Re: Beware seller: Swaggansway

To be fair I bought a water elbow off him and it turned up fine. Just as soon as there's a problem he turns sour.

I imagine you won't have an issue with a throttle body.

Re: Beware seller: Swaggansway

No worries chaps, I bought a replacement from MR2-Ben which is now on and working perfect :) It's a shame people like this come on forums and cause so much bother, every forum seems to have a couple a year come and go. Like most people I use these forums as an invaluable resource to keep old cars li...

Re: Beware seller: Swaggansway

Doesn't look good for him does it.

Just need to cross my fingers that Paypal can see through his lies. If not it'll be small claims court next :(

Should've just bought a bloody new rad to start with, lesson learnt there.

Beware seller: Swaggansway

Beware, bought a radiator of this user here: http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=149256 Fitted it and it leaked like a sieve!

Re: Rev3 much better than 1/2?

Well after all that I've bought a rev2. Pick it up on Thursday. It needs a few bits doing but I got it for a very good price. Main issue is the alternator isn't charging the battery, I reckon it's a wiring issue but even if it ends up needing an alternator it'll still be worth it. It was alot faster...

Re: Rev3 much better than 1/2?

I am really interested in yours mate, it's in the colour I want too. Guess most of the rev3 stuff could be retro fitted if I was bothered enough too.

As soon as the Mazda sells I'll be in touch. I've had some interest so it's just a case of waiting now.

Re: Rev3 much better than 1/2?

I think the biggest sticking point for me will be that I want a totally standard car. I'm quite happy with 240bhp, I'd probably add a bigger side mount IC but nothing else. I'd much rather it was reliable, got plenty of unreliable toys bleeding me dry! Just need to shift my MX5 now, only bought it a...

Re: Rev3 much better than 1/2?

Can you tell the difference in drivability (smoothness etc) between the afm and map based cars?

Rev3 much better than 1/2?

I'm looking at getting my first MR2 turbo and have a question about the revisions. Are the updates for the Rev3 worth holding out for as there are far more 1 and 2s on the market. I know they have revised suspension, more power and a 'better' engine management system but can you notice the differenc...
