toyota mr2 mk2 uprights
Pseicho - 7/1/05 at 10:18 PM

Where can i find any dimensions from the front and rear uprights from the toyota mr2 mk2?

I've been searching the internet (and this forum) all day but I can't find anything

I also need dimensions of the 3s-gte engine (with everything needed to run installed)

ok I found something:

http://www.bryanf.com/pc/reports/suaarmtravel.htm

it says Kingpin angle: 5.625°
that's what I needed to know.

But I don't know if this information is true, and if it's for front or rear or both.

So can anyone verify this?

If it mentions the kingpin angle, then that's for the front.

The MR2 uses McPherson struts on the back and front. If you were considering using the uprights in a double wishbone suspension like the locost, you will need to fabricate something to carry the upper balljoint, and you then have the choice of designing it to achieve whatever kingpin angle you want (within reason).
