Re: gona shoot the person who wired the stereo before me.

Mine was hardwired in, so when the ignition was turned off the stereo stayed on #-o

Few headaches, multimeter and yeah, about 20 fuses it works as it should.

I feel your pain.

Re: upping boost slightly

I had an old Rover 620 turbo which had a similar thing to the TVIS. If I remember, it limits the boost in the lower gears (1st-2nd) to preserve the gearbox and other components, clutch etc.

I imagine its a similar thing for the mr2.

Mines disabled anyway :D

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] relocating aerial

I used something similar and stuck in inside the boot close(ish) to the old aerial.

I used a grommet and removed the old aerial completely.

Thumbs up from me! :thumleft:

Leave the turbo timer on for 30 secs or a min. Trust me, waiting in the car for a minute or so g...

Re: Just sold my rev4 sonic shadow and i'm gutted

Lol no diesels for me please! Think it's because there are so few good MR2's about now that i know how hard it'll be to find one as good. Dont diss the diesel power mate, my missus 04 plate 330 beemer leaves mr2 turbo's for dust, even mildly modded ones. And my Honda civic 2.2 diesel will stay alon...

Re: Rolling Road Day Aug 21 TOTD - feel free to add your name TODAY

Another event I would like to go to but need to check work etc. Do they have good facilities for side mount intercoolers, or do they just move the fan to the side? I've not been to a rolling road day and I dont really know what the score is. Cheers
