Re: MR2 and wind.

Still surprising however that the car isn't great at seen, given its low stance and stuff you would have thought it to be going good ton up?

[Mk2] [Turbo] apex intake heatshield clearance issue

Hi there seems to be a tight ailment issue for the apexi intake with heat shield in my engine bay. I thoughtl there was an odd sound behind the pAssenger side when i booted it and let.off. i believe it could be this vibrating. my mechanic mentioned it instantly when he saw inside the engine bay aski...

I have these all round on my Corolla T sport, they are especially ungrippy in the damp!

Re: New MR2 Turbo Rev 3! pic added in last post

The part number: 90919-21577

keeps cropping up in terms of HT leads for about £60 or so? Will these fit, or the ones from GTSchris's website. I dont know what this tidy plastic thing is but as long asd the leads fit properly and arent exposed im happy to be honest.

Re: New MR2 Turbo Rev 3! pic added in last post

Hi thanks guys, wow £100+ is pretty steep for the leads but its a once only item i guess.. It does make the £50 NGKs seem more reasonable but then if i have to change them again the cost difference would be negated! Yep and sorry i did mean the part code for the plug leads as yea ive decided to go f...

Re: New MR2 Turbo Rev 3! pic added in last post

Apparently this one definitely doesnt seem to be, i looked under the car and saw the rust for myself.

Does anyone know the part number for the OE plugs? Its always a hassle calling toyota with a reg plate that doesnt make sense to them on the system.

Re: Less equipment std on the later revs?

Is there a quick way to test if you have the 7 or 8 speaker set up on an import GT? A very quick way, just tilt your seat back and look down behind the seat on both driver and passenger side. It you have a speaker grill on either or both then you have the 'premium sound system' (also known as activ...

Very insightful as its a complex Car with potentially many pitfalls. And imo definitely not looking for over 300 bhp at this moment. the car scares me...

Tell me about if. If you want a fun modern turbo RWD car, you will have to look pretty hard past the year 2000 to find compelling ones. Even my dad was surprised at how muhc car and technology you get for the money with these things. So ive lined up: Denso PK20R8 spark plugs for £31 Exedy OE TKY2124...

Re: New MR2 Turbo Rev 3! pic added in last post

Hi yes, this is my first MR2! Previously i have owned a Primera GT, then a Corolla T Sport and now an MR2. I always promised myself a turbo 'Gran Turismo' car at some point in my life and the skyline insurance at £4000 a year wasnt feasible - and i have always had a soft spot for the MR2 so i though...

Re: Viewing MR2 T - how should the underside look condition wise?

No the bonnest might need a touch up. that is stone chipped.

The paint and the sills and the plate stamps in the front does look very new indeed, not a touch of dust or anything...

thanks.

Obviously it...
