Hi, the time has come to sell my MR2 Turbo. I've owned the car for just under 2 years and thoroughly enjoyed owning it. The car has had extensive work carried out to update the engine and chassis. I just had the car rolling road tested at power station in Tewksbury and it made 258BHP and 278ft/lbs o...

they look wicked mate, was it a DIY job or did u pay?

if it was DIY have u got any pics of ur progress because the enkeis on my tubby are in great need of a refurb.

i've got a set of enkei split rims. i'm not sure what model they are but they look very similar to the rota GT3 model. the ones i've seen work out as 18lbs (8.16kgs) on the front and 19lbs (8.61kgs) on the back. whats considered light? i havent weighed the ones i've got on there at the mo. i just wa...

Hi all, I just got back, well got back on sunday from a wicked trip at the nurburgring. It was my second trip, the firs time taking my old mx5 but this time in the tubby was out of this world. Properly fell in love with the car around there... anyhow to the point, i'm after some track tyres, and tho...

ah wicked, cheers for the info. i'll try and trace the wire back and see where it leads too. its definitely the sump plug so i guess it must have, maybe when it was in japan... there is the faint outline of the marks left by a dash mounted gauge pod so that could explain it...

Hi All, Basically when I was changing my bushes last week I had a mooch around the underneath of my tubby. The sump plug appears to be standard but has wires coming out of it... i'm wondering if its an oil temp sender? the car doesn't have an aftermarket oil temp gauge so does the ecu need the readi...

few piccies from the polybushing session and a recent blast i had with my mate in his new e39 m5... we're both of to the nurburgring next month so all the prepping is for that. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs461.snc3/25365_394566822400_727472400_4458365_3161319_n.jpg when i removed my...

gotta love this weather, just spent the day abusing my hands trying to fit a full set of poly bushes to the mrpoo. the fronts were a breeze... i was sat there sippin a san miguel thinking i knew Japanese cars were nice to work on but this is a joke... then took off one back wheel at 13:00... its now...

would a leak down test show a headgasket leak?

bottom line is i dont wanna pull her apart to find its ok. would the trd metal headgasket be reusable or am i looking at a brand spanker every time?

White smoke is deffo water, when your checking your hoses, with the engine running, just feel the water hoses and see if they feel really solid, sometimes when the gasket goes, you can pressurise the water system, and when you shut down, the water makes its way into the cylinder, hence the white sm...

Just done a compression test on my rev 2 tubby, results are as follows;

Cylinder 1 - 175psi
Cylinder 2 - 173psi
Cylinder 3 - 180psi
Cylinder 4 - 175psi

these look like healthy results????

right just done the compression test... results as follows; cylinder 1 - 175psi cylinder 2 - 173psi cylinder 3 - 180psi cylinder 4 - 175psi are these healthy results? she has done just over 80,000miles. still puffs a bit of white smoke on start up. could this be from water in the exhaust pipe? could...

Hi all, had a problem develop on my rev 2 tubby lately...basically the story goes; Last sunday i'm checking the car over, top up the oil as it was reading lowish on the marked area on the dip stick... i filled it upto the top of the mark when the car had been run for 5 mins. she has a remote oil fil...

Hi all,
just a quick one.
i'm trying to get a set of polybushes for my rev2 gts and i'm not sure which front tie bar bushes to go for. do the rev 2 ones have the nut on the end or is that just rev1 ones?

any help would be wicked before i venture out and jack the car up lol.
cheers

what turbo would you go for? wanted something with super quick spool. surely i need forgies inside for 400bhp? I have a gt30 and for a bigger turbo the spool is great, full boost by 4000rpm, i'm seeing around 335 bhp with the boost controller off and she should see over 500bhp at 2 bar, i think i w...

Hi all, i'm tom. got a rev 2 tubby with a rev 3 conversion and a few other mods and i'm thinking of upgrading and uprating pretty much everything to make a really flexible fast, reliable motor that goes as well as it handles. I need to keep it useable so i'm not goin to go for a boot mount intercool...
