I'm not entirely sure, it just got popped in my car by mistake and took about year or so to work out what the issue was :lol:
I just binned it and put a new standard one in there.

Hey man,

That was a quote from Paul Woods, he's the one that'll know about it :thumleft:

BTW - my issue was down to the incorrect thermostat being accidentally fitted to my car when it was at Lukes place having a bunch of work done yonks ago.

The car is now on it's merry way to Belgium :)
A fantastic Toyota enthusiast came over, brought cash, beer AND chocolates with him :thumleft:
Looking forwards in seeing what he'll do with it over time.

The car is still available, although may be put on SORN and stored in a very secure, dry location. It will be about 30 mins from my house, so if anyone is interested I'll need fair warning as I can't just nip into where it'll be stored. Whilst it's there I can polish the paint, clean the engine bay ...

Re: [FINALIZED] Black 1993 - MR2 Rev 3 N/A - 'Tin Top' - Offers welcome

Just a brief update. The spring noise : I've been told by Jez what causes it when I was at Horsham Developments last week. Essentially only the bottom of the strut is turning when the wheel is turning at very slow speeds, and it just twangs once it's moved into position. It just need a bit of lube a...

Re: [FINALIZED] Black 1993 - MR2 Rev 3 N/A - 'Tin Top' - Offers welcome

Don't be shy to make an offer on it, I'm more than willing to negotiate a price we'd both be happy with (as I just had a stab in the dark with the price).
:thumleft:

Weekend viewings are probably better for you as during the week I get back in when it's dark, either way is cool :thumleft:

Popped a price up now.
And just getting a reading for the tread depths on the tyres.

Just to note, I can't get any photo's in daylight until Saturday, as I get home pretty late from London every day.

Appreciate the patience guys.

Apologies for that, the thread is Work In Progress.
I'd like to get more photo's up but feel free to PM offers or make suggestions, I've got a figure in mind I guess. :-k

Black 1993 - MR2 Rev 3 N/A - 'Tin Top' - Offers welcome

(more photo's and details coming ASAP, and maybe a video for the exhaust) So after around 4 years of ownership, I'm having to put my brilliant little MR2 up for sale. I hadn't planned on selling the car for quite a while yet, or even at all as I wanted to turn it eventually into a track only car. I...

Re: dash bulbs

How much of a pain was that to do, and is it distractingly bright at night ?

Was it this product ?

I'll stick with T1R's whilst they are being made, saves me having to purchase a fancy new set of wheels :lol:

That was for road use :thumleft:

I'm going to stick with T1R's for now as I've got some other things to sort out this month, but I may try the v70a's on the spare wheels next month 8)

Re: Kumho V70A tyres on stock 15" wheels ?

The other compounds aren't available at the moment, originally the medium would be my choice. Definitely NOT budget at all :thumleft: Yeah I've used the T1R's for the last 3 years, it's just that flexing under quick direction changes that feels really nasty. Even just try turning left/right in a str...

Kumho V70A tyres on stock 15" wheels ?

Hey guys, Time to replace my tyres but these Kumho's popped up on my radar. I was thinking about the hard compound for day to day road use plus a few track days here and there. Typically I use Toyo T1R's, which I think are great EXCEPT for the sidewall flex, it's really horrid but always grips. Also...
