On, off, and Sports (moving) mode, which will turn the fog lights into the direction of your steering wheel.

you turn left, foggie turns left.
you turn right, foggie turns right.

amazing huh?

The night i discovered this feature i was amazed

does anybody know how it works? ie: how do the foglights know which way you are steering?

There is a small semi circular reflector piece behind the bulb in the light.
This can turn left or right, reflecting the light in a different direction. The actual fog lights do not move.

I would imagine it would have some sort of sensor on the steering column or something, which would tell the lights where to go.

you gotta remember, ive driven fwd / 4wd's

im USED to understeer...

ive never owned (bar the rona) a rwd... that can oversteer (obviously that gets rid of the rona)....

and the gf will kill me if i learn myway... throw it into the deep end then fix it as the shit hits the fan.... because if i do screw it up... no more mr2...

and can you give me any ACTUAL specs? quarter mile time, 0-100 etc... heaps of sites say differnet stuff...

any idea where i can get a stock gearknob + gear boot? Revheads on holiday ^_^. basically anyone else on here i can pm?

just wanna make the HOLE car bling again, gearknob is slightly worn (stock, 90,000km's does that), and the gear boot has a small rip. Steering wheel has very little wear.... and it wouldnt have been changed, its got an airbag

Yes you will, if you write off what is a quite rare car, I personally will come down there and beat ten shades of shit out of you.

New parts for it should be still fairly available, but Warwick will be your best bet, the local Toyota dealer will ream you for those bits.

i know ^_^ theres not enough of them to begin with.

so when does warwick come back.

oh and how hard is it to change the foggies bulbs to Xenon little buggers?

i know we were gonna give it a go on dj's mr2 but my god, theres no screws on them..... i was thinking it could just as easy as changing a park light bulb, but NOOO its on the bloody other side.

He gets back on the 14th, the lying cheating bastard.

I think they're a sealed unit arent they? I've never had em, so not so sure.

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 1:58 pm

haha maybe i will never come back!! :twisted:

dunno bout the boot cosmo, not easy to get... new will be $$$
as for the shifter, how about a gen 3 (shorter throw) and TRD knob for around $110?

i fly back 14th back at work on the 16th

but dont expect probmt service, will take a whiel to get back into work mode! :lol:
