Re: Fully testing fuel pump before I replace - Import NA MR2

](*,) So my joy was short lived - the car no longer runs :-( The car ran impeccably well once then refused to start the next day, then burst into life once I put a jump pack on it. Now it refuses to start and I think the new pump is dead, I've changed the fuel filter but with f and b+ bridged no fue...

Re: Fully testing fuel pump before I replace - Import NA MR2

Just to update on this as people took the time to help! Fuel pump fitted this weekend and the car burst into life! Not a job I would like to do again, didn't seem like much in the way of removing things but its just so fiddly! Unfortunately I have a leak coming from above the fuel tank which nearly ...

Re: Fully testing fuel pump before I replace - Import NA MR2

I couldn't hear the pump whirring when I connected a 12v supply directly to the plug but to be honest I have another white MR2 that is running and I can't hear that pump running either :-/ Im conscious about dropping the tank to find out its something else? Interesting to hear about your predicament...

Fully testing fuel pump before I replace - Import NA MR2

Hi all, I've got a 1992 Rev 2 MR2 import 3sge that had been sitting for 5 or so years before I got hold of it. The car won't start but turns over well with a good spark, im 99% sure its fuel pump but the previous owner told me it did run once when it was removed from storage and then stopped (this c...

Re: MK2 MR2 - Loud knocking noise from rear at low speed, rubbing at high speed :-(

I haven't got the wheels off yet but the side that i think it is (drivers) had a brand new drop link prior to my ownership :-s I did think those at start but they both look (from what i can see) ok Could they ARB bushes be knackered and causing the bar to rub/knock? its odd that the loud noise goes ...

MK2 MR2 - Loud knocking noise from rear at low speed, rubbing at high speed :-(

Hello, Hoping someone can shed some light, I have an MK2 MR2 that has just developed a knocking noise from the rear. I'll do my best to explain... When going slowly you can hear a knock associated with the turn of the wheels, i.e knock, pause, knock etc When you speed the knock turns into a rubbing ...

Re: TOMS C7r Split Rim Wheels - much demand?

They are genuine TOMS wheels by the looks of things so would be genuine splits.

Online facts say they are

16x7 front with a 35 offset
16x8 rear with a 38 offset

I'll try and get it on a jack tonight and see if there are some markings etc

Re: TOMS C7r Split Rim Wheels - much demand?

I think these are staggered but they are 16's not 17's

I think I'll stick them on eBay and see what interest there is :-)

Thanks for the info chaps!

TOMS C7r Split Rim Wheels - much demand?

Hi, Is there much demand for these wheels? they are in need of a refurb but look structurally sound and have the oe centre caps and some of the sticker remaining. This is not a for sale post (but if this post is breaking rules then please delete) I just wondered if these are popular/rare wheels or i...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Just purchased a Turbo, advice on whats fitted, FCON ECU and engine bay bits

Thanks, I'll stick proper fuel it anyway but im tempted to have it put on a dyno.

Also is there any reason why the dump valve seems to be in a different place to most? I would have thought it would have been less effort to remove the oe than weld it up?

Well just to close the thread the car was a bit of a disaster, they where friendly enough the chap apologised on behalf of his dad who had listed it. The car was butchered beyond saving really, to give an example the whole engine, i mean the whole engine from the exhaust to the throttle cable and ev...

Hi all, I'm due to look at an MR2 on Sunday, the owner says its a Turbo and it has the raised vents (I know this could be a swap) and its a tin top so assuming an import at the least? Its very local so i'm not fussed if I get there and its not a turbo but if they never made one in that colour then i...

Re: Suspension knock over light bumps but can't find anything loose underneath!

Thanks Gaz, I've recently replaced the drop links when I fitted new front shocks / top mounts so can't imagine its them? I honestly thought with the amount of noise coming from the front that it would be really noticeable what was loose underneath but everything just seemed so tight. I've ordered so...

Re: Suspension knock over light bumps but can't find anything loose underneath!

Ah OK, that's not a bad shout. Doesn't look like a tragic job so I might do them first and go from there.

Suspension knock over light bumps but can't find anything loose underneath!

Hi, hoping someone can advise what I change first! I have a front suspension knock which has been growing In noise over the last few weeks. You can hear it over light bumps or potholes when travelling at speed and when you're at low speed over a speedbump it creaks. Anyway I checked under the car wi...

[Mk2] [NA] Replacement sump for MK2 NA 3SGE - Can i use this one from a Celica?

Hi, I think (know) my sump is leaking. I believe its coming from the seal but i often find a build up on the bottom of the sump itself and i hear the sump on these can become porous over time? I'm thinking just spend a little more and get a new sump as no doubt its a messy job! I can't find a Rev 1/...
