Does not make any difference, cold, wet, damp, hot, bone dry, all the same. light tweak of the throttle and it will cut out, rev the bolts of it and it will cough, splutter, bog itself down a bit then spring to life, do that a few times and it will run faultless for the rest of the day as long as yo...
Right, Following up on this now that some parts have been swapped out - others not so, now I actually know what engine I have...... :oops: Following the Essex meet last Thursday I've found out some very useful information from a very helpful and friendly group of people, roll on the next meet :) I'm...

Thanks for the replies, plenty of food for thought and with parts selling like mad on the dead saab I should have enough surplus cash over the next few weeks to replace the whole shebang. TCB Sounds like a good place to go when I order everything I need :) One more quick question, Anyone running KV8...
First off, great forum, I have already saved myself a couple of red faced moments from actually READING the information available :) I have been enjoying my first foray into MR2 ownership with my 1990 Rev1 N/A Import, totally different beast to my previous daily a stage 1 mapped saab 9000, Couldn't ...

As mentioned though fair play to them for both doing it and saving the MR from scrap if they did but its still very
FYI on the exhaust Baker, Its a standard tubby back box with a cut/shut welded on decat on a butched mid section with welds on top of welds... whoever did it even welded the exhaust mount in the middle of the back box 180 deg out so its useless.. Glad you queried it though, noticed I need to go shop...
Nooooo, trade card I may just take you up on the offer in the future.
Thanks for the welcome:)
I'll be on here a fair bit and once the post count is up enough will post up a few pics.
I did indeed, popped into the retail park on route elsewhere Weds afternoon, I try and stay out of halfrauds, I always spend far too much in there :) As to the make, not a clue at present but I'll be tinkering all weekend (weather permitting) so will see what I can find out and let you know, its hel...
That is most likely me then :) Hi to all IMOCUK members! First time on any forum over the last 10 years I've ever been spotted :mrgreen: and this time before I get my first post in (must be the pop and bang - a bit too much for my tastes tbh).
