Re: Thinking of breaking my MR2... any advice please?

Yeah there's a lot of good parts there that I'd certainly be interested in. It's a shame you can't get it sorted as she'd be a sweet ride with that spec.

Re: Am I fighting a losing battle???

Oh man I'm so sorry to hear that. The one I bought had a bunch of bodged mods and I had to have the engine rebuilt and it's been pretty expensive, though I love her now she's running (well once the knackered turbo has been sorted out). Lots of cowboys selling these knowing they are getting to a stag...

Re: [FINALIZED] Toyota MR2 turbo - Rev4 Sonic Shadow

I got it resprayed because I just wasn't happy with the condition with the paintwork when I bought the car (although it was still pretty good for its age, it just wasn't perfect!). No colour change or accident damage. Rust free too! 8) Everything works perfectly. As for the twin tail lights - I hav...

Re: Learning key fobs

I'm still a bit stuck with mine. Any advice would be appreciated. Has a scorpion alarm with 4 buttons on it. Not sure if its a standard or upgrade. I follow the steps and I actually get the lock/unlock sequence fire just after the step to putkey in and close door before turning key. Tried the holdin...

Sounds interesting. Haven't been to the Ace but I should do really as I only live in Hammersmith. Put me down for now.

Re: From Riots to... Rest In Pieces...

Unfortunately the rev3 I bought also had the lexus style rear lights, though they are cracked so will look at picking up some regular replacements at some point. The spoiler is also on the larget side which puts it at exactly the wrong place in the rear view mirror so I have the worst possible visib...

Re: What do you wish your MK2 HAD...

And what would I want for my rev 3 tubby? I'd like to have it back working as it's been in the garage for a bottom end swap for over a month now.

Re: GOOD MR2? PRICE WISE

Yeah 3000-3500 should get you a well looked after example. I took a risky option and went for an unknown for £1600 and am having to get some work done on it. First a blown hose issue which is easy enough to sort so not a problem, but then alternator went, and now something has gone and there's a lou...

Oh dude really sorry to hear that. Guess we should all take it as a lesson. Hope they catch the idiots and lock them away.

Re: Coolant leak

Hey guess what. It was in fact a coolant pipe. Was from where it was pinched by the jubilee clip. Pulled it tighter and refastened it and it's all good for now until I replace the hose on the weekend. Thanks.

Coolant leak

Hi guys I need your help. Just pulled up at home after driving for about half an hour and the engine was hissing. Opened it and could see steam was spraying out of the expansion bottle hose and when that stopped I could still hear a hissing of steam coming from somewhere low down towards the centre ...
