Re: [FINALIZED] 1995 MR2 GT Turbo (Rev 3) tin top

This is now on an ebay classified ad for £2900.

This seems to be the cheapest rev 3 trubo about, is that putting people off? It's a very clean car with good service history.

I guess its just the time of year.

Re: rear Brakes

Just changed my fronts on Monday. The two bolts for the caliper are 14mm and the two for the carrier are 17mm. I would recommend that you use a socket set that has hexagon sockets rather than the other type that have lots of smaller grooves as these can easily cause the nuts to be rounded off.

What is even more impressive is where the n/a mr2 comes in. It is faster than lots of cars including the new golf gti.

Re: Standard MR2 Wheels - does anyone know the weight of one?

I weighed a rear rev 5 wheel last night and it came in at 7.1 kg. I couldn't weigh the fronts as they are at my folks house. I guess they would be just a little lighter so pretty much identical to rev 2/3 wheels. Possibly no coincidence they weigh the same as earlier wheels as toyota wanted their ch...

Re: Best EBC

Yes 1 bar is fine, standard boost is .85-.9 bar anyway. I would get a aftermarket exhaust and decat and maybe an intercooler/charge cooler and you can run up to 1.2 bar.

Re: Quick Oil Filter question before I goto Toyota

When you get a toyota one it specifies the engine codes it's for on the side of the box. It will say 3sgte and a few other engines including the 4age. Its about £7 if i remember.

Just be careful with second hand units has the solonoids are prone to faliure (sticking) and lots of the control units pack up too.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Alternator belt query – Urgent!

Alternator belts which 'burn off' are normally due to a worn/sticking alternator pulley wheels. This is due to worn bearings - a common problem. Just putting a new belt on will probably be a waste of time as you probably need a re-con alternator as well. Best place to get one is http://www.tcbparts...

Re: Imprezza vs mr2turbo

I would imagine he would get you off the line but not by much then you would probably catch and pass due to AWD transmission losses. However throw in some corners and he will probably be away.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Alternator belt query – Urgent!

Cheers guys. What sort of drain does the battery take after starting/while running. I don't think the battery on the car is the best and am worried about it cutting out. I only have a 15min drive though so hopefully it will be ok. I will try and do it in the day so no need for lights etc.

[Mk2] [NA] Alternator belt query – Urgent!

I got a call of my sister yesterday morning while she was driving her mr2. She said she could smell burning rubber and that all the lights on the dash have come on including the engine light, battery, oil pressure (she had only driven the car around 100mtrs). I told her to leave the car where it was...

Re: Anyone know good place for resonable parts

There are a couple of places. Try the sellers on here (eg Sbits) or places like camskill or Twos r us. Also try fleabay. Theres always lots of talk about the after market replacements not been as good as the genuine Toyota parts but it's up to you.

Boost hose diameter

I've done a search but can't seem to find the diameter of hose i need for the turbo to ebc and to/from the actuator. I guess it's about 5mm but does it matter if you use 6mm or 7mm? Is it better to get a smaller diameter or slightly larger?

Turbo Timers – How exactly do they work, possible new use for them….

I have seen several turbo timers come up for sale fairly cheaply. I understand that they keep the engine running after you have turned off the ignition for a set period of time. My great idea is to use one to let me defrost my car with the safety of my doors been locked. The problem is I’m not sure ...
