Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev2 standard tubby mods
To echo other posts, just get the car home, give it a proper service and enjoy it.
If you then decide you want more power, you need to think about cooling, the more HP you want the more seriously cooling becomes.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Bubbling sound under car after its turned off
You have air in the coolant system, it needs bleeding as others have pointed out.

Re: Overheating - where to start looking
I would bleed the coolant system, I have had touble with mine this past year and it was mainly airlock issues.

Re: Coolant trouble. Steaming and Bubbling
Definately sounds like an airlock issue, have you turned on the heater in the car is it getting hot, if not that is another pointer towards an airlock in the coolant.

Get out and test drive a turbo and then decide if that is what you want to look at getting one.

Re: Where have all the tubbys for sale gone?
It took me over 6 months to find a nice tin-top Rev3+ turbo, it just takes time.

Re: Dual fans fitted to engine cover.
Well as someone who tracks their Turbo, I can assure you they make a noticeable difference in keeping temps at decent levels at a trackday. Mine cut in via a thermostat and since I have had them fitted no ovrheating issues and I have done some trackdays this year in the height of summer, on some ver...

Re: looking to buy a Mk2 Turbo.
Don't buy a cheap sh*t eBay intercooler, try get a good second hand GReddy one, or stick with stock. I'd be looking at suspension too, a good suspension set up makes driving a Mk2 so much better! Now when I sought advice about intercoolers, I was told go for any intercooler other than stock as they...

Re: Bedford on the 23rd?
It's open pitlane £199 for the day.
Static is 101db, but driveby is 87db, I think I will be running very close to that and I have bought some sound mufflers to fit if I trip the limit.

Re: Noble M500 Upgrades & Overhaul
Great thread, please keep us updated, I had always fancied a Noble at some point, your findings make me very nervous of ever buying one.

Bedford on the 23rd?
Morning,
Just wondered if anyone else might be going to Bedford this coming Saturday?
Will be there with a couple of friends, one with an S2000 and another with an MX5.
Cheers,
Paul.

Re: Introducing myself...
Seems there are quite a few of us, I had a Goodwood green Rev 3 turbo, Rays alloys, Fujitsubo exhaust, hybrid turbo etc etc, sold it some years ago and decided to come back last August.
In the past year I have slowly been tweaking my 'new' Rev 3 turbo to how I want it.
