Bloody gritters!
The sun is out, I had a couple of hours to kill so I gave my two a good clean, wax, the works. I find it's when you clean it that you pick up the imperfections. Im feeling particularly grumpy this time! :evil: I got my import tubby in November - paintwork was immaculate. It had managed to be like th...

Rear suspension arms - acceptable play
Whilst trying out my new trolley jack I was having a good prod and poke around under the back of the car to see if I could figure out where the annoying clonking was coming from. I gave the lower suspension arms a good shaking in all directions (the ones that have adjusters half-way down, connect th...

Re: Most suspicious mr2 in the world?
It could also have been unregistered until '96 too, in which case the N plate is totally genuine. Just imagine the poor thing languishing for years on some forecourt somewhere while all its 3S-GE equipped siblings were being bought up around it. Maybe some 3S-FE enthusiast should buy it out of pity ...

The seller states its UK car though!! But yes i agree there are so many conflicts in the ad that surely the seller cannot be trying to seriously deceive anyone. Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.

Re: Most suspicious mr2 in the world?
The car is listed as an N reg, which I beleive means that it is meant to be nothing other than a Rev 3? Instead, the car is what appears to be a rev 1, with the following rev 1 items: wheels front splitter rear lights and centre panel It is also listed as having the 3s-fe engine, a rev 1 engine. an...

Re: flames or sparks!?
Just a thought - if you've only just got the car, maybe there's some crud in the exhaust that is being ignited and blow out? I'm no expert, but mine farts and pops - there are so many things that influence that though. If there is no cat, then there isn't anything I know of apart from carbon build-u...

Hate to put a downer on things MR2_Turbo, but changing the externals isn't going to stop someone getting in. Messing with the lock is the most time-consuming way to get into an MR2 - a coat hanger will get you in without much effort unfortunately. I'll not post details, but I'm sure it's been covere...

Re: Difference between GT and GTS???
I like to think the S stands for
'Sport'

lighter.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

My impression is that the GT-S was made for the purists so they could have it as stripped down
(within reason) as they wanted, or maybe I'm just trying to kid myself I didn't get the cheap version

Swapping factory fitted Recaros over - don't do it!
The cloth Recaro driver's seat in my '2 is slightly worn on the side bolster so I thought I'd swap them over to prevent further wear. What a mistake that turned out to be! Firstly, once you swap the runners/frames over you discover the seats aren't quite as symmetrical as they first appear. There's ...
