Hi all,
I have been using rainsport 2s on my MR2 Turbo with 17inch rims for last few years - I really liked them - I need to replace them. The new rainsport 3 appear to be asymmetrical rather than directional thread pattern.

Anyone have any alternatives or thoughts on rainsport3s?
Thanks,
Tony

My black tin top Rev 2 Turbo has never quite hit the mark for me, and two of the reasons are the roof and the colour. I'm a big fan of the purple Rev 5 UK t-bar cars, and a 3SGTE powered one would be my ideal MR2. Are they pretty hard to come by? I have never really looked, yet. Turbo cars are grea...

Take the A36 west from Foxdale, it's a better bit of road than the TT mountain bit by some margin. Also, on the mountain take the road take the A14 down and just keep going, it's lovely down there too. :thumleft: If you're going to do the TT course, get up early and do it before it gets busy. Nothi...

Hi,
I am going over to Isle of Man next week for a couple of days, and a drive around...an tips, suggestions or roads to drive, apart from the obvious TT roads, much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
Does anyone else find the battery bracket on MKII MR2 frustrating and pretty awful. Maybe mind is just broken... Does anyone have any solutions espcecially when doing track days.
Thanks,

Hi,
Anyone have one in good nick, or know where i can get one for a reasonable price, MKII rev5 turbo.

Anyone know the part number or how much they cost at main dealer?
Thanks,
Tony

Thanks guys - that sounds perfect

Hi,
What do people do as a pre-caution before going on EU driving trip, and for breakdown cover while away? I presume getting a MR2 towed back from Spain would be a nightmare scenario?

Do people take a list of MR2 country clubs with them just in case?

All comments appreciated?
Thanks,
T

Anyone have any they want to get rid of?
Or know where i can get them cheaply?

For me this is the best but, I find i move around too much unless i can adjust the bolsters....

But the recaros look devine...

Hi,
We all know MR2s are getting cheaper n cheaper, but i know myself i would pay anything for a rev4/5 in mint...

When you look at something like Cossies they are mad money, do you think MR2s are ever going to appreciate..

There is a Rev5 Beams available, if that tickles your fancy? It's in the for sale section! Possibly just as rare and sought after.

Cheers for the heads up - I am addicted to the turbo since the first time i drove one

Hi, I have noticed a whine in 5th gear at 2600rpm when there is neutral torque through the gearbox - what i mean is when i am just providing just enough power so that the car is not accelerating nor decelerating. The bearing whine issue, it only happens in 5th gear at 86kmph at 2600rpm, so to test i...

More problems with the car this week. Rev 3 turbo running 1.1 bar on a standard ecu, been running ok at this for a few months until this week. When I go full throttle and hit full boost the car will pull cleanly until higher in the rev range and then just has a huge misfire and nearly throws me thr...

Go direct rather than paying inflated Toyota prices?

I remember reading somewhere on here that nippon or some other manufacturer made the Toyota ones, any one recall that message?
Thank
