Re: mongoose clearance any pics?

Must be turbo, as the NA Mongoose is just the backbox - so the original pipe goes over the subframe and under the sump.

Re: 1999 key fob distance?!?

Search on here, it's a very common problem with the TVSS-IIIB ecu module.
They seriously degrade with age.

The TVSS-IIIB was fitted to UK rev4/5.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] New battery needed...any recommendations...

When I changed mine I just got one from Toyota, £45.
That was a few years back now, but it was a reasonable price then :)

Re: Mk2 prices on the up......

Prices in general of mk2's seem to be very high on ebay and autotrader.

I'd say stupidly high too.
UK rev1's listed at £3,000 WTF =;

The knowledge base could do with a makeover anyway. I mentioned years ago that the guide photos should be stored on the imoc servers otherwise the photos just go missing, this is how they're done on mr2oc. My guides on there are missing lots of pics, I've not deleted them, but they were hosted by im...

Re: UK rev5 N/A to Jap rev5 Turbo conversion

I wasn't mocking you ;) Most manufacturers do put bigger brakes on their more powerful specced cars, regardless of weight, but Toyota didn't with the MR2. The chassis is the same :) Although JDM cars had stiffer suspension. AFAIK UK & JDM cars were undersealed the same. Speed limiter I guess wou...

Re: UK rev5 N/A to Jap rev5 Turbo conversion

I'm thinking its the best of both worlds, but could be wrong? I assume the brakes would have needed to have been upgraded ideally? No sure what you mean by "best of both worlds"? What does the UK car have that the turbo wouldn't have? Unless you're really really after a sunroof :mrgreen: ...

Re: Replacing Shock Absorbers

I presume it's a UK rev5?

If so, yes you can just buy inserts.

But the inserts will cost you around the same price as brand new whole shock absorbers from Toyota. I paid £252 for all four shocks from Toyota 6 years ago, so they're around £63 each.
