Re: optimax vs normal stuff
I've just bought my car and was curious to see what difference Optimax made to my usual Esso Super unleaded and i found it seemed to use more fuel with Optimax but with no noticeable difference in performance, so i've been sticking to Esso stuff-seems to work well! Plus my nearest Shell garage is ab...

Re: Is it just road noise?
Might be a long shot but have you checked your gearbox oil level? If that's low it can make the box a bit noisier than it shoud be.

Re: where can i find a radio fascia apapter for my mr2
Fraid not mate, it's not on the web it's an Autoleads product and it's a universal fascia adapter that adds on to the bottom instaed of making the hole smaller. Any car spares shop should be able to get hold of them.

Re: Is it just road noise?
Mine makes the same kind of noise mate, but i think it's just the noise from the gearbox as my mate's rev3 turbo makes the same noise too.
Does the noise get louder when you go round corners?

Re: where can i find a radio fascia apapter for my mr2
I've got like a cd storage thing that bolts on to the bottom of your head unit then fits nicely in the double DIN hole, cost about a tenner from Motorworld and looks like it was made to be there!

Re: Insurance Company *!"£$
I've pretty much had it with insurance companies too, got a quote to transfer my insurance over in May for a rev 2 turbo, went to buy it about a month later and apparently the insurance company i was with stopped insuring these cars, so as i had just bought the car, i was stuck in York without insur...

Re: Newbie after a bit of advise
Interesting, you don't think it's a UK car with a turbo lump in do you? wondering what engine it had in before it was swapped.
I'm definitely gonna go and see it and i'll ask him a lot more about it. Seems pretty genuine tho, claims to have receipts and all, but seems cheap for what it is

Re: Newbie after a bit of advise
You reckon he'd take any less, the car sounds great but i've only got about 2.5k or would that be taking the mick a bit?

Re: T-bar turbo vs tin top
well i was wondering where the hell i'm gonna put my system anyway and was planning to use the space behind the passenger seat, so if that's where the roof's stored then i guess it'll be a tin top! I liked the idea of the t-bar but then had a look at mi mates car and realised how little space there ...

Re: Newbie after a bit of advise
yeah hopefully gonna have a look on Tuesday. It's only got 2 months MOT left on it so is there anything that mr2s are prone to fail on that i should look for?
Other than that it looks like a good buy, guess my neighbours'll have to get used to a silly exhaust again

Newbie after a bit of advise
I'm gonna be getting an MR2 turbo soon, haven't got a lot of cash to spend, about 2.5k to be exact and i've seen this car on eBay and would like a second opinion on it. The only thing that worries me really is that it's had a new engine and the guy says it hunts on idle but other than that it doesn'...

T-bar turbo vs tin top
I'm gonna be buying a turbo soon but after speaking to a couple of turbo owners they seem to say that the t-bar's don't handle as well as the tin tops because they aren't as stiff. Is there really that much difference cos there seems to be a load of t-bars up for sale and not many tin tops and i was...
