Sold Pending payment..............................................

Time to sell my Rev 3 Tubby. I live in Huddersfield West Yorkshire, 1st to pay will bag this beauty (Cash sale only) Over the last 2 years (owned 5yrs) this has merely being a play thing for me, covering just 4k miles in last 12 months. This is the GT model as such comes fully loaded including elect...

Yes mate you are correct.

The fans are controlled in part by the air con ECU and should the ECU see anything not quite right (in your case a missing rad sensor) then it'll engage safety mode which puts both fans on full blast all the time.

Yes, this is the vacum pipe for the servo / break booster

My Rev 3 Tubby is on 135'000 miles, the last 30'000 was running 1.2 bar on the CT20, charge cooled and Link G3, late 200's BHP. Touch wood all is fine and should be for much longer. In theory if engines are looked after enough they should last a very long time. I've heard of Toyota's doing 250'000 m...

I've recently put Toyo T1R's on my Tubby's rears and have lost all confidence in carrying BIG speed in bends, especially during direction change. I've increased pressures which has improved things a little. I'm just hoping as the miles stack up the tyres will get better. If things are still the same...

I think I could well of gotten to the bottom of this one. Have been reading some posts about Toyo T1R's being a bit pants (stock 15" size) and having major flex in the sidewalls. The advice was to increase tyre pressures to minimise the flex. Anyways, I've increased the pressures 3psi above sto...

I wish the captive nut had sheared from the subframe as at least i could sort this but there fine, checked after reading a post mentioning them. I'm still thinking it could be the ball joints but also the bushes that attach the trailing arms to the chassis. If there is moment in these it would in tu...

Seems like a growing trend, as I'm suffering this strange (steer from the rear ) type handling. Spec:- Rev 3 Standard Alloys Toyo's 195/55/15 & 225/50/15 Tein super streets New drop links + Anti Roll Bushes 4 wheel alignment carried out to Dino settings:- Front toe = 1mm Rear toe = 2mm Neg cambe...

When you put your foot down does the Turbo spool up but you don't get the increase in power? If this is the case as was with mine then the Cam timing is out. I changed the Cam belt on my Tubby and afterwards when putting foot down I could hear the turbo spooling as per normal but the extra power was...

The Rev 3 onwards Tubbys have multi layer steel head gaskets so I'd torque to the values quoted for Rev 3.


I used ARP (stud and nut) head bolts when i did mine so the torque (65lbft) will not apply to standard stretch bolts.

hope this helps

Thought it would be handy to convert these figures into mm's Dinos settings:- Front toe (total) = 0.4mm or degrees and mins +0°04' Rear toe (total) = 2.1mm or degrees and mins +0°30' Camber front (negative) 3.6mm or degrees and mins -0°50' Camber rear (negative) 9mm or degrees and mins -1°25' It goe...

Daft as it sounds but dental floss works fine, wrap around and use a sawing motion. No marking of paint, job done. In your case it seems they may well of been taken off to be coloured red, i hope they didn't use epoxy or sumat to stick em back on, that would of been evil. Hope all goes well Spannerm...

Woah, excellent work mate.

I can't fault your efforts, totally brilliant. I think if more people were as adventurous as you and got stuck in there'd be less running costs.

Much credit to you

All the best with your continued work

Sorry to say this guys but mine was exactly like what your experiencing.

Replaced all the little things, thermostat / Rad cap etc. Ultimately it turned out to be the head gasket.

2.5% bio-fuel aint gonna do owt to the RON value. Its simply too little.


20% + may make a difference

Yup same here,

Little bumps, the big stuff aint a problem.


Worse is a continus mildly uneven surface, its more like a hollow rumble then.

Annoying as Fooooooook!

The Bilsteins that I replaced with the Tein Coilovers where fitted to a friends N/A MR2. We used his top mounts and guess what, no knocking. I'm gonna replace the rear top mounts at some point but also have a look around the car. It almost sounds like someone is tapping the resonator box by the air ...

Is she reving up a lot quicker now then.


Say you blip the throttle whilst out of gear do the rev's shoot up quicker than with the stock heavy fly wheel.

Rev's like a F1 car????

I've replaced all the below:- --- Shocks with Tein Coil Overs --- Drop Links --- Anti Roll bar bushes (Front / rear) --- Ball joints (Front) --- Top mounts (Front) I still get the wooden knocking noise from Rear. It can't be any of the above, all I can see it being now is either Ball joints (rear) o...
