Its the cat overheating, as mentioned above. Mine does the same on journeys over 45mins on the motorway. It seems to come on when cruising ...

Re: Pop-off steering wheels

Ha***rds seel them at 99quid for the kit! :shock:

Demon Tweekes (90quid) still looks the best bet around North Wales.

The idea is defo growing on me now!!

Re: MR2 Turbo or 3000GT???

Re: Pop-off steering wheels

So it seems the general consensus is that they are worth it?

Next question... Where do I get the snap-off kit?

I've seen them on demon-tweekes.co.uk, bout 90quid for the kit.

I already have an aftermarket wheel, but its a bit ropey - need a new wheel really!

Re: [Mk1 NA] Nurspec style exhaust

The combination depends very much on the car.

However, A K&N and a Magnex always provides a sound I like. Quiet at low revs, but as soon as you're in mid-range it makes a hell of a noise...but its a roar....not a tin can boy racer grunt.

Re: How should I mount my back box?

Thanks for the info. No brackets on it. I know a few who will fit it and fabricate the brackets. No paperwork, not too bothered, got it free anyway when I bought the car. Will have a think on how I want it to exit and get back to you. I got a decat pipe made by 'xspower' off him too, with all the fi...

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I've recently bought a 1992 Turbo. Needed a new radiator and water pump - sorted now :D With the deal, I got a TRD back box (4.5inch tail) and a decat pipe. The guy wanted to put them on, but a family problem meant he had to sell asap (I know this is true!). I need some ...
