Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] mr2 rev2 engine into rev3 gt4

You might need to get a scrap 3sgte from a st185 GT4 for some bits and pieces. I did it the other way around st205 to mr2. I needed a new crank pulley, cam belt cover, water inlet pipe and outlet housing. If you are using the chargecooler , you would need the st185 throttle body too. Cant remember w...

Re: gran turismo

irie, definitely go for a 1080P if you can, GT5 will make use of it and it looks fantastic. I know your probably chomping at the bit to go buy a TV, but honestly you are best of waiting until after Xmas, there'll be sales starting boxing day and you'll be able to pick up a TV cheaper. Fr'instance h...

Re: gran turismo

I know 1080p is cool but would it not be better to have a better refresh rate for driving games?

I have read that the ps3 outputs 720p and upscales it to 1080p

Do you know what refresh rate it outputs at?

Re: gran turismo

I have held off buying a ps3 and hdtv until gt5 is released. Ive bought the ps3 but now need a hdtv. Looking round the shops and online im getting confused. I need the advice of someone knowledable on the tv front. I would like 37-40 inch screen. I have around a £400 budget and im coming across a hu...

Re: Midlands Rolling Road Day £15's per car .....

I've put it up on the 200sx club as I'm a member on that too. It could be a cool day of Mr2's & 200sx's if we could have a good enough turnout

Re: Midlands Rolling Road Day £15's per car .....

Hi Mike,

Dont know if you have managed to sort this out yet.
I have had a word with a dyno in Cradley Heath(hi-tech), they can get us in for £20 a car, not sure if this is with or without VAT. But they can get us in as a club, they just need a minimum of 15 cars.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] PPC £999 challenge MR2 - she flys!!

Funny you should say that 'cos we're allowed to sell upto £250 worth of stuff to put back into the budget. One of the things we had considered selling were the wheels as we've already picked up some std 15" rims with Yoko A032Rs on. What are they worth then? They're 16" with 2 very good A...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Safe mode - Rev3 turbo

you would expect more than that on a rev 3 with those mods so i would assume that boost reading to be correct for now btw, does the car drive fine other than not the power you expected? not 100% sure about the knock sensor but i suspect it may only throw a code when it goes so, i reckon it is a cho...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Safe mode - Rev3 turbo

Thanks for that dude

it made 240bhp and only 178 lb/ft torque

Ct26 (apparantly a hybrid)
Aftermarket downpipe
Exhaust
Induction kit
Chargecooler

Wouldn't a knock sensor throw up an ecu code?
