Yipee got my new toy and well chuffed with it

Post by euge.c »

First off hi all, secondly wow! what a site :D so much info!! got my first ever mk2 mr2 after wanting one for years and after driving a saxo for a few years its like xmas and all your birthdays come at once lol, now ill admit that i didnt really do my research im only just learning with all the info on this site and ive managed to fix a number of probs on the car and i didnt even need to post lol! anyway i ended up with the 3s-fe i know i know!! maybe one day ill get a turbo in there, but still its a nice car to drive it already has the veilside kit on it which im chuffed with it needs a little repair work on the body round the rear arches is this common? its a 1990 UK G plate N/A its only done 67000 miles i didnt get any service history with the car although i plan on giving it a service filters oil brakes etc.. is there anything else i should think about getting done like the timing belt or anything else thats due around this mileage? ive also noticed a little bit of blue smoke coming from the back burning oil maybe? or something worse? im getting about 200 miles to a full tank is this about right thanks for any info :D

Welcome mate - if you can't find your post again tomorrow it'll have been moved to Members Profiles by one of our kind, hard-working mods :wink:

A good service is an excellent start and if you don't know when the cambelt was last done (if ever :shock: ) then I'd get that done too. 200 miles on a full tank for an NA seems pretty steep (unless you are absolutely thrashing it everywhere - I get a lot more than that from my turbo) so you might want to get that looked into as well.

Enjoy your stay :D

hope you got it for a good price dude, no service history, how can you be sure of mileage?
200 miles is not alot dude considering you only have the FE engine, id expect another 100 at least....

nice white tho!

i used to get about 200-250 to an FE tank, but when everyone gets a new car they give it some right foot so 200 doesn't seem all that bad!

if it is running rich it may smoke a bit. Get it aet up properly and you might cure 2 problems in one. Enjoy it.
