Re: Red Rev 3 tintop turbo (pictures added)
update, facebook memory today shows in came today, 9 years ago.
Are you swapping dizzy for individual coils while on your on or does the new ECU not support that?
I wouldn't be surprised with now hybrid turbo, new rail and injectors and separate coils it should be around 330?

Re: Red Rev 3 tintop turbo (pictures added)
It was one of the first things I did the car, I'd be tempted to say March 2012, so 8 year old and the car had 115,000 miles when MOT'd in match 2012.

Re: Red Rev 3 tintop turbo (pictures added)
I've been keeping an eye on here hoping it would pop back up, here's hoping you look after it better than the lad I sold it to. He really seemed to let it go a bit. Just before I took it off the road for its last winter with me I replaced all the ball joints, drop links, and tracks rod ends, it was ...

Re: [FINALIZED] 1996 Rev3 Turbo Tintop Import - Toms, Chargecooled, 293bhp, REDUCED
If I didn't have 2 kids I'd have this back straight away, spent a lot of time picking this after 2 previous mr2 turbos, and on looking after/mods. Previous owner on here was carlos99 or similar, should be able to find it in the classified as its where I got it from. Since this in my quest to find a ...

Re: Cam belt
Me and outrun did mine in 2 summer afternoons, outside, with more tea and fag breaks than you can imagine. Was the first cambelt for me and I don't think outrun had done many before and none on a mr2. It wasn't that bad really, we've done 2 on outruns since and both have been much quicker simply coz...

Re: Someone crashed into my car - insurance want to write it off!
irrelivant. if their insurers have accepted liability you have a absolute right to demand it is returned to its original condition. tell them you want to take it to a body shop of your choice who will present them with a quotation for repair and you expect that quotation to be accepted. it is only ...

I've seen this several times in the metal in robs garage. It is in really good nick as he says and worth the money as it's all pretty much refreshed.

Re: Immaculate REV3 Turbo - and so my watch begins...
Nice car and the best colour, but I too have doubts about the exhaust. Why is the box so small? It looks weird and look at the size of the fjousbo (sp?) legalis R, same style exhaust and the box is huge. For a box that small if it is reasonably quiet it must be packed tight with wadding or resonator...

Re: [FINALIZED] [FOR SALE] MK2 Rev 3 Turbo
do you know if the 150,000 is a mix of km and miles and if so how much? Seems a bit overpriced tbh mate You are part of the reason as to why these cars never appreciate, or at least worth a representative value. We need to start following the mentality of the Cosworth crew. Any 'enthusiast' who que...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Brake pedal issues (soft/dead spot and long travel)
Really surprised to see you got air from the system. As I may have mentioned to you I had a lot of bother after replacing the calipers getting the pedal to firm up but after replacing the flexis it was pressure bled and they were spot on. Or so I thought as driving that and 2 modern cars back to bac...

Re: Tin top owners - any regret over lack of T-Bar?
None of mine have ever leaked either. [-( All the points above are subjective and differ from car to car. My tintop never felt lighter or less creaky than any of my t-bars. Buffering is only an issue above 60mph. Literally takes 1 minute to get both sides out and stowed. And IMO it looks brilliant ...

Re: Tin top owners - any regret over lack of T-Bar?
2 tbars then a tintop. Much prefer the tin top. The mr2 makes a crap convertible. Noisy. Buffering. A right faff getting the tops off and on. Creaky. Spoils the looks. Drain tubes in your sills rotting your car. Heavier. Leaky. Craig's lives inside he can't comment about leaks lol.

Re: Red Rev 3 tintop turbo. 4 years on and still tinkering. Been on the rollers.
It's went to its new home today. My son had a few tears over it. I think he sees it as our car to go and do boy stuff. Also he likes sitting in the front.
Got a decent wedge of cash now burning a hole in my pocket.

Thanks for the kind words. My son had a few tears this morning and I felt like having some to when it drove off into its new life.
Hits home to see it out in normal traffic how much they stand out.
