My old SC ...the white tin top E344CVR. Went home from Bromley and quite missed it that evening. Think it's because I restored it from a wreck. Weird how a car can have that effect.

Very nice. See you Sunday Rob...

Yes, you really need to get a Mark 1

Again...!

Have you perhaps an LSD without an LSD compatible oil in there?

I've also got a set from Peter and they are very good. They look really nice on the car. Peter tries to give good value. Early in 2012 he got twenty people together to do a group buy on these, shipping them in bulk and sending out individually. Think it might have been Mark 1 Club thing - can't reme...

Must see your car sometime. Yes, white tin tops are very rare . You might see it again next week as it's going back for another little fix .

Yes that was me :). So was that you walking by it when it was parked in the Jap Sports car place around 10.30am? I was just talking to garage guy and he was watching someone looking at my car ...and came out to speak to you? Turns out they do a couple of SC's so know the cars. Anyway, then got on tr...

Replaced the thermostat with a genuine toyota one and this solved the problem. Fuel mileage increased to 9l/100km (31 UK mpg) while driving it normally and I'm sure I can get even more when driving economically. Sounds good. That 31 mpg is almost exactly what I get in general mixed motoring in the ...

Anyone else in the South East going to this event?? :D Well since you and Rob are going ...I hope to be there at both events. My SC has been playing up lately so these could be first events of the season for me. Can't wait to see the new Turbo Pete - so glad you've come back. Will be good to see Ro...

Well I find my SC (standard pulley) gives 32 mpg town/bit of dual carriageway compared to 34 mpg I was getting on same roads with two previous NA's. I'll probably activate the Supercharger a few times a day, overtaking and uphill. For those not familiar the supercharger engages when you put your foo...

I need to fill/bleed my coolant and know my car is missing the bleed service kit. Don't have access to car right now to check. Can anyone confirm the internal diameter of the tube. I think from past experience with other mk1's I've had, it's standard 5mm that you use for brake bleeding. Know can use...

Well I bought both of these 3 years ago from Toyota but not sure if still available now. Details then were... T52506-17020 Front bumper retainer £41.47 plus VAT T52565-17010 Rear bumper retainer £34.63 plus VAT Not cheap! Double check I have that the right way round as invoices don't say front or re...

Good work . Well today I found slave described to me as Supercharger one was in fact an NA one . I'll probably use local company that can make a pipes while I wait with right connectors at each end. Hoping it will allow an NA slave to be fitted to the SC.

Think today I have located an SC slave cylinder which should simplify my life quite a lot .

I've just returned from Toyota dealer having spent long time with parts man on what is and what is not still available. I believe he said all clutch hydraulic pipes are no longer available from Toyota. I'm actually looking for a slave cylinder for an SC - my bores had it. This is no longer available...

Not wishing to split hairs but the Brian Long MR2 Coupes and Spyders book says the T bar actually added 30kg (66lbs). Interestingly compares with 50kg (110lbs) added by the supercharger installation, he says. Got me thinking with a tin top SC I'm only 20kg above NA T bar weight perhaps. If I gave up...

Welcome back. Though have seen you and we've kept in touch isn't it about 6 years since you were active on here :D ? Shocked to hear you're existing car has had it but gives you chance to make another one! Keep us all posted with parts you didn't need when moving things over :lol: Looking forward to...

Hope that works out - sorry no word from Ruby Red. If you do hear from him eventually be great if you could post that info.

I haven't bought any parts from Ruby Red for couple of years but he was very good news. He previously traded under name of Jonniesbits. His real name is Paul Cooper and he is located in Warlingham postcode CR6 9DL. His telephone numbers were landline 01883 626039 or mobile 0790 5661388. I have an e...
