Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Is this the pipes from hell that have burst? (VIDEO)

Thanks for the reply
Yeah I knew about the hose from hell but I am also aware there are pipes from hell and after some investigation today and removal of the heat shields on the bulkhead I believe it those that need replaced :cry:

[Mk2] [Generic] Front indicator separating - Part No. of grommet & screw inside

If anyone is having trouble with their front indicators and reflectors not staying in very well, then you are probably missing the grommet and screw that hold them in. I had the same problem and just thought I would post up the part numbers of the parts to order from Toyota. Grommet - T90189-05050 S...

Re: Blue Rev3 M reg Dumbarton 10/4/2015

Re: Blue Rev3 M reg Dumbarton 10/4/2015

I was just leaving work just outside dumbarton going towards glasgow (not in my MR2, a bit expensive as a commuter everyday for me.)

Long term storage >1 year

Hi I am looking for some advice on things to do to get the mr2 ready for over a year in the garage.

I was thinking handbrake off, axle stands, battery out.

I won't be able to start the car for over a year as I will be going abroad.

Any help much appreciated.

Re: Mr2 turbo V E90 M3 @ Crail 1/4 mile

It's a manual he's got.
I think m3 is about 1700kg, Mr2 is about 1300kg.
They are amazing cars, I was a passenger in it for a couple of runs and it was a beast, a v8 that revs to 8500rpm!!!

If any of you guys are getting rid of your air con pipes, then I may be looking for a set, as long as the are useable and from a rev3 onwards?
