Did you change the rotor arm when you put in a new distributor cap? I always found the 3SGTE especially fussy about ignition parts

Anyone save any pictures?

Harold, just a FYI- the lambda sensor in the downpipe is a wideband which this was running and feeding the standard ECU. So unless you had James replace it with a standard narrow band sensor the car will currently be running without a lambda sensor...

Hope you get as much fun from her as I did over the last 5 years, welcome to the world of MR2's and enjoy!

Well I didnt think I'd ever be selling her, but needs must as I'm moving onto another performance car. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b36/falinn/JDM%20MR2/Rev3Turbo_056.jpg 1993 (L) Toyota MR2 GT Turbo revision 3, Mica Green MOT until April 2011, Tax until November Cat 1 Alarm/Immobiliser, rare T...

Cool.. going back to standard wheels from 17s and 205s are more readily available.

Does anyone know if you can fit 205/50/15 tyres (Rather than 195/55/15) on the front rims without fouling the standard shocks or do you need a spacer to clear?

I love them on the road! They're noisy in use, and when you're using them in cold conditions you really have to work them to get any heat in so they grip- when they're cold they're rubbish! Recently i tried them in the snow and it was hopeless! I've got 255/40/17 on the back and I couldnt get out of...

I think its because the coolant finds its own level between the filler neck and the expansion bottle- so fluid that you put into the filler neck will 'level' out to the same level in the expansion bottle.

If you read the BGB it'll tell you to remove the AC compressor but this isnt necessary, removing the engine hanger hook helps and you'll need to take off the intake air pipes and unbolt the dipstick and swing it out of the way. You'll loose about 2-3 litres of coolant when you take the thermostat ou...

Not been around on here for a while so hi all! Backgound; i've got a stack system in my car which senses coolant temperature with a sensor probe tapped into the coolant neck bolted to the engine (Not the one with the thermostat in, the one on the other side of the engine where the standard coolant s...

Yes mine pops and bangs on the overrun. MR2 Turbo engines drip some unburnt fuel in to the cylinders when you shut off the gas to keep the fuelling primed to prevent lag (not turbo) when you go back on the gas. The result is that the when the turbo gets warm this unburnt fuel ignites on the turbo v...

Eye bolts into the firewall are easier than a harness bar to attach your harnesses to.
A decent bucket seat is IMO a great upgrade to any car, i have a sparco evo and i love it- best upgrade on my car i reckon.

Sticking calipers- warped discs are a common cause of steering wheel vibration.

Goodyear are discontinuing all their F1 GSD3 tyres. They are replacing them with the F1 assymetric. However i think they are cutting down on the sizes they offer, i know they dont offer 245/35/17 anymore.. as for other sizes i'm not sure.

I've got an older version of this which i built DIY- very good bit of kit, well priced and works well too. Recomended!

Hurmm got a sequential gearbox.. wonder what engine its running

woo back from the dead!

Weird reading that, was back from when i was just starting working on my car.. hadnt had it long.. am also now replacing things for the 2nd time, i think some of my wheel bearings are on the way again...


btw Ciff; na balljoints are the same as far as i know?

With regards to the Tein front drop links you can use the Toyota Avensis ones from camskill. Have bought a set for my Tein flex, yet to fit them tho. Its in the Knowledge base on this site :thumleft: Also, I'm no suspension expert but imho if you are running coilovers I think uprated arb's are over...
