Yep as bob says, broken ringland. Compression tests don't always show them. A leak down test is better.

ive also wrapped my intercooler pipe work with this

ive just fitted a PTP turbo blanket on mine. excellent quality and was only £120 shipped from the states.
definatly worth having though as it does cut down on heat in the engine bay

that is all

just use a good quality RTV sealant. make sure both faces are clean and free from old sealant, a wire wheel in a drill is good for this just make sure you flush all the bits away. put a 4mm bead all round the sump in the centre of the flange and going on the inside edge of the bolt holes. done corre...

yep, according to the EPC all the alternator components can be brought separately.
not sure on cost though, i know a brush set is about £20

Is that an air jack point I see on the rear panel?
Very nice

it sounds like misaligned splines between the two plates, best to use a splined alignment tool or old input shaft to align them. a normal alignment tool wont work on twin plates.
depending where you are i have an input shaft here you can borrow but its very heavy so would be best collected

looking amazing paul, attention to detail is awesome. the skirt moulding is available from toyota, its fitted to the side skirts on the 2004 ish corolla. i used some on mine. the double glazing seal looks good though
will you and this be at JAE?

yep id agree on crankwalk.if you have a rev 2 then it may well be quicker to remove the sump to inspect the thrust bearings, although with how bad you describe it then i think that there will be obvious damage without removing the thrust bearings themselves. when you drain the oil if there is a lot ...

What boost are you running? I cracked ringland can give an off beat sound to the idle not saying it is that but just to be aware. A lot of oil must from the breather is another indicator.

you can even use the gear box with a couple of mods (diff swapped over, transfer box removed and mr2 blank plate fitted and the selector swapped over)

managed to get the engine lid sorted, now this wasn't as easy as i thought. the holes for the rain tray securing screws in the engine lid were shot and it was impossible to tighten them. now I'm not sure if this is a common problem with tubby engine lids but I've managed a successful fix. first off ...

i run this peter and have not had any problems during winter (car lives outside :( ) however it is vitally important that all traces of water are removed from the system before using (evans do a prep fluid for this) it does stink though if spilled on the engine and doesnt evaporate making leaks easi...

depends what grade was in there before, if it had a thicker grade then that would have kept the light out, at 110K id say some new shells and an oil pump are in order before it gets too bad an wrecks the crank

defo worth making the end plates to channel the air, the stock bumper and indeed most modern cars have that very type of thing. as for the side pods is there no way to make ducts to direct the air to the front brakes? or even round to the rad?

heres one, sorry about the pic quality but i took this on my iPhone and its got dust between the lens and case somehow :( http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j183/dawesy_2006/MR2%202012/f22ea6ea-8845-4610-be4e-0d337b098bfd_zps02b542d6.jpg and heres one up to the fans http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/...

Also fitted the intercooler to the rear Image Replaced With URL For Quote http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j183/dawesy_2006/MR2%202012/MR2Rear.jpg Love the ass mount intercooler :twisted: Yeah i wanted to keep the A2A rather than go chargecooler route (Though that may have been better :neutral: ) ...

yeah defo not good, glad it was something simple.
stock one isnt that obvious, how empty is your bay?
