Also desperately need something that my missus and kids can't fill f...

Re: MR2 Specialists in Central Scotland
I've asked this question before but never got a solid answer. I'm in Livingston too. Tuning Zone down at Houston Industrial Estate seem to be quite knowledgeable and on the few occasions I've been in for a look there has been an MR2 in there. I've never used their services myself. Theres always Kwi...

Re: price of tubbys - whats going on?
it is very fair to say the extreme increase in ebayed mr2s is certainly a factor to why the prices are dropping, and why the age of turbo owners is getting younger. but id like to think a few of us are an exception to the rule that young doesnt always mean thrashing and chaving the car up and creat...

Re: '05 wrx sti
I'm pretty sure that i read somewhere that around the 60k mark the P1's engines go kapoot. Is that right?

Re: Engine Help!
im not too bothered about upgrading to rev3 spec, i still planned on running the same turbo, ecu etc. all i was wanting to do was replace the knackered block and head with a working one, and i thought this would have worked fine as long as the manifolds matched up

Im also going to do this in the near future, if you're going to do it, you've got to do it properly though, take time prepping the car and try browsing the net for advice on spraying...
