Re: Boost TVSV

Knock Knock.... The Rev3 stock boost control is clever... It will hold off extra boost if it has experienced knock. The biggest difference I found between 95 RON and 98 RON on my at the time Stock Rev3 (we are talking 12 years ago now) was the boost response pulling up the motorway slip from Windsor...

Re: Damp patch! ARGH!

Also suspect any bonded window that may have been removed at a bodyshop - EG rear quarters.

If they don't clean the body & glass properly - or don't even bother to remove the old sticky stuff... then it can develop a drip.

Re: Duderstadt 2011!!! **Dates confirmed 29th July - 31st July**

My plan is to leave on Thursday 28/07/2011, and spend the night at the Nurburgring. Return on Monday as before. There is an evening opening at the 'Ring 28.07.2011 - 17:15 >> 19:30 And it happens to be about half way from Dover. Overall this diversion adds only 141Km (88 Miles) to the 872Km journey!...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Which discs do you recommend?

Interestingly.... the first non-OEM disks I bought were 'EBC' and one set of disks came with the Toyota part number stamped into them. I think there are plenty of no-name manufacturers now just turning down disks from generic blanks. But considering the price difference, you could replace the disks ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Better Battery!! ? ? ?

The stock Toyota supplied batteries are very very good, have correct sized terminals, goo warranty and in my experience are cheaper than Halfords.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Which discs do you recommend?

Unless you just want the look and noise,
Stick with plain disks (Very cheap through Ebay these days)
and a good brand of pad.

Avoid the no-name pads as they will be of poor performance and longevity

Re: Rev 3 Turbo Tyres

Continental sport contact 2s are available in both front and rear sizes and look fairly decent. Anyone got experience of these? NOOOOOOO!! I have used these on the MR2, and they are Useless... Practically no launch grip from the back and under-steery on the front when damp. Not at all what I expect...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Clifford concept 650 alarm..part of?

The right hand thing is a Clifford Valet Switch,
You 'type in' your pin code to change alarm settings or disable the alarm without the transmitter

It's also used for the 'BlackJack' function if enabled

do you not have the manual?

Get the car battery from a Toyota Dealer.
Better price and Warranty than Halfords etc, and you know it will fit!
