Re: FULLY FORGED - New pics of the car (page36) + 1/4 mile times

Hi Gullzter.

I think I've left my Celine Dion CD in the centre storage box. Can you
have a look for me and let me know.

Thanks.

Re: [FINALIZED] 1998 MR2 G-Limited (VVTi)

Hi people,

I didn't expect this level of response. There are now a number of people interested in the car. I've replied to do all PM's and will try
to keep this as fair as possible.


Thanks,

Nick.

1998 MR2 G-Limited (VVTi)

Hi folks, I'm selling my MR2 as 'spares or repair'. It's a 1998 G-Limted with the 3SGE Beams VVTi engine. It's has gradual coolant loss from the overflow which suggests a pending head gasket failure. Around this time last year I had the coolant changed and bled with a new thermostat to rule out air ...

Fuel Protest

OK this is still in its early stages (it literally started with a thread on the MR2OC at 20 to 9 this morning) but basically i'm here to suggest a 'go slow' in key areas of Scotland/England. We are aiming to get as many car/bike enthusiast clubs involved as we can , so the idea is to spread the word...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Are trd kits the new Ferrari kits??

Re: [All] [Generic] What carbon fibre parts are people generally after?

I've been considering either the OOParts and Ask Sport CF doors but I'm worried about how they'd fair if you were hit from the side in an accident with no roll cage. I assume they offer no side impact protection at all? A CF door skin sounds good though. I have the intention of losing the bump strip...

RST, Teccyjim, i'm not as technical as you guys but heres what i think i know - you guys are talkin about fluid moving through a pipe right? so a pressure drop at one end = increased velocity of the fluid? right. so that pipe has the throttle body at one end and the airbox(bmc or factory) at the oth...

Re: MR2 Turbo VS Honda Integra Type R???

I think a beams engine is inherently inferior to a VTEC in all honesty.. but anyway there is another argument. Well I wont disagree - VTEC engines are much more high tech, but call me a fanboi, I prefer the power delivery of the Beams. oops seems i'm dragging this even farther off topic. MR2 Turbo ...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Fitted my BMC CDA Filter (With Pics) - Do You Have One ??

So they really do improve low down response - good. Cos I lost all mine when i fitted an HKS intake. It's claimed that the CDA delivers air under slight pressure to the engine, just like the factory airbox (wich is good for low down torque as the engine is not having to work for the air) but still h...

well just to clear it up for you Lauren - I dropped the DC5 on a road with 'corners'. Straight line duels don't really interest me much either.

Re: MR2 Turbo VS Honda Integra Type R???

/back to the fun... Assuming both teg and MR2 are 200ps (BEAMS being most likely here...) Power to weight... Teg - 200ps/1045 x 1000 = 191ps/tonne MR2 - 200ps/1310 x 1000 = 153ps/tonne. The Beams engined 2's are 1220kg so 164ps/tonne. Not that it makes much difference of course. DC2's are all hype ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Longer studs?

i'm currently using a set of these

http://www.priracing.com/product.php?xProd=724&xSec=93

with 10mm spacers - they are quite long though and you will need open ended wheel nuts.

I've also got a spare set, so make me an offer and i'll post them off to you
