Re: Mk2 2gr supercharged

That's looking good son. Nice to see a rear view shot. The lights look better moved out and the rear wing and pods/winglets are taking shape nicely. For what it's worth I'd go with the rev 3+ lights. Just my opinion, I don't want angry villagers with pick axes and torches at my door. I thought that...

Re: Exhaust performance - Japspeed vs Mongoose

Screw the neighbours! As long as you're not sitting revving the boobs off it at 6am on a Monday morning then you're not being unreasonable. The car has passed an MOT therefore they can just deal with it :mrgreen: Another vote for the Mongoose though. I run a Phoenix Power and that's pretty quiet bu...

Re: Stuck in low boost mode rev1 turbo

Just thought I'd post a quick update guys. Ended up taking the car to luke at Pacific works. Was a huge help and ran some tests on multiple components. The blow of valve is definitely nakered. The Boost was adjusted to take it up to a healthy number so now I just need to get a replacement bof. Time...

Re: 1/4 mile Santa Pod. CT20B+Gen3 3SGTE, 12.53@114

I have to ask the question. The Blitz ECU. Does it really make much of a difference? I know it removes most of the factory limiters and raised the boost but wouldn't you achieve similar power gains just by upping the boost anyway? I'm.sure they have more aggressive ignition and fuel maps so it's no...

From underneath .. AND you need some serious kit to get that back end in the air to get under the car ... mess this up and its you life , no joke .. Kev. Got trolley jack and a strong pair of ramps.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Rays wheels on eBay

Because unless his car has undergone massive surgery on the fronts, those wheels won't fit a MK2. Plus, the 235 tyres on the rear and the 215s on the front would look mega stretched. Plus 17x10 rear ET35 would be sticking out past the wheel arch.... Front can be done ive seen it ... rear i was runn...

That is also not how those widths and those offsets would sit on an MR2. Also, I've never seen a set of those in 17x10J. Given tha...
