Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Blitz SBC ID Spec R Installation

OK, my SBC arrived this morning, but I'm slightly concerned that the supplied cabling wont be long enough?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Blitz SBC ID Spec R Installation

if you mount it in the centre vent like i did, there should be room to clip the air vent back in front of the display when you park up if you modify the vent piece.

obviously no good if you bought a silver one :lol:

stealth rather than removing it though :-k

when does the standard c20 hit full boost?


i was getting full boost (1.2bar) by 2.9-3k rpm on my old 2 with a ct20b :thumleft:

i'm probably going for a 3071r .63 once my engine is run in, but that might change once Nick takes me for a spin in his 2 with the 3076r (graph above^)

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Tanabe 30.5mm front and 27.5mm rear ARBs anyone?

TRD ARB's are probably one of the best chassis mods i've done. the car corners totally flat with them on :thumleft:

the thicker ones rip out the mounting points from what i've seen on mr2oc.com

Re: Wheels colours. What suits differents colour MR2's?

yeah i know what you mean, i've had those wheels for about 4 years+ now.

i think when i eventually get round to getting my splitrims refurbed they will be fully polished :thumleft:

i did plan on tinting the rear lights red, i just never got round to it 8-[
