I dont know if im breaking any sort of forum rules and if i am please feel free to remove this post

Again great work, looking forward to seeing the engine fitted and i imagine that this car will fly when its fitted! Keep up the good work

And yes im in Kent too, Dartford.

Just read through this whole thread and its really impressive, great work so far and well done on doing it all yourself thats a big achievment.

Really like the Zorst it looks great on the car and doesnt look tacky or too big, very nicely done at just the right size. Look forward to the video clip of how it sounds too

Yo Jez its Liam, so you finally got shot of the Lexus! i thought you were going to get another mx5. Good to see you in an MR2 though mate and it looks nice and clean, and if there are any meets your going to let me know mate.

I just had a look at your video and to be honest my car idles at just below 2k revs when first started in the cold and it will take a fair while for the idle to drop down to the normal 850 - 900 rpm at idle if the car is just sat on tick over without driving. I personally don't think anything is wro...

Blocked fuel filter maybe? doesnt explain oil loss but its a cheap thing to try incase its fooked causing the car to cut out. Maybe a coolant temp sensor or damaged distributor?

Cool thanks for clearing that up and yes your right it makes the noise at a couple of mph. Im glad its normal and nothing to worry about so thanks for the reply. And Alex its funny you say that as for the first time last week i hit some bumps while braking for a roundabout and it made the noise then...

Just been searching around on the net and other people have said about this noise and one guy said "its the ABS Priming itself as the wheels start to move"

Hopefully this is what it is, im just suprised nobody else on here has heard this noise in there car if this is what it is.

[quote="Loque"]If it only does it once, sounds like a self test on ABS/PWS or something like that. This is what i thought it might be some sort of self test of the power steering or ABS and was hoping it was a standard thing but i guess none of you guys have this noise unless you all have ...

Yeah but if it was the clutch it would do it every time i pull away which it does not, once i have started driving the noise is then gone and will not make the noise again until the engine has been switched off and started back up again. Its only the initial pull away once the car has been started. ...

Yes my car has ABS on it and my previous Rev 2 mr2 didn't. Like i say i dont think anything serious can be wrong as the brakes work fine all be it the fronts do squeal a little but i checked the pads and there practically brand new.

No its not induction kit as im running a standard box and there are no modifications to the car at all. Its very strange as like i say it does it every time i start the car up and pull away and then it does not make the noise at all when driving but if i turn the engine off if popping out then retur...

I have to say this is probably one of my favourite MR2's around at the minute it looks absolutely awesome. Had a lot of time and effort gone into it and it certainly shows, top work mate keep up the great work

Guys Since owning my Rev 3 NA, something has always baffled me which is whenever i start the car and pull away i hear like a woosh noise which sounds a bit like a dump valve on a turbo car. It does it every time i pull away and the noise only lasts a second but it happens every time i first pull awa...

Two great looking cars

Yes the front brakes were fine Peter. I had the rear wheels off today and fitted a new set of rear pads. The drivers side was fine but then when i came to do the passenger side i could feel at the back of the disc it was pretty rusted and the inside pad was not contacting the disc properley therefor...

Well after getting the wheels off the front of the car im faced with brake pads that look virtually brand new fitted already #-o So im guessing the squeeling noise im getting is coming from the rear brakes instead so im now going to get some rear pads ordered up and then im not looking forward to fi...

To be honest the Domokun is not actually mine, its a friends who thought it would be funny to put it in the pictures
