Bosch MK60, that's a new one to me as well.

Re: Black Rev2 Tintop Turbo

That rust looks like fun. Are you a dab hand with the welder? I'm fortunate enough to have owned my Rev 1 since 2006 ish, and the previous owner imported it from Japan. It's been garaged it's entire life, rarely driven in the wet and has zero rust. It's amazing what the British weather can to do a c...

Re: New! 2021 Forum upgrade

Nice one, feels much fresher and will hopefully fix some of the old bugs now.

Re: SW20 Rev 2 Fuel Tank Stuck/Jammed

It can get jammed slightly at the front of the car. Pretty sure I had to use a jimmy bar to get mine out.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Upgraded brakes/Pads

Yeah, Rev1 are smaller, hence got the later bigger ones.

As to where from and model number, sorry, not a clue. Had them for years, my car just never gets used :lol:

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Upgraded brakes/Pads

I've got Rev5 brakes on mine with carbotechs. Stopping power is immense IMO.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] inner CV joint

You can get uprated ones from someone in the USA. ATS Racing I've got in my head for some reason. I fitted some to mine years ago.

Re: 2GR options for 400-500bhp

No idea tbh, I'm also wondering the same. I know Gouky can reflash ECU's and he's got a version of the 2-plug ecu which has a boost map on it. Apparently the ECU is very good at learning. Apart from that I'm pretty clueless about them and don't even know what aftermarket options we can use on the 2G...

Re: 2GR options for 400-500bhp

Yeah, the cost of the SC is a bit of a kicker. I ended up buying a brand new (albeit second hand, the lotus owner bought it for a project but never used it) 1320, still boxed and everything. You also need the lower inlet manifold as well which doesn't come up for sale often, the whole thing is rocki...

Re: 2GR options for 400-500bhp

I've got the tvs1320 (from a lotus) fitted to my 2grfe. Pulls like a train. If you want a turbo, follow nixspeed racing on facebook, they are currently in the process of producing a single turbo kit for the 2gr. And rat2 motorsports are making a twin turbo 2gr at the moment, again on facebook. Get a...

Re: Fully testing fuel pump before I replace - Import NA MR2

Can you hear the pump making any noise when powered up? I've just replaced mine, turns out there is a hose within the tank, part of the fuel pump system, that can split. Mine had. Thus fuel pump running, but just chucking the fuel back into the tank via the split hose and nothing coming out towards ...

Same age as my daughter. Got my fingers crossed for you. Must be mega tough, and as you say, puts, everything into perspective, massively.
