[MR2] update on mk1 repairs, roadtrip

[ron ewing]

    Hi guys.  Now that I have time to catch my breath from the craziness of 
the last few weeks, I thought I'd post an update on a couple of problems I'd 
sought help for a while back.
    First, the low pedal on my 85 turned out to be the usual culprit after 
all - the master cyl was bad, even tho it had a firm pedal, no signs of a 
leak.
    Second, the frt sus clatter on my 88 was mostly loose top strut rod 
nuts, which I'd thought of, but didn't have time to check out myself.  There 
was a little play in the rack bushing, so I had my friendly mechanic replace 
that while he was at it = no more noise, and a nice tight suspension again.
    This was esp nice since I took it for my trip from OH down through the 
NC and N GA mountains this past weekend on some of the prettiest, twistiest 
roads anywhere.  Great fun in an mr2!   Thanks again for the suggestions, 
and I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!  I am personally thankful for 
discovering the mr2 and this group.  :)  Cheers, Ron.
