SW20 Spider / Spyder ? (silver & blue) Salisbury A345

Spotted ! silver and blue SW20 Spider heading north out of Salisbury on the A345.

Rare car > never seen one of these in the flesh before. Unfortunately it was raining so the roof was up :lol:

Please forgive my ignorance, is it Spider or Spyder?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Which apexi PFC I got?

i'm no expert on MR2 (wrong forum for me :oops: ) but from what i've read :confused: the SW21 9807-0003. My Toyota EPC does not have this listing... Is that a USDM vehicle and uses the normally aspirated 2.2l 5S-FE engine? > > was there ever a 3sgte built July 1998 > March 2000 on a SW2# chassis?

Stock Toyota rev3 /ST205 = AISIN brand clutch. It is good for 300+ ft lb if you don't try and dump the xxxx out of it >> drag style. Any clutch will wear quick if you subject it to abuse ;) As a daily drive the stock unit is hard to beat. 300 /320 torque won't cause the clutch to slip on the move un...
