Re: [Mk2] [NA] Help me choose please...quick!!!

I can't comment on quality of products because I don't have coilovers... yet!

Just thought thoguh... The BC Coilovers come with top mounts, so if you get them, you'll save money on the top mount side of things, freeing up cash to sort the bushes if they need it!

Good luck :thumleft:

Re: Arch rolling

I used Archenemy too. The chap came to my house on a Saturday morning in February when the weather was at about 2 degreesC and did it for £90 (£80 for rolling + £10 for fuel). I think GTech charges £80 including the courier charges which is good if you get a group of you and share the costs, but I d...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Where to get ARP moly lube? Or, what to use instead?

Hi all, I'm fitting flywheel tomorrow and have bought some ARP flywheel bolts. They didn't come with the ARP moly lube/grease. Is there anywhere local that would do the lube/grease please? If not, what could I use instead? It says 30 weight oil and to increase the torque from 85 ft.lbs to 105ft.lbs,...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Turbo-to-Dowpipe gasket - where from please?

That certainly looks more robust!

I've just called Toyota to add it to my ever growing order list!

I think what I'm spending with them this week, it will almost cover the warranty cost of their sticky throttles! :lol:

Hi all, Do you know where I can get the gasket that goes between the turbo and downpipe (de-cat-) on a rev3 turbo please? Like these, but not so expensive if possible: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330381086780 Would a standard toyota one do the trick? Thanks, James :thuml...

Re: Gauging Intrest in BC Racing Coilovers Group Buy *** PRICE ADDED***

Any ideas on updated prices please? I've just seen this thread and can't believe the price you're offering! If it's still a really good price, I'll be seriously interested!

Re: new tyres are horrible!!

Simple answer.... DON'T BUY CHEAP TYRES!!!!!! Why do people do this? I imagine you, like the rest of us, probably spend your money making the car go faster? So why buy budget tyres.... the most important thing on your car? When I got my rev3 turbo, it had a new set of 18" wheels on with brand n...

Re: Camber Bolts...

I had a set of the camskill ones delivered to my house on Wednesday and will hopefully be fitting them at the weekend. I imagine they both do exactly the same thing, hence why I went for the cheaper items! Loads of people have used them on here, do a search and you'll learn a lot about them! If I ge...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] what engine oil for an mr2 turbo ?

^^^^^ He does have a point!

As I said though, have a chat with the guys at Opie Oils and I'm sure they'll ask those questions and advise you accordingly!

Good luck with it all! :wink:

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] what engine oil for an mr2 turbo ?

Silkolene Pro S 10W50. It's around £50 per 5 litre can, but you won't get a better oil! Opie Oils is where you want to get it from. register on their website, give them your club (IMOC) along with your username iirc then you'll get 10% off of everything automatically. They often do a deal once a mon...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Misifre when on boost? Rev3 Turbo

Right, just a quick update! On Sunday I did a diagnostics check and it was all clear. I then disconnected the HT leads and king lead (both ends) and the MAP sensor and gave them a squirt of wd40. I also took a look at the plugs but they looked perfect which was encouraging! I drove the car this even...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get the US style front indicator/side light units from other than Rogue (http://www.roguemotorsport.com/forms/Product.aspx?ID=319)? I'd like some without the side light/indicator separator inside. At £70 delivered, I think Rogue's price is a bit steep considering the...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Misifre when on boost? Rev3 Turbo

Thanks for your help guys. Going to give it a look over tomorrow. If it's the coil being cracked, as suggested in the other thread, where would I get one? Do general motor factors do them for the turbo? Or are n/a ones the same? I suppose I should ask the same question of the coolant temp sensor too...
