Re: Finally brought a Mk1 !
:-k Why do people always bang on about welding work being done as if it's a problem? As long as it's done well I don't see the problem... Would you rather buy a car that has been rusty and been restored to it's former power or have yet another example of such a work of art become a little cube of tw...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] What is THIS bit made of? HELP ME!!!
By using a pulse you are relying on molecular momentum rather than continual power. To use an analogy, when you used to spin a hoop down the road you didn't continually hold it and turn it bit by bit, you pushed the top with a stick every now and again. That way you use a fraction of the energy!

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] What is THIS bit made of? HELP ME!!!
Simon, you owe me a house, when should I collect the paperwork?! The trouble is everyone thinks of it in terms of one complete process, ie water=engine movement, but it doesn't work like that, it is in three stages that this system works. As has been explained before, the HHO is created and is then ...

Obviously you don't do the whole tank at once! the tank just keeps the generator topped up to the level it needs to produce the right quantities at any given time!

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] What is THIS bit made of? HELP ME!!!
There are 2 basic elements to the circuit, a pair of electrodes and a toroid coil. one makes the orthohydrogen and oxygen, the other parahydrogen and oxygen. The entire unit runs from a normal 12Vdc car source, and is closely monitored by a pressure gauge (for the actual generator/converter) and a C...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] What is THIS bit made of? HELP ME!!!
No, not water injection, that is old tech, it was used in Spitfires in WWII (So was NOS, incidentally) This system works by splitting the molecules in water down to hydrogen and oxygen. There are two types of hydrogen present in water, orthohydrogen and parahydrogen. By varying the different levels ...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] What is THIS bit made of? HELP ME!!!
aha, there will be mostly water, very little petrol. Me and my dad converted his Toyota HiLux to run on water and I want to do the same to my 2, he's running about 25% more power since the conversion! Long story!! The short version is: Petrol companies are b@$tards So is the government I don't want ...

Jolly good show, cheers fella!
Now, does anybody know where I can get the piston chambers ceramic coated so they won't rust? Or are they coated in something already?

[Mk2] [Generic] What is THIS bit made of? HELP ME!!!
Hey This might sound like a stupid set of questions... I have a mk2 N/A, I think it's a rev 2 (It's a J reg, anyway) 1. What are the pistons made out of? Aluminium? 2. What are the piston chambers made out of? Hopefully aluminium again? 3. Is the standard manifold made of steel, s/steel or iron? It ...

Re: T-Bar Flex... ??
Also with a T-bar you can get lightweight roof panels in fibreglass (although in one piece to make a targa top) or carbon fibre (in two pieces like the glass) and actually save on weight against the tin tops! Even if you only get to take the roof off for 20 minutes in the course of an "English ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Just got my first MR2 :D
I know that Bomex wings tend to be a little unpopular, but for my money they LOOK SO GOOD!!

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Bootlid leaking - HELP!
Hmmm... the boot/engine bay grommet didn't seem to be loose, just to be on the safe side I took it out and ran silicone sealant around the groove just to be sure, not to mention changing the spoiler today - hopefully one or the other will cure it!

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Bootlid leaking - HELP!
It's just collecting in the bottom, it's like a fish tank in there! I'm changing the spoiler anyway, I don't know if anyone would like a veilside spoiler - if you do, and pick it up or pay for postage then it's yours! I'm going down the CF route... So if I get a decent seal on this new spoiler, do y...
