New toys.

Momo gear ****: What a satisfying addition! Looks the **** feels great in the hand and the shift seems shorter. Also allows you to talk about ***** with your colleagues.

Prodrive springs [MY01]: Wheels now look like they're the right size for the arches, ride's not too bumpy but is noticeably firmer. Feels very sure footed but I've not had a chance to push it yet.

Good work! Momo
Good work! Prodrive

jack, i've seen a couple of momo gear ***** - v cool - have you got the momo shiny aluminium look, or the dull one (a tenner cheaper i thnk)

i think the dull one (or matt, or whatever!) matches the steering wheel better - must buy

How much lower did the springs drop your car?

Do you need a geometery set up after fitting

Lowered by 20/25mm, Springs were £160.00 'ish available from your main dealer. Geometry is essential and settings are given to the dealer. Rear wheels seem to have a noticable lean that I didn't notice before.

Nice ***** guys

This is mine:



Personally I think it's great to use and very good to click through the gears with the quickshift...oh, and i do find myself strokeing it in traffic jams

Only IMHO though

I've the same **** (Race Air Leather). I do find it works loose though if itget too cold - had to keep tightening the allen bolts (and now I've lost the allen key- DOH).

Any tips for fixing it in place - thread lock or something?

Lunchie - Same problem occasionally here mate. I just keep the allen key in the glove box and give it a tweak now and again to tighten it up.

I found it a bit tricky to get to all 3 grub screws too because the collar sits tight against the rim that holds the gaitor up.

Haven't have to touch it for a while now tho

Cool

My ****'s tiny, but it is an MR2 after all

Fancy a new ****, and have seen one in a shop near me for £16. Doesn't look cheap either like they usually do for that money. May ask if they will PX my **** - it was cleaned this morning

Lunchie/Dunk,

So you both have a similar problem ~ your ***** just suddenly coming off in your hand unexpectedly.

I guess some prodding with an allen key would delay this for most folks.....

Just gave mine a good thrashing and it's still stiff. And with the new undercarriage the ride was superb.
