Re: Bloody Misfire!!!

Could it be timing related or perhaps clogged fuel filter?

Re: Toms Air Scoop

If the intake scoop was sealed airtight into your air box I could see it helping. If not, then no.

Front drivers 60.5cm. Front passenger 62cm. Rear drivers 64 rear pass 61.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] best suspension set up for the road (scottish roads, similar to albania)

Strange. i mean i am fully polybushed from steering rack to ARB to all arms and gear linkages.

PCV how much blow??!

Hi guys, can anyone who has an MR2 turbo do me a favour? Next time you have your car running pull the PCV from the cam cover on the right hand side, at idle how much gas should be flowing if any?

thanks to anyone who takes the time.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] intake hose broke in two

mine was cracked and splitting at the same place luckily my garage spotted it before it got heinous.

i bought a new part from toyota and fitted it as a straight replacement. When i get home from work i will measure the broken one as i still have it lying around the outhouse if you'd like?

Also did a quick bounce test out the back and turned the fronts upside down and pushed down on them,...
