Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 500bhp on a 3071R!
Excellent news jim. I know how painstaking a project this has been for you. One day when my one lives again I'll meet up with you and we can head out to a track.

Re: TRD Widebody - 509.6BHP!
Glad to here it's finally all coming together mate. The family are fine. The little one is nearly 3 now would you believe it! I disappeared off the forum for a while when the car gave up again. The funds for the car were being swallowed up by a new house and small child so it took a while to get in ...

Re: TRD Widebody - 509.6BHP!
Ah so you are still out there somewhere mate. Glad to here the car may be finally getting nearer completion. Mine is dragging on a bit now and James and the lads are going to try and find out what let go after the rebuild. Hopefully it'll be done later in the year once it's not so busy for them and ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Finishing the project??
Hi mate
most of the garages on here would be more than ok for getting those bits sorted. I use 3S and James and the lads there have always been very good with any work i have asked for to be done.
Hope that helps
regards
Mike

Re: [All] [NA] Child Seat !
My baby seat fits no problems and the baby really seemed to like coming for a drive to the shops. Does create some mixed reactions from other people looking for a parent and child space. Had one guy come storming over screaming at me until he realised i was getting my baby out of the car. Made me la...

[Mk2] [Turbo] help needed!!
Any of you who read my post about cracking my engine block will be aware that i am a bit stuck for what to do now. I have spent every penny i had on the car and the engine rebuild only for it to let go after 2000 miles of pretty soft driving. This means that now most of the work is going to have to ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] how easy to swap from GT3071 to GT3582?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 3S Service Centre - Shamed
I have spent well over 2 and a half grand with James and the chaps at 3s and not had any real issues. They rebuilt my entire engine for me after a big end failure. When i picked the car up there were a few bits that were still not packed up to take with me but the guys got them together for me when ...

Have a look on the HKS website. They have downloadable manuals for most common parts. Hope that helps. Enjoy the new motor!

As Jimbob said i think this is definately the way to go if we want to show what the mr2 is cappable of and if we can get the clubs to work together or even just get a few new people involved then thats a good thing surely. My car has fallen behind the pack now so i wont really be competetive unless ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] taking injector resistor packs out of circuit
not sure yet - possibly perfect touch as they seem to have done a lot of good work and they aren't too far away. Got a base map with it so hopefully it'll be just a matter of tweaking that a little [-o<
