I think it's time for an oil change as it's about 8months old now just wondering if anyone knows the amount of oil il need rev1 turbo. Also what grade of oil will be best ie.10/40 5/30 ect, it's done 76k miles. Cheers in advance

Only about a year now.seen a few mr2's about but not regularly only every now and again. Thought I can't be the only one in Northampton lol.

I haven't seen many other 2's in Northampton thought I was all alone lol.perhaps we should all meet up some time.

All worked fine when compared speedo to sat nav. How do u remove speed limiter tho?

Yes, disconnected speedo = engine management light. It won't affect the car in any other way, with the exception that the built in speed limiter is now disabled. Brilliant thanks for putting my mind at rest massive relief. My next question is iv just takenmy old clocks out 110mph ones and replaced ...

Disconnected my speedo cable at work today in preparation to change clocks when I got home and on the way home in the p1$$ing rain my engine management light came on, no change in the vehicle driving wise just wondering if anyone thinks it could be rain/ speedo cable related or something worse. Chee...

Jdm club are meeting at Milton Keynes Coachway cap park this Sunday 15th September at 7pm all jap cars welcome and heading down to MK cruise after should be good evening if anyone's interested.

MK10 9RU jnc 14 just off M1.

Thanks for all the advice guys much appreciated. As far as I know the fluid has never been changed so probably a good idea to start with that first and then go from there. Anyone know what fluid I need? Is it just usual dot4 stuff or something different. Cheers again.

Hi guys my brakes have been really poor for a while now but they still worked so hadn't got round to it. Finally got the front wheels off today thinking it would be the discs and pads but they seem fine, pads are about 3/4 full and discs aren't scorn or scratched and have a minimal lip on the edge b...

If you disconnect the vacuum the BOV will stay shut so you have no air passed through to the next BOV. You would have to use an addapter or try to remove the intenals of the stock BOV. Its up to you if you want to vent to atmosphere, its not a good idea on a REV1 or 2. What if I used a t piece so t...

Basically I have the standard bov on the car at the moment but want to attach a bailey bov (to atmosphere) to the pipe that currently recircs air back to the induction pipe as it fits on there perfectly iv test fitted this already and has no clearance issues or anything the main question is if I dis...

Thanks for all of your answers. To answer Nics question in a bit more detail the colour of the smoke is defiantly not black seems to be white but again I only catch a glimpse of it in rear view mirror it's defiantly not a major cloud it leaves behind but (just) visible in the mirror. And I only not...

I'm not an expert but I had a friend with a Gt4 so the same engine and his had dodgy turbo oil seals, and it showed smoke on overrun and when at idle never when it accelerated. Yes badly worn turbo seals can cause smoke on idle and on overrun. Usually though the first signs of turbo seal wear is wh...

A puff of bluish smoke when initially accelerating will probably be the turbo oil seal. Get someone to follow you to see how bad it is, not really a major issue but it will get gradually worse. Gradually worse as in what will happen eventually??? Turbo fail or just more smoke? Just so I can gauge h...

Seems to be white but as I only notice it when I'm flooring it I only really catch a glance in rvm

Have noticed recently that when I put my foot down to accelerate away fairly quickly I leave a bit of smoke behind not so much as a cloud but defiantly a haze mainly notice it in 3rd gear may be the other gears too but haven't noticed. Any ideas as to what's causing this and a cure. Rev1 turbo btw. ...

I've done this. Just take the vac hose of a map sensor (only if you have a rev1/2!) and it's done, boost to how much you want :thumleft:[/quote] sorry to jump into someone elses post but I have a rev 1 turbo and also wish to disable fuel cut without a FCD will only be running around 1 bar or just un...

i recently had the same problem mine turned out to be a disconnected wire in the steering wheel, pop the centre cap off and have a look at yours. if all seems ok, test the horn with a fused bit of wire to the battery if it works then you know its a fault in your wiring somewer and not a faulty horn....

Hi all im after something that will enable me to lock front wheels but leave rear wheels free to roll iv been told I need a brake bias adjuster is this correct and if so has anyone fitted one before and how easy/effective was it? Thanks for any help.

[quote="gazrev1tubby"]Just refreshed mine ready for the summer, and I just use ordinary spray paint for most parts - but an etch primer must be used on aluminium bits. I used 2k paint on my cam cover, as it's easier to keep clean, and more hard wearing What did you use to paint your hot pi...
