Venting into the front wheel wells? Radiator efficiency depends on airflow, which is characterised by a pressure difference. As a result, greater cooling is achieved by venting the air to a lower pressure area and taking it from a high pressure area. The bumper is a high pressure area, especially wi...

I don't see a diffuser on that Impreza, just a diff and an ARB. I suspect the rear bumper was catching air and acting like a parachute. Removing it has probably reduced drag. Fitting a diffuser would have been far more preferable as it would generate some downforce. Maybe the car wouldn't be several...

I've seen hacks for reducing the shift time. There's a throttle bypass mod, and then it's down to lightening the flywheel. I've found one nearby, so I think I'll take a test drive this weekend. Cheers, Andy The one i drove did have the shift time speeded up but it was still dog slow though. I guess...

They are okay, though the shift time is frustratingly long. They blip lovely on downchanges, but when you've got your foot down, you'll find the gearchange time to be a bit leisurely. Its not the end of the world but it certainly detracts from the drive. It isn't actually an auto btw its a servo (I...

Aside from a VAG DSG 'box, it's always the way. As I can't have a manual car, it's substantially quicker than the other option ... walking!

I need a new car, and I'm thinking about getting back into MR2s with a Mk3. Cheap, economical, great handling, and superb reliability. That's what the reviews say, anyway! The issue is that there's not many autos around, and I've not driven a Mk3 at all. Has anyone got or driven a Mk3 auto? What are...

Just wondering if there was anyone in the Bristol area ith a Rev1/2, that wouldnt mind meeting up with me so I can have a butchers at the engine bay and take some measurements for a remote oil cooler kit? It seems the Bristol lot are a shy bunch. Cheers James You're more than welcome to look at min...

Or...........a feature on tuning. Get a bog standard MR2 and the fastest one off the club and compare times. Then, the following week do the same for a skyline, then the same again a week after with an evo etc etc. That'd be great. I'm sure we'd all love it. Order not important - that Im sure would...

dout it mate, i bet every single owners club in the uk have emailed top gear and asked them to drive there car around....... unless its some crazy powered 500bhp race track prepped mr2 turbo, then i dont think itll happen................ i would personally like to know who the hell the stig is! did...

Border Kits, Bomex, Veilside/ Shogun... and more... Let this be a chance to show off your motors! Post lots of pics of front/ back/ sides, and explain what kit it is! Thanks! Mine's 100% custom. http://www.andylaurence.co.uk/mr2.jpg Allegedly, a mould was taken off an original, and the body made fr...

Hi James, yeah had a few cosmetic changes. I had 5 spoke 17's on then and it now has a bomex lip spoiler, I've customised the side vents and added a rev 5 rear wing. Yes they are top guys @ A.A.S., did they tell you what I just bought mate? If so could you keep it under your'e hat for a bit til we ...
