lol remember seeing that run at york iirc and it went up in smoke rather spectacularily

Need to speak to my friend who's rebuilding my new '2 at the moment, but may have a spare sump gasket assuming its the same as the rev1?

Cheers,

Hi Guys, Selling my MR2 at the moment, and have just learnt that its been written off twice in its life :( Write offs were: cat d - 07/06/2002 cat b - 17/03/2003 Everywhere i look everything states that a car that is a cat B writeoff should not be back on the road, yet i have a V5, MOT and Tax for t...

Just had news that my new cars head is back from machine shop ready to fit to my car again now, so i really need to shift this one to pay the bill. So now on ebay :( if a club member buys it for the BIN price i'll include the 9 months tax :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2...

*bump*

fair bit of interest but come to nothing yet

Will have more pics up of engine bay etc tomorrow hopefully

I would have pm'd Jamie but my new car is currently sat at a friends garage with the head off being skimmed so not 100% i'll make it

Could bring my running '2 but with any luck that will be sold by then...

Just realised i havn't mentioned the trd quickshift and trd gearstick .... will hopefully get some better pics of the car tonight if it stops raining for long enough

Yea I was thinking of doing that. I think the problem is a really basic problem that someone with mechanical experience could sort out no problem. But obviously Im not that someone with a bit of mechanical experience so I dont know. Im hoping maybe I can get about £1500 from it at least? And even s...

I cant imagine it'll be anything other than your bulb for the brake light. You can usually tell by taking it out and looking at the filament to see if the metal is broken. Head light is pretty easy to do yourself. Which side is it? There are IIRC 2 screws beside the light unit, pop them up and take...

Black Rev1 Tubby with private plate of 'D11 POO' Up for sale as i have a new tubby, which blew its headgasket on me the day i got it :( so need to sell this to fund that :( Excellent runner, my only MR2 thats given me no engine problems at all :) 9 Months MOT, 9 months tax, however tax will be remov...

My '2 is just a plaything for the weekends too , i get access to a fleet car if i need a car for business reasons

It all depends where you go and also what HG you buy too. A standard Toyota one isnt much but a decent metal one (advised as it'll last longer and take more punishment) is over £100 alone IIRC. As for changing a HG on a Fiat and an MR2 - I would say there's a whole world of difference. My mates has...

Depending how the next couple of weeks pan out i may turn up, first imoc show just got a headgasket to fix and lots of other bits in the mean time :S

heh i used to have a turbo cinquecento so not too shy with mechanics, difference is it was all self taught progressing from minor jobs to fitting punto engines etc, and im not sure i could dive right into a MR2 HG change :oops: Just compression tested the engine and 1/2 are down at 6:1 with 3 and 4 ...

my mate blew his 3rd gear there in his white r32 edit: and still made a 14sec pass at 7x mph :p

Then just take it off and put the proper wheel nut on after?

Yep thats what i'd go with to be honest

As far as i can tell, you should be able to tap it out like that yes, and then new one will be thread > spline > flat round head, getting fatter as it goes, so if you pass it from chassis side outwards, until it locks (as long as you get the splines on right) then you can tighten up wheel bolt to pu...

I say snap his hand off. IIRC the usual price for HG work is around the £600 mark. Yeah iirc rogue's quote was for £750+vat Im tempted to give it a go myself but easy way out is very appealing :oops: plus will get my IC fitted that way too, not to mention mate owes me a favour so is going to come p...

Ok quick search looks like they go out towards the chassis rather than out forward like most studs :) 90942-02049 is the part number, not expensive iirc. blurb from my own experiences To change the wheel studs on the MK2 you just take off the calliper and rotate the hub round til the stud lines up w...
