clocked! do not make claims you cannot back up when I have all the history to confirm mileage, please prove that you owned this vehicle, I could say this about any vehicle on this site without any problems, i could say this had a smash two years ago, all I'd have to do is find out how long you have...

Have you upped the boost a lot or using a big turbo?

If you have, you will probably be best getting the PCV bored out and have a -12AN fitting welded on and then vent to a baffled and vented catch tank.

Don't plumb back into to the intake though, it just decreases your octane a bit

Just wondering if I'd be better offering the whole car up for sale?

Gutted to hear about your two mate... glad you are ok tho!

Cheers mate - and thanks to everyone for their well wishes...

Now, who wants the engine?

Out of interest how could the throttle cable stick open? i thought only newer cars with fly-by-wire gas pedals could have this problem.

Not sure mate - can happen to any car I think?

Cheers, Glenn. Just one of those things mate. Move on to bigger and better things!

Looks like I'm getting the car back and parts are now for sale.

Bobby, we get that you don't like the replicas, but why are you behaving like a kid? A real kid that is, not a replica one.

Just had a call from the insurance. The car has been declared a total loss.

RIP the MR2 V6 Turbo!

Very generous offer that mate - not sure what my plans are. Depends on what Mr Insurance Man says ... But thanks, it's really appreciated.

I shall raise a glass to you in repsect.

I raised a couple of Jagermeisters last night

I'm devastated for you mate, I know how much time, effort, money and research you put into this car. Not to mention the heartache you went through for the TRD kit. I had the honour of watching this build first hand all the way through to it's completion. Totally stunning deuce. I'm just pleased you...

Sorry to hear about your car Johnny. I was really looking forward to seeing what your car would put out on the rollers. Did you manage to get any dyno results at all before it crashed? Would love to see even an early dyno sheet if you have one :thumleft: It was 422bhp and 430lb/ft, with positive bo...

Looks like them woodsport arches cracked in a big way! Lol

Hehe - the rear ones stood up nicely though!

oh no :cry: :shock: i'm sure gutted cant quite describe it, glad you are both ok though regarding the insurance, you are probably right about not getting the full worth of the car back from aplan but do they have the clause where you can buy the car back cheap? i'm sure there would be many salvagab...

Update: Car is dead! We were out on Wednesday at Scoobyclinic and went out to get some drinks from the shop, when the throttle cable stuck open. By the time I'd stepped on the brakes, the turbo had spooled, catapulting us forward. I tried to step on the clutch, but by that time, we'd gathered too mu...

I think the cars gearing is great for <350bhp. For more than that you need longer gears to make the engine sing a bit IMO.
