Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Heater Pipes from Hell

Good to hear from you Pete.

Can you text me how much you would charge to do the repair for me and also if you can do it at my place. Bit worried to drive it to you for obvious reasons.
Thanks

[Mk2] [Turbo] Heater Pipes from Hell

Hi Guys, So one of my heater pipes have cracked, giving me a water leak. I know this is a common fault. So I looked around and I can see 3 solutions. 1. go to Toyota and spend a fortune getting it replaced with new and I know they now put something in place to stop it happening again. 2. Get replace...

I last had an MR2 6 years ago and used to come to all the events, IMOC, MR2DC etc and did promise myself a couple of shows this year if I could ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Ongoing troubleshooting to get the car firing up

ITS ALIVE

So got the car fired up, engine sounds sweet, no knocks or lumps.

seems to be overfueling a little but will sort that.

So next is filling up the coolant, sort the brakes and replace brake/clutch fluid.

I think we have a winner.....

[Mk2] [Turbo] Ongoing troubleshooting to get the car firing up

Hi All, As you may know I am currently rebuilding a rev 3 turbo. I had an issue in that the car would not start, discovered that the ignitor was missing completely. I have now installed the ignitor and it still will not start. I did not replace the coil that came with the car so could be that. We ar...

Hi Peter,

Don't suppose you would have an Ignitor for sale would you?

Any ideas where I could get one if not? Assuming they will be pricey from Toyota.

Re: rev3 fitting 180mph clocks and deristricting?

So it seems to be the case that there isn't currently a way to do this?

I have seen HKS to a fuel cut defenser but not sure what that will achieve.

I have also found a kph to mph converter online

http://www.svaspeedos.co.uk/

Anyone else know of anything better that is available.

Thanks

Re: rev3 fitting 180mph clocks and deristricting?

Hi All, Sorry to go back to this old post, however, it does not seem to answer the original question and I have the same question. In my car that I am rebuilding it still has the 110 clocks in it which I would like to change and de-restrict without it compromising anything else. So can it be done, w...

That would be a great help if you could. Really I need a few pics so I can see where all the hoses go. if you have any pics from underneath that would sort me out even better. Also if sometime you fancy a ride into York where my friend lives so he can have a look I would be happy to compensate you i...

It has had an engine replacement and been off the road for a number of years. Lucky for me I have a friend who is a mechanic and a former MR2 owner as well. So a...
