Reminds me of when I had my red tubby resprayed, it might be worth taking the bumpers off as the finish will be better, at least thats what I found.
I also own number 155 of 250 what number have you got, some pics of the finished paint job would be great. Nice to see a fellow enthusiast.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Chargecooler Pressure rating??? Any ideas
Hope I didnt open a can of worms. It is a fact of the larger pumps that I was looking at the power input was a fair amount higher so more requirement from the alternator.
Out of interest do people have the chargecooler pumps on costant or do people wire them up to a thermostat on the rad?
Thanks

[Mk2] [Turbo] Chargecooler Pressure rating??? Any ideas
Hi guys,
I have found a pump that I am looking to use for my charge cooler which flows a very healthy 2255 l/pm however the PSI is at near 40......
I know chargecoolers work really well with a good rate of flow and pressure but at 40 PSI is that too much.
Thanks everyone.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 3SGTE to 5SGTE 2.2Ltr QUESTIONS PLEASE HELP???
Great stuff, well I think I might start a project build as the block has come through.
Should be mighty torquey with the 3076 GTX going on and chargecooler shortening the air flow.
Thanks for the info.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Bronze tint windscreen supplier please...
no worries, I dont know if it would make any difference but it has only been in for 7 months opposed to the normal 15yrs+ so your welcome to try.
I will get the companies name of where I got mine from. I did pay cash in hand but they did a great job.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Brake upgrade
Hi yes they will fit, but as mentioned you will need the adapter bracket from Gaz, I have just had my brackets come through.
Plus those calipers are a great price, I thought I got ine cheap for £60.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Japspeed exhaust users
I had one and was excellent, fitted straight on, good looks and no handling issues.
There is one on ebay now very little use, £125.00
Just type in MR2 Japspeed. Enjoy.

Haha, sorry I'm not the weekly payment store, haha. With regards to the two leaks, the oil I believe is from the turbo return pipe but is so difficult to see. I cleaned the area and that's the closest location I can narrow it down to by using a mirror. The water leak is coming from the violent pipe ...
