Re: Wow what a response !
from what i remember you need the itbs and full engine wiring loom.
best bet would be to sell your mk1, get over to TB and buy BSMs mk1 with a rev 3 turbo conversion for £2000. needs finishing off but nothing too major.

If the drain holes block up the water is held in here. It may be just as easy to remove the plastic side vents and ch...

Re: Insurance trouble
you said your BMW can tow 1600kg on a braked trailer. Your sorted then. Towbar on the BM and hire a car trailer that has brakes on it.

[Mk2] [Turbo] no spark
my rev 2 turbo engined mark 1 has had a new engine loom put in it but there is no spark. how reliable are the coil packs and/or the amplifier units.
Anyone in the bedfordshire area with a rev 2 willing to let me try my coil pack on their car.

Re: mk1a mr2 for sale
My old car. It is a totally original car as far as the bodywork goes. I was the second owner and bought the car off the original owner who lived in London and only used the car a couple of times a month. Until i owned it a couple of years ago i don't think it had ever been on a salted road. The arch...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Help with brake disc choice please!
problem i've had with grooved discs is that they can give a pulsing feel through the pedal as if they are warped. The drilled discs can crack but that is more down to poor quality discs. Enough Porsches, Mercedes, Ferrari's etc have drilled discs. On my Alfa i have OMP dimpled discs with alternate g...

Re: Shame It's So Rough

Cosmetic add on.
but if you get slightly increased downforce with the bumper/spoiler that is a perfomance gain, and one that is necessary on certain mk1's
