Millhouse Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi Ed. Yes it looks to be in great condition. Nice find! I'll be tuned in to follow your progress. How many kms on it?

Millhouse Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 98kms, wow that's low alright. Man what a find. Well done! Haven't seen one with side decals like that before either. They must be pretty rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Very nice, are Stacked an import company? Also I recommend fitting some reflective stuff on to your wheels or something to make yourself a bit more noticeable, not for decoration but I know of someone who almost got t-boned in an AW11 because his one (midnight blue also) was hard to see by the other guy.

Swampo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thats probably more of an issue with the other guy than colour of car. problem is bruv there's many of these other guys... seeing a car at night that is no taller than 1.3m... dark... and fairly old lights... easier to crash into than your run of the mill SUV.

0R10N Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Nick, AW11s are the sort of car that keep sucking you back in for more. Very nice, are Stacked an import company? Also I recommend fitting some reflective stuff on to your wheels or something to make yourself a bit more noticeable, not for decoration but I know of someone who almost got t-boned in an AW11 because his one (midnight blue also) was hard to see by the other guy. Can't say I've considered that before, now that you've mentioned it. Then again all cars are practically invisible in the dark, hence the need for lights Actually, a friend suggested remaking the stripey "MR2" decals down the sides in a reflective metallic colour, which could actually work twofold. How about white wheels? I have a set of white Linea Sport turbofans kicking around. Incidentally, those stripes are a rare factory option, have only ever seen two of them on the interwebs before and none in the flesh until I got mine. Definitely makes it stand out from the rest, and they essentially turn the car two-tone anyway, haha. Yup Stacked are an export business, they procure car parts and half cuts out of Japan mainly.

NickTheFox Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Glad to hear that OS freight went smoothly. Hopefully the sway at works out for you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Oh wow I was looking at that sway bar on saturday and lowling at its chopstick spec diameter Didnt realise it was mr2 one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Yeah it's chopstick spec as all hell, but having one makes a big difference on a mid-rear car! I'm hoping to pick up a 14mm O/D stock supercharged one, or replace both front and rear with aftermarket options (you can get up to 30mm which may be overkill). OSGC freight service for the win, cheers to Manu for hauling all the bits up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I thought you could run SW20 rear bars on AW11s for a cheap upgrade instead of going aftermarket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
