positive terminal).

I'm also looking for an undamaged triangle trim bit that covers the side mirrors mounting screws. Passenger side

You'll need a good quality meter and leads to measure that kind of resistance accurately ;)

Didn't know that, might be why I have three "failed" coils already :s.

I also need all the switches in the drivers door, to open the windows, lock the car etc.

Put your meter on resistance, join the leads together and see what it reads. The cheaper meters can read 0.2/0.3 (or higher) ohms. even a good quality meter is liable to read 0.1 ohms. So if your failed coils are failing on the primary resistance and are (for example ) around 0.5/1 ohm out of spec they may well be OK. It might just be that the meter/leads combination is making them read out of spec.

I am looking for a strut rod and bushings for the right rear passenger side if you are willing to part ways with it

I need one of the plastic caps for over the rear suspension mount if you've got one spare?

How much are you looking for your exhaust?? And would you post to Northern Ireland? Cheers.

Sorry just got all these messages. I've managed to get the car running so I won't be breaking it now

Fensport have none in - are you sure Toyota don't stock these, I bought a brand new one from them a few years ago.

Rear brake calipers and handbrake cable!

I've seen both of these for sale on eBay - handbrake cable http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-MR2-MK1-AW11-REAR-HANDBRAKE-CABLE-NEW-x-1-/270424210046?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3ef689fa7e - just first of a list available, and caliper - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-MR2-MK1-Left-or-right-rear-brake-caliper-handbrake-e-brake-SPARES-/121398999329?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AMR+2%7CPlat_Gen%3AMK+I&hash=item1c43f1b921 - there are others listed too and you could always contact the breakers directly to see what's available :)

Oh for goodness sake! Liam, can't you mod the title of this thread advising it's no longer going to be broken? Please?
