Metal glaze is easy to sand if you're wanting a very thin coat filler to use. Any degreaser should work well, I tend to not dilute mine much and use a soft or medium bristle brush to break the grime away. Don't forget to plug your holes if power washing.

 

ok great. yea i plan to put some on my finger and wipe over the tiny dimples if that is possible. nothing crazy. yes i will be plugging all the holes before i wash and while i paint. thanks ill grab grease lightening and get to work.

my tie rod ends are at the post office. ill grab them tomorrow. maybe i can power wash this thing this weekend.

 

get rid of those power steering lines while you are at it , replace with kevlar/Pro AN lines, saves a little weight

 

i thought about that for about 2 seconds. i have not really thought about it much more. i honestly do not even know where to start with that type of mod. i would be interested in it for sure. i believe i saw ToxicFab do something like that. but i thought it was for show.

 

Go with an mr2 electric power steering unit!

 

if there was a kit i could buy i might do that. but we all know evodan cant wire up a damn boost gauge. i hate wiring. i know David was thinking of doing one but i do not think it ever came around.

 

I have all of the required part numbers and such but it's on my other laptop (broken screen)

 

i sent david a message LOL. maybe we can get something going for this. do you recall if it would drop weight?

 

I doubt it'll shave weight but it will definitely free up power.

 

Mount the mr2 pump in the trunk... Better weight distribution

 

Dan do the mr2 pump!

 

Mind posting it in this thread for the world? A PM will suffice too.

 

We will see what happens. It needs to be pretty basic and work with my stock ecu/F-Con. I will prob mount the pump right on the fire wall under the intake manifold.

 

The main pressure feed line ( the big rubber one coming from pump) isn't the lightest thing out there and can be replaed with -6 AN line ( power steering specific hose has to be used).. the return line from the rack, can be regular pro lite hose, or you can bend your own out of aluminum , just like the stock set up..

What year mr2 does the electric power steering come in ? Reason I ask is that i have a customers 91 turbo mr2 in for work at the moment and check rather easily.

 

It's been 6 months or so since I actively collected data but let me see if I can copy all of my data from the other laptop to my mac. I have everything from mr2 part numbers to install tutorials, other pumps with reservoirs on the pump itself for a clean setup, and even pigtails to make the install easier. I honestly may use the one with the reservoir built in and mount it under the intake manifold with an electric water pump.
