Re: Intermittent Water leak (plastic undertrays)

I know this is an old thread but I'm currently experiencing the same symptoms you described and was wondering if you ever tracked down the problem. Like you my leak is intermittent. It doesn't leak when running only after the car has cooled down and not all the time either. Any help would be appreci...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Front exhaust section fitment question

Gotcha will do some research. In the meantime I managed to find the cross reference page for denso O2 sensors in case anyone needs it in the future. My Toyota part number is 89465-19415 which is DOX-0208 and works a treat see below for the list of toyota part numbers against Denso part numbers full ...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Front exhaust section fitment question

Ok well I'm glad to report the front section I got fits nicely so for anyone with a rev 1 built in 1990 the front exhaust section listed 91-94 does fit. As for the O2 sensor it has completely transformed my car. I have my MR2 6 years now and since I got it, it has always hesitated on small throttle ...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Front exhaust section fitment question

So i removed the thermostat filled it with water ran it round the block a few times and drained it again. It ran rusty again so i kept this up all day. Finally got...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Front exhaust section fitment question

I ended up risking the flexi section i listed in the OP I have removed the old one and they match so thats one small victory. I also found my OEM O2 sensor part number on www.toyodiy.com (very handy site found the link on here :thumleft: ) I then cross referenced that part number on a page i cannot ...

[Mk2] [NA] Front exhaust section fitment question

I have a Rev 1 1990 N/A which is in dire need of a new o2 sensor, however the previous owner welded the o2 sensor in place and cut the bolts out so I also need a new front section of the exhaust. The earliest parts i can find are for cars built dec 91 onwards http://cgi.ebay.ie/LAMBDA-SENSOR-TOYOTA-...

[Mk2] [NA] Coolant Temp Sensor (ECU)

Can anyone tell me if the Turbo and N/A sensors are the same unit. Camskill only list one for the turbo

http://camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m5b0s605p4331

Can this be used on the N/A? If not where would I get one online?

Cheers

[Mk2] [NA] Rev 3 calipers on Rev 1 now binding

I got a set of rev 3 calipers from a fellow board member just this week. I have fitted them but now the brakes are binding. When I was fitting them I pushed the pistons back, they were stiff but moved all the way back in. I noticed today when I went to push both pistons back in together they wouldnt...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev3 Turbo Thermostat housing - how many bolts holding it on?

Cheers will give both a go. Is there a second sensor somewhere that sends information to the ecu. Might be worth going the whole hog while I'm in there cos it runs xxxx during its loooooong warm up cycle.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev3 Turbo Thermostat housing - how many bolts holding it on?

I don't know about the na, but I can tell you the lower bolt on my old rev2 turbo was a hell of alot more tricky and almost impossible to get to and undo compared to the extreme ease there is getting to a rev3-5 lower bolt. My rev5 was easy. I was afraid someone was gonna say that. I've been puttin...

Re: N/A decatting - yay or nay?

Cant give the definitive answer but I done mine a few years back and apart from a slight change in engine noise it made feck all difference, certainly not worth the price of the decat and time it took to fit. IMO and speaking from experience dont bother with it unless its part of a full system. Even...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Poly Bush Fitment

Glad you got there in the end, I just did the rear of my car too- really wasn't as big a job as I thought. I used a heat gun to get the old bushes out- which was smokey, but worked well. Did you work out what the washers were for in the end? I assume they were for the Rear strut bar to control arm ...
