Re: Are Turbo and N/A radiators the same?

Are Turbo and N/A radiators the same?

As per the title really. I have a Rev3 Turbo and the rad is starting to fall apart. Is the N/A rad smaller and if so, is this a negative (I would assume it is, otherwise, why make 2 models?) Toyota want £245 + VAT which I will get if it's the best thing - I would prefer quality over cost. Also, I wa...

[Mk2] [Generic] how to change Window Mechanism?

Hi, My driver side window is broken. The motor and switch is fine, however, when I ask it to go down there is a lot of clicking and then the window just falls from fully up to fully down. When I ask it to go back up there is again a lot of clicking but the window will not go back up unless I lift it...

Re: 23rd Feb - Cold Weather Rolling Road

So, what's the plan for this then?

How much is it, do we just pay on the day, what time to arrive etc,

Cheers

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Something that has baffled me since ownership

Mine does this after hard braking to a standstill over bumps.

Pretty sure it's the ABS servo. No problems have arisen as a result in 9yrs of ownership.

Wouldn't worry about it

Re: Which uprated bulbs and wiring fogs to come with main beam.

I used to have a 1998 106 gti and when you put the full beam on, the fog lights came on. There was no other way to switch them on except with full beam. Does this make them driving lights? Either way, I therefore think that legality shouldn't be too much of an issue. I too find the MR2 fogs a useful...

Re: Steering 'twang'

I had this on an old car.

Took it apart, cleaned and greased up the top mount and all sorted. Didn't come back in the following 2 yrs before I sold it.

Re: Blitz nurspec vs mongoose dual exit

I'm sure i read that the nur spec was tuned for torque, hence the long pipe work.

Not sure how much difference and if you would notice though??

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Boost in higher gears question...

Maybe try putting it back to standard and see what happens?

Mine hits 12 psi in 2nd and 15 psi in 3rd, 4th and 5th. No issues with boost tailing off, although does spike to 14 psi in 2nd and 16ish in 4th and 5th on cold days.

Re: What sort of brake setup are you running...?

I have carbotech pads (fast road, not race), standard toyota discs, standard brake lines and castrol super dot 4 brake fluid.

No warping, fade or other issues. Simply epic performance all day....and I give them one hell of a lot of grief.

Re: window switches

I would check your wiring loom. I once had a 306 that suddenly wouldn't turn off (engine) when you took the key out. I guess that's kinda similar to you. Turned out that two wires had somehow shorted out and the heat had caused the surrounding wires' insulation to melt and therefore short out. Don't...
