carlimits.com in north weild though, about £35 for activity day. im going again tomorrow.

standard parcels is 4 to5 working days, (so a week) if its not there monday/tuesday contact him again i think mine took 3 or 4 working days.

the pheonix power ones quite a bit thicker than the xs power, greddy ones (which are the same i think) and has the pipes join on differently. dont know the sizes though.

yeah i had that one fitted to my old rev3 turbo. clutch was fine simlar to stock clutch with a slightly different design of release bearing. did plenty of runs at santa pod no problems.

I would go mk1 will have a more useful power to weight ratio with that engine, although make sure you find as rust free as shell as possible before parting with a lot of money converting the engine.

I agree with one of the above posts I would expect a performance clutch to last less time than a normal one as the extra power will be working it harder (like performance brake pads, do a better job but don’t last as long as oem ones) and as said the wear might be down to the individual’s driving st...

Were there a lot of rev5 turbo’s surely by 1999 the mr2 turbo was beginning to become old hat in Japan after 10 years. I would be surprised if there were that many sold. I think the mr2 turbo was really the car of the early to mid 90s by 99 I think other jap models had taken over popularity.

i have seen a handful of nice fairly low mile rev3 turbos advertised for between £1900 and £2500 recently. At this time of year you might even get away with a lower offer too.
wouldnt repair your car. would consider using your engine in a mk1 also though.

thats the second or third rev3 turbo i have seen for less than £2k now. alot of car for the money. But then alot of higher end stuff is really falling in price with the credit situation at the moment.

Boost will still be the same as it was before on the boost gauge, if its a small leak as the turbo will be working harder to keep it at the same level. One of the pipes or the core its self will be leaking (the stock pipes are also steel and will not affect the sound). It’s very common for the joint...

try and swap relays with another car just to rule it out, as they are exspencive to buy. i used to have a spare one. have seen lots of power steering problems on mr2's and its always been the relay but does sound like yours might be something else. think the relays are about 70 new but go for about ...

If you have £3k spare don’t do a rev3 conversion on your current car, sell up and buy a rev3 plus car (could get one for about £2.5k now) and use the money from yours to tune that as you will end up with just as much power on a newer more reliable car.

you have a boost leak then as it shouldn't sound any different from just a new intercooler

the best bet is the cheapest as all of them will crack with time as the engine moves slightly compared to the rest of the exhuast. most last about 2 or 3 years depending on use. only the cast blitz ones avoid this problem but are very heavy by comparison

Stock ic is ok but you will see a performance gain if you fit a aftermarket one even at stock boost (which will raise slightly with a aftermarket ic fitted).

It will defiantly be the relay its in the front trunk just under the plastic spare wheel cover on the right hand side as you look at it. It’s a metal circular thing with a plastic top from memory. Its very common fault happened on all 3 of my mr2s at some point. The ignition trick normally cures it ...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/mikep216/bothnewseats.jpg recaro speeds (£50 off ebay from an evo4 fitted with diy subframes) nice seats but just as heavy as stock seats. old seats before the recaro ones http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/mikep216/insideone.jpg http://img.photobucket.com...

if its not modified look at the front lip on the bottom of the bumper rev1 is the small one, rev2 is the deeper one.
if has stock wheels still (unlikely) then rev1 has 14" wheels and rev2 onwards 15" ones but these are oftern swapped over.

another vote for carlimits day sounds exactly what your looking for, lots of run off no crashes todate and most poeple find the limits of their driving as the name suggests.

for pics and details of the last one i attended.

Price seems average for current market, might as well get as late as car and lowest miles you can for your budget but as said mr2’s if well serviced will be good for loads of miles, two of mine had over 130k and were both fine. I would however expect to pay a few hundred less for a higher milage car...
