I'd agree with that, about £4-5K IMHO.

I've just come across this MK1a for sale on 'Pistonheads' which looks like a lovely example. I'm sure I saw the same car for sale 2-3 years ago (probably when the current owner bought it) but from memory the asking price was a lot less than it is now, possibly half the current asking price, it was o...

the 2ZZ-GE is the coolest swap though IMO. it retains the natural feel of the MR2, revs higher, reduces weight, comes with a 6 speed box, and makes 190bhp with VVTi. however its generally a more expensive engine and a hard swap due to OBD-II electronics ( it physically bolts in very easily , the wi...

What planet is he on!!!

I thought that was the case Anyway thanks for the reply and the the link I'll have to give it some more thought

Does any know if there is a standard replacement exhaust on the market but made in stainless? I know about the Magnex/Mongoose/Janspeed types available but I wanted something in standard sizes only made in stainless for longevity and finish etc but I haven't been able to find anything? Cheers.

this 2,500 miler came up for sale last year asking £10K http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l256/supercharger_1963/lowmileagemk1-1.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l256/supercharger_1963/lowmileagemk1jpg7.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l256/supercharger_1963/lowmileagemk1jpg3.jpg http://i...

:lol: sorry mate, that's just Toyota - the parts department at any decent sized Toyota garage. If yours were anything like mine I'd say you need new ones - they're only a couple of quid each. Tony has also posted a list of bolts you need which I would advise you get, having learnt the hard way and ...

I've got to get round to fitting my bush kit, who are Toymota in case I need to order any?

Well I'll definitely have a set if it comes off

The auction has ended for these now but I'd been trying to confirm if this was in fact a MK1 kit, or as I suspect a MK2 (non-turbo) kit before I bid. I'd already asked the seller who said he bought it from Merlin Motorsport and gave me a link to the product on their website but it appreared to be a ...

Sorry forgot to add the link Have just done it

Just spotted this on ebay but didn't think there was such a kit available? There certainly isn't one listed on the Samco website, has anyone seen one for sale before? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-MR2-Mk1-Samco-Silicon-Coolant-Hose-Kit_W0QQitemZ290334981483QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_Car...

Coo, thread revival!

The hose fits in the engine bay between the slave cylinder assembly and the hard pipe on the chassis. They're available from www.speed-source.net (the manufactureres) as well. [/quote]


Thanks for that I think I might add one to my next order!

I've got one on my car, wouldn't have recommended it otherwise. :wink: Not sure whether it makes much of a difference as the clutch feel on Mk1s is so individual and I fitted a new clutch at the same time. The clutch is quite heavy, but I like it like that. I've seen these on the 'twosrus' website ...

Thanks for the warning, I'll check for that!

I've got a mk3 roadster alloy in my frunk and it fits perfectly with no alteration or change of bolt :? Yeh but the problem is mine aren't MK3 wheels plus I also wanted the face of the wheel showing outwards in the frunk (rather than backwards) which is why the bolt is far too short! Anyway I've so...

Yeh thanks for that, I'd been thinking along those lines too. The other option I've thought about is using a 15" space saver spare from a MK3 MR2 which will obviously be a lot thinner.

Has anyone used any alternative methods of securing their spare wheel in the frunk? I've just fitted 15" wheels and have a matching spare I want to carry but because the wheel/tyre combo is slightly bigger than the stock the standard bolt/clamp is too short and is also slightly offset now so ca...

Thanks for that I think if anything it's a camber issue as I was forgetting the struts have all been off over the winter and lowering springs fitted so all the settings will be out anyway
