Re: GTI eater

I used to be in the VW GTI scene... Forget FWD - James Seddon - twin vr6 engine - yes one in the front powering the front wheels - one in the boot powering the rear - road legal - number plate B16 DUB and a 1/4 mile in 11.1 seconds at GTI International 2006... http://www.autometrix.co.uk/html/gti06/...

Re: My first "experience" while stopped.

Glad to hear it - cheers mate... likewise,

apparently in the heat of his rant - his wife rightly pointed out she had no bags so therefore couldnt have 'been shopping' but they drove off without even apologising for his outburst.. we were gobsmacked..

Re: run in with S2000

Isnt the S2000 engine the one that 'redlines' at 9000rpm, surely that would make a big difference in acceleration...

Re: What is better, a mark2 or a mark3?

Personally, I prefer the mark 2, However - you won't get an unbiased view here because most mark3 owners - are on www.mr2roc.co.uk - just the way it is... 8-[ p.s. there is a mk3 turbo (mr s) - which passed Euro 3 emissions - (but fails Euro 4 ) :cry: http://www.mr2roc.org/subdreamer/index.php?categ...

£150 :shock:

will reset/check tomorrow...

Are the sensors easy to remove/fit?

Then had to buy the £120?

Re: MMM Car feeling lumpy . . . is this normal?

Hi scotty,

You should try and hold off accelarating for about 10-15mins from cold...
the turbo will only work properly when the oil is nice and warm..

Re: [Mk2 Generic] Buying a MR2 Turbo, Help!

The only problem with signing it yourself, I can see - is if they cross-check the signatures when you come to sell... doubt they do that though?
