Re: Mk2 - wind noise from wing mirror / tweeter

the mirror on my beemer was doing the same.
it turned out to be wind blowing between the gap in the mirror its self.
between the mounting part it hinges on and the mirror head.

mine was worn so got a new mirror unit.

Re: its goodbye to the mr2.. and a massive thanks

Re: rev 1 or 2 and what bhp engine

Can't mind the exact figure but it's between 160 and 180, think the rev3 is 174, they are nowhere near as quick as a 325, or even a 318 I would suspect, a tubby would take one on no problem but not an N/a :) i no a standard e30 325i is down as able to manage 0 to 60 in 7.4 sec i thought an mr2 with...

what bhp would a rev 2 have.
its nippy but not a quick as the bmw e30 325i 1988 i sold last year.
that was 170 standard but but i had it chipped.
