So my mate used his AA membership, they came out and found the plugs where drenches in fuel. Managed to try them out and got her starting keeping the revs up until all the plugs where dried etc. Took it for a spin, all good - boosting fine. Lower revs where fine. Left it idling in a car park for 10 ...

Forgot to say, it does STINK of fuel now when I turned it over

Got to car this morning, flat battery Tried jumping - turned over very slowly but wouldnt start at all Got a new battery @ halfords, rated at 510 amps Still wont start!! it turns over really healthy now but wont fire. is it possible I flooded the engine earlier trying to start it or something? Any t...

No cel flashes, cant check for codes without faffing around with flashing LEDs apparently. Running Vpower, unknown uprated tubby Although sometimes the Traction control "TRC" warning light comes on and wont go until i restart the engine.. Don't think thats related to the misfire I had thou...

Well touch-wood I fixed it just by taking it out for a blast.

left it on 10psi and took it for a spin then gradually turned the boost up to 15psi and its been fine. not a single misfire.

fingers crossed it holds up!

OK cheers mate, will give that a try

Picked car up last week (rev 3), running at 15psi no problem Left in garage for a week due to snow. Got out this weekend and its got a misfire kicking in causing the car to shudder and drop power unless I wind the boost down to just under 10psi The battery did go flat and we had to jump it. Would a ...

rofl, god knows. Just saying what I saw on the MOT

Must be

Maybe that includes the mechanic if they are sitting in the car at the time? lol

Check your last MOT certificate and associated print outs, mine has weight info from when they did the suspension tests I think.

1400kg for a Rev3 tubby

Has anyone got a link to a place that sells a good polybush kit?

Cheers,

its had a new dizzy cap/rota arms and new plugs - should be good on that front

Might look into polybushing as I guess 15 year old bushes have seen better days

haha, whats wrong with number 3?

Fair play lol

The 1.4 was the higher end of the settings he was showing me. I think "normal use" was lower

Dont want to risk it going pop if i can help it so will make sure its at 1.2 (until I can afford forged stuff lol)

I have a rev3 turbo, recently purchased running 1.4 on an aftermarket turbo and has been mapped. What sort of BHP would this likely to be run? (Sorry I dont know the exact turbo, just wondering what the average is for this sort of boost really) Feels faster than my 320bhp skyline at least but can b...

Thought a bit of fun, and as I just got my MR2 MK2 Rev3 tubby!

If people list their top 3 tips for owning these cars? Could be driving style related, mechanical notes or any "must know" type infos really

Well again the colder denser outside the exhaust means any flames will burn a bit easier and therefore bigger and brighter.. it all helps!

My old skyline used to shoot ridiculous flames in the cold.

Cold air = denser air = more boost = more flames!

They do look awesome, shame its not RWD

He said it was on the standard ECU but remapped?
