Re: Ewan's White Rev3 G-Limited (1993)

Good to see it back together and on the road again after all your hard work. Yes they really are fun to drive. Getting rid of the stock air filter assembly and replacing it with a nice cone filter was one of the first things I did to my old na. I really didn't make any difference to the performance,...

Re: Ewan's White Rev3 G-Limited (1993)

Wow, and I thought my AC condenser was in a bad way before I replaced it. Well worth fitting some wire mesh in front of your new radiator when you install it, that would at least offer a bit of protection from road debris thrown up given how low MR2's are. Good to see you got your priorities right w...

Re: Ewan's White Rev3 G-Limited (1993)

Looking Good. With the radio it's possible to buy a FM frequency expander which simply fits between the antenna and the antenna input on the radio head unit, but it does require power. I've never tried one myself but they aren't that expensive so might be worth a shot. Very cheap on ebay, but delive...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Turbo electrically folding door mirror. Advice appreciated.

I think that's correct.

I believe the non power folding mirrors are fitted with a three pin plug, the non power folding heated mirrors use a 5 pin plug, and the power folding and heated power folding use a seven pin plug.

Re: Central locking/remote central locking - Rev 3 turbo UPDATE: Diagnosis Gidden

Glad you're making progress. Hopefully obtaining a replacement door control module should sort things out. But it's hard to fathom why on earth PG removed it in the first place. It's hardly in the way tucked up there.

Re: Central locking/remote central locking - Rev 3 turbo UPDATE: Diagnosis Gidden

OK, if he's not been in the door and the plastic sheet looks undisturbed it's unlikely that those two connectors are the issue. I believe this is the location of the yellow door control module.

Re: Central locking/remote central locking - Rev 3 turbo UPDATE: Diagnosis Gidden

Had Gidden been inside the door for some reason. If he had and the master switch isn't working either, it's possible the connectors to the actual mechanism inside the door are loose or weren't plugged back in. http://www.mr2.org.uk/images/mr2_door_loom1.jpg You can see the white and gray connectors ...

Re: Central locking/remote central locking - Rev 3 turbo UPDATE: Diagnosis Gidden

Assuming the master locking push button on the drivers side window control panel works OK and locks the doors, it sounds like the connection between the locking mechanism and your alarm is unplugged or faulty. I don't have a Toad alarm on my car, but when I recently changed the driver's side loom fo...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Swapping ecus?

That's a shame, provided the damage isn't too serious, you can usually repair an ECU with leaking capacitors. I had a couple suffer with that issue. I also had a rev2 manual NA a few years ago which kept cutting out and there were no signs of damage in the ECU. Unable to get to the bottom of the pro...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Swapping ecus?

I don't think rev1 and rev2 ECUs are interchangeable.

Have you opened up the rev2 ecu to check for leaking capacitors and any damage to the tracks if they have leaked?

It's a pretty common fault.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Mr2 rev2 turbo cone filter size ?

In general, I've ordered all sorts of non car stuff from abroad and never had a problem. Germans I've found are particularly easy to deal with and very reliable. I've only bought a couple of things from Negun, but they seem to have a pretty good reputation among Japanese car enthusiasts, and I had n...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Mr2 rev2 turbo cone filter size ?

I have an Apexi air filter on my rev 2 turbo, but the one in that ebay listing isn't a direct fit for th rev2 with an AFM. The correct Apexi filter is a code 507-T007 as shown in this Amazon ad: advert These aren't as common and I had to import mine from Nengun: Nengun website which is currently sho...

To be honest I didn't buy a kit as such and simply measured up what I was after and talked it through with them on the phone as the range of kits on their website was a bit limited, and in many cases you just need to Know the length and internal diameter and what degree bends will do the job.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Turbo hoses

The hose from the AFM to the turbo will restrict your choice of supplier as most seem to only stock the later rev3+ hoses. I replaced all the others on my rev2 with hoses from sfs who were really helpful. http://www.mr2.org.uk/images/mr2_engine_bay4.jpg But unfortunately they couldn't supply the rev...
