Hi just got my rev3 back from garage, compression test & sniffer test carried out. Compression was 100 psi all 4 cylinders anyone know if this is good or bad? also the sniffer test was positive blown head gasket. I am Dubious about this as 3S say they have hardly ever seen a rev3 head gasket fai...

Hi does anyone know any garages that know about or have experience of working on mr2's in the southampton area?

The suspension on the turbo mr2's seems to be very firm giving a much harder ride than an n/a would anyone agree?

Hi anyone know the location of the water pump on a rev3 turbo? also any tips on checking/testing it would be helpfull think i got circulation trouble with the coolant.

Before i got my turbo i had a G limited n/a rev 2 T-bar insured with tescos, i dont think they're bothered about the roof, aint like its a soft top. Try phonin em.

Hi easy way to spot an import is to look for the TOBELERONE side repeaters at the side of the nosecone uk cars have em set further up the wings. Your photo has tobelerones so its an import. Also all turbos are imports as they were never officially brought to europe.

Hi easy way to identify an import is to look for the TOBELERONE side repeaters at the edge of the nose cone. as in your pic. uk ones are set further up the wings. also all turbos are imports as they were never officially brought to europe. Having jap writing all over the sunvisors is a bit of a give...

TESCO'S believe it or not, they do a good price too you're only allowed 6 mods though any more n they'll gel you on.

yeah the DVLA doesnt list em as turbo's they go down as MR2 GT
well mine does anyway

good topic, it would be a pretty sorry modifying scene if all we had was the latest remap to compare. As long as the cars from the 90's golden era of JDM are still on the road we're still in business but as you say we're a "dying breed" and most of our rides are at least 10 yrs old now.

I found a full jap toyota service history log in the glove box! lol

anyone seen the bonnet spoiler from phoenix power back in the late 90's? anyone know where to get phoenix power parts or if they're still in business?

Hi my rev3 turbo has exactly the same symptoms water droplets n sooty black oil or unburnt fuel residue in the tail pipe. I think its just condensation from the exhaust sweating up from cold. The soot is the engine overfuelling Mr2 turbos are designed to run a bit rich so i'd just chill man. Unless ...

AUTOTEKK in hazel rd woolston are pretty good, did my Greddy front lip great colour match for carribean blue. Ask for Tony

The blitz super sound dump valve is a great BOV loud and comes with interchangeable trumpets for different sounds! Its fully atmospheric though, no recirc pipe so may not suit rev1.

i have tip, may not give extra power but helps with charge temps: pull the plug out of the engine bay temp sensor (underside of engine cover) this puts the intercooler fan into fail safe mode, so it runs all the time, preventing the intercooler being heat soaked by the engine, resulting in cooler in...

Thanks for the advice, i let it run for an hour today temp stayed normal, fans cutting in etc seems ok now. took her out for a good blast after spooling up fine no power loss or high temps, must have been an airlock i guess. full coolant flush & refill tomoro, happy days.

Hi can anyone know what this is? car overheated coolant dumping itself out of expansion tank overflow, coolant is muddy n sludgy. no mayo in oil though. any ideas?
