I had this and it was a vac leak on the back of the intake manifold the blanking cap had split .. took me so long to find it ... not saying it will be but well worth a look

How long till shes up n running bud . My intention is to get it running properly so that I can run the engine occasionally over the winter. HFH (to finish) and alternator sorted out will see it ready for that. MoT in March 2017 and I'll be doing some classic runs etc. throughout the Year. Nice plan...

Id love to see you run those drag wheels n tyres on the rear

Thats what i love about the mr2 community, everyones willing to help out. I bought the car not long ago, my 2nd mr2 but first turbo one that im looking to keep. Still learning, but i have a scorpion exhaust system, upgraded air filter and all the pipings been done. Nothing big that i know of, shoul...

Good question ... for the record mine ran all the time . something to do with my intercooler fan i thought

I'm sure one or two may disagree but that's just life :thumleft: Yeah im going to disagree .. my wideband went in to the red 14 + afr on boost, so i limped home .. later found my fuel pump relay was not switching from 9v to 12v ... saved my car bud .... :thumleft: But agreed if your not tuning (tha...

No question ... this is a must

Hey thanks for all the info, My standard bonnet just looks a state, and instead of replacing with an original I thought , why not carbon fibre. Again because of this I didn't want to spend too much money. I've seen some for like £230 (CarBen fibre) anyone with any experience of these ones? I get th...

Correct - quality is top notch. I'm rebuilding my CT20B right now and using the following components: Kinugawa inconel turbine (Same as you've listed) Mamba Billet CT20b With Extended tip (The wheel you've listed is not extended tip) Melette CT20b (CT26 small) rebuild kit. Note - I'm getting it pro...

I ran a TD05 on standard set up, ran fine, it was stronger than ct20b for sure, wouldn't like to estimate what power it was putting down at what boost but here is a video of it at 1-1.1 bar I sold it to sheppy, he then sold it to another member, maybe worth tracking the buyer down because they may ...

Cheers mate, it is what it is - it's only metal and plastic , can't cry over it for too long, can't really blame the other guy too much either, if I'd been doing 30 then I could have came to a complete stop, so I'm equally to blame. Sounds like your in a good place now :thumleft: .. youll be up a r...

Sound like your not so dismayed now ... get the wheels straight ... tackle the other damage i know you have the skill .. and think your self lucky .. blowout at speed and you did not spin or barrel role in to a tree .. i would be happy it could have gone so much worse ... bloody inconsiderate road h...

Aww mate all your hard work , feel so sorry for you .. but chin up , im sure you'll bounce back with a car better than ever

Please , please , please fit these techno speed wheels .... they look thugs life Funnily enough I just got 2x free part worn 265/30/19 tyres :lol: Just need 235/30/19 and I can really test them. They will genuinely only be for show but I'm now thinking if they don't work with 10mm spacers I'll be m...
