Re: CP Pistons + eagle H beams rods

Absolute bargain :thumleft:

I'd have had them in a heartbeat if the compression was a smidge lower.

Which spark plugs and gap are you using?
Have you got orange/brown rings on the COP?

Re: 1992 JDM G-Limited T-Bar - RARE GT SPEC

Not intending to step on anyone's toes here but that's just G-Limited Spec not GT spec.
Import N/As were either G or G-Limited. G had whatever you asked for, G-Limited was specced even better than the GT sometimes.

Re: [FINALIZED] What's it worth? Beams turbo

Looking at the dyno graphs I'd want the map checking anyway...they just don't look right to me :-k Why so? If it's cause of the curve then all turbo'd beams go straight up like that :wink: Mine was making 1bar of boost at 2300rpm though with the disadvantage of nothing after 6700rpm. Nope- I get th...

Re: [FINALIZED] What's it worth? Beams turbo

If it's a beams chassis (1997-1998 G-Limited) then that alone is worth £4000-5000. Beams turbo are quite common on the Altezza but even then the owners add £4000 on for the value of the turbo kit, there's only about 5-10 turboed beams MR2s in the world. I'd run a few mechanical checks on the engine;...

Re: Genuine TOM's spoiler - £100

It was tongue-in-cheek, a free bump if you will. But Tom's are not Toyota; they are an independent tuner who happen to specialise in Toyota and Lexus cars. TOM's means Tachi Oiwa Motor Sport. This is Toyota Motorsport: http://www.v-eight.com/images/Images_Multimedia/TRD_3SGT_Supra/Images_Large/TRD_3...

Re: Forging

CP do pistons off the shelf for the beams engine.

They will do any compression for you but there is a guy who has off the shelf 7:1 which is ridiculously low in my opinion.

Re: Yellow TRD widebody project ***BIG MOT FAIL, END OF THE LINE FOR ME***

Well that went south quickly #-o

Having my own near impossible to fix experience, I know that anything can be fixed but would it be financially sound to do so and also would the car be the same?
Probably cheaper and easier to find a recently imported mr2 and get that.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Starter motor sound, but engine not turning over, HELP!

You may have knocked a fuse somehow by messing with the interior but that is unlikely.
I'd have a look at the usual suspects; distributor and coil pack.

Did you hear the fuel pump or spark?

Re: Cosmos Blue Beams PG11 - For Sale...?

Only person I know / recoomend was Lyndon though and I think mine was either his last car or near enough. Whatever you do, do not go to Lyndon. Half wired, messed up sensors and a map which had the engine running only off sheer luck. That and 2nd day of driving it and the damned crank sensor wiring...
