Cool, thanks Nic

Although not entirely standard (don't think my mods will do too much to effect mpg) I get between 18 and 22 mpg. But I only use it to go out for weekend thrashes, not a lot of motorway.

Long motorway runs see about 30 though.

Track days see less than 10.

I have been reading this with great interest and after other research it seems the EVC6 or i-colour is the one to go for. I'm leaning towards the HKS but does the dual solenoid of the blitz really make a difference and if so, would that be a better choice? Not looking for lots of boost, prob 16 ish ...

hi all, as the title says i snapped 3 bolts to bolt manifold to engine block. is there any way of sorting this out? If its any consolation, I did exactly this and decided to take the car to a pro before I made it undrivable. Not sure of the technique but Rogue managed to get all my snapped studs ou...

My red rev3 is as shiny now as when it was new. It had a respray in 2002 but since then has been garaged and always kept clean and waxed. I have averaged 5,000 miles a year since then and all is good. So......they're not all faded and they don't all fade! I recently had a new bumper and the new pain...

It's probably running actuator pressure because it doesn't know the engine is warm.

Fix the temp/temp gauge/thermostat problem and the boost issue may fix itself.

I have a genuine blitz bung that came with the exhaust. I think absolutely no problem using it, otherwise why would they provide it? It does quieten it a lot....and you will notice a loss of power. I only ever use it for the MOT. A mate uses his to be allowed to track the car at Bedford......no repe...

Certainly a Phoenix power, i have one too.

I used stock fan and was easy to fab mounting brackets for the fan.

To mount the intercooler I used a cocktail of the mounting points From the stock intercooler.

Sorry, can't remember exactly how, but it wasn't that difficult to do in my garage.

Ahhh, great.

I'll call toyota for the cost of a new one tomorrow and then get back to you. My MX5 gasket was about £20 but I'm sure the MR2 will be more.....

Thanks

Right, looks like a call to Mr T. is in order tomorrow then.

And just when I thought I had finished fixing things (turbo, seized calipers, bent alloys, rubbing tyres, CV Boots)!!!!

Was worried I'd have nothing to do, except possibly drive the thing.....

Thanks for your swift response.

I have oily gunk (not much of it though) around where the rocker cover meets the engine, on the side underneath the BOV. So......do the gaskets just perish over time? Does it really matter? Will it get worse and then matter? Should I change it early? Is there anything else that could cause the mess ...

I have just inherited some Falken 452s.

They seem to be pretty good, however, I had 225 eagle F1 on the rear and they hung on like a limpit.....the Falkens are 235 and they light up all the time (not necessarily a bad thing though!!!!)

That's exactly correct.

I have this on my rev3 turbo

Just seen them in your driveway.

Looked like a fairly modded turbo with border front and an N/A with a toms scoop.

Ok, hopefully I'm not posting too prematurely, however, problem seems solved. When I last removed the piston (to replace the rubber seal and boots) I slightly roughened up the edge where the rubber covers. It's my view that this caused the rubber to split, dust to enter and piston to stick (rather t...

Nothing to worry about.

Do you have an import? It could be the speedo converter. I had exactly this.

I changed the converter (or you could remove it) and problem solved

I would bleed all 4.

Start furthest from master cylinder and end at closest.

Ie back passenger side, back driver side, front passenger and finish front driver side.

Also, it's not theoretical!!

I had my rev3 tubby at the redline in 5th when it was totally standard.

In Germany of course! Speedo read 165mph, so, looks like it gets
more accurate the faster you go. It reads 40 mph at 30....

I tried all sorts to get mine off. In the end I just swallowed hard and bought the largest breaker bar in Halfords (£27 I think).

Hub nut came off straight away with no drama.

And now I have a decent breaker bar forever.

Think I may have got to the bottom of this: One of the rubber boots over the piston has split (after 2000 miles!!). The undamaged booted piston extends and relaxes as it should, however, the one with the damaged boot will extend but not relax. So....not properly seized but enough to keep the pad aga...
