Re: ( SOLD SOLD SOLD ) Mr2 GT Turbo Rev2 (Low mileage)

Sorry, has to be a sale. I am planning on using my wife's old polo as community run around and she is going to get a nice new family car.

I don't really want to sell my Mr2, but it has to go!

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Mr2 boost vs renault 5gt turbo boost.........Question?

Eh? I was told i can run 17/18PSi with just an uprated IC, then up to 20-22 with better management and fuelling , is this not right? Everyone seems to get a bit nervous recomending anything over 15 psi standard, unless you start mapping, intercooler etc........££££££ etc.. But why can the renault r...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Mr2 boost vs renault 5gt turbo boost.........Question?

Strange question maybe, but I have always liked the Renault 5 GT turbo, however never been brave enough to buy one given their reliabilty problems and my poor grasp of mechanics. I have also been bitten by renaults in the past! However, I am bemused as to why 5 turbos are capable of running crazy am...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Wheel refurbing query

Get it done professionally, it will only cost about £40 per rim. I was thinking of using these guys to restore my original 5 spokes.

They look like a decent outfit at very reasonable prices.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] anybody know this car/garage

Oh, and regarding mileage, I wouldn't worry too much. Just take each car at face value is the best thing to do.

Good luck in finding one!

Standard intercooler too. :-k

Looks suspicious to me.

Why not just by a car off IMOC. There have been some real bargains lately.

Nothing wrong with Rev 2's.

Surely a good rev 2 is better than a bad rev 3??

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Whats a safe boost level?

It seems like nobody really wants to commit to a figure regarding boost levels. I have recently increased the boost on my rev 2 turbo to 15 PSI. I have a Berk intercooler, which I guess helps from a safety perspective, but I am running the old CT 26 turbo which I understand doesn't like too much boo...

Get rid and spend the money on a clean rev 1 turbo from someone selling on this board. It will make sense in the long run, saving you a fortune with which you can put towards insurance! From the problems you describe, putting it right will cost a fortune. You should be able to pick up a nice rev1 tu...

Re: [All] [Generic] modifications

When I first looked at getting the MR2 turbo, I wanted a completely standard car. I had no intention of modifying. However 2 years on and I have put an induction kit on, uprated the intecooler and increased my boost from 10 - 15psi. All I can say is wow! What a difference. I did try it at 18 psi bri...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] colour magic polish

The 300 quid stuff you speak of is Zymol. There is nothing in it that makes it special from a 10 quid tub of carnauba paste wax from a certain company in the UK believe it or not. Your paying for the packaging,the name 'Zymol' and if i recall correctly,they will refil your tub FOC for life? Miles o...
