Re: Yellow Light of Death (PS3)

Most independent console shops will repair it for £30-£40, usually within an hour or two.

Thats what my best mate did, fortunately mine still seems fine.

Speak to my old uni buddy matt at Mtech Automotive.
He does MS from build it yourself, to full install and rolling road tune.

Re: Starter mounting '88 Mk1b

Hmm, it may be a supercharger AE92 starter motor that you need then. That is what my 4agte conversion uses, and this mounts on the other side as i needed the extra space on the exhaust side to mount the turbo.

I had always assumed that the NA AE92 was the same.

Re: KYBs for MOT but what springs?

If you want a comfy ride, try to replace everything with standard parts or just bogo standard replcements from a parts shop. As soon as you lower or try to uprate anything, it gets stiffer. My track car has kyb shocks, apex springs and poly bushes. I won't lie to you, it actually makes my kidneys hu...

Re: OMP steering wheel and best size

Depends upon how much you drive the car. If it's a daily, i'd go for as big as you can 'til you think it looks rubbish. For the track however, i prefer my tiny little moutney wheel, i think it's about 320mm ish too. It is a tad heavy to manouvre, but since it spends most of its life on the front dri...

AFAIK its only a mod for the mk2, but who knows what crazy other toyota parts swaps might be available if you look hard enough.

Re: cable identification 4age..

There is a blade type connector that joins the loom via another connector on that side of the engine.

It is a ground that bolts directly to the bolt at the bottom of the coil pack/ignitor. Maybe thats it.

Blocked injectors? I had this. Does the car even attempt to start, or does it just keep turning over?

Re: ae101 engine into an mr2

If you are worried about the throttle body you can just do as I have done for the moment, and use a mk1 NA throttle body with the idle control disconnected. It works fine.

Toni i just wonder why it has never taken off in the UK mk1 mr2 world though? Because it's a $%^&(BEEP), &*^%(BEEP) and :>?$£$(BEEP) pain to do as the parts just aren't there. Supercharger bits are hard enough to get, let alone pulling them apart to bolt on a turbo - and then there's the ma...
