Re: Had my first Spin today....... Any Advice?

I don't see why anyone would be putting their foot down in an MR2 in the wet..........it's just a pointless risk. Save it for dry days :thumleft:

Re: MR2 Rev 3 Turbo GTS

Still here, i've not actively been trying to sell it for a while as I've been enjoying driving it too much, but it's still for sale for the right offer. Now has a full new greddy intercooler kit fitted too. Also have a perfect rev 3 box waiting to go on :).

Surely lateral G's have to come into it?


Agreed........however, can a mk2 really ever compare with the likes of Ferrari in the handling department? It can (relatively) easily compare power wise with a bit of wonga thrown at it....

[Mk2] [Turbo] Berk downpipe fitment

Can anyone tell me if a rev 2 berk downpipe will fit a rev 3 ok? I know I'll need to remove a stud but otherwise is it a straight fit?

Thanks

[Mk2] [Turbo] Gearbox swap

I'm going to be untertaking a gearbox swap on my rev 3 turbo shortly, was just wondering if anyone knows of any guides, had a search but couldn't find any. Also any hints and tips from people who've done it before would be nice.
Thanks!

Re: EPR Racing Carbon Fibre Boot Lid

The bootlid is pretty damn light as standard to be fair. I remember the first time I opened it (last car was an integra with glass hatch), I nearly ripped the sod off :lol:.

Thanks, I'm a little surprised I've not had too much interest yet. I am open to sensible offers, I'm sure the first to see will buy!
