Cheers for fixing the link that's the first pic iv uploaded what did I do wrong?
Everyone was ok luckily, walked away with just a few bumps and bruises. Not sure how it happened will update wen I find out.

not too sure on the details yet but judging by the pics looks like its rolled a few times. bad times

Ouch. They need to get less brute force and more heat. I've NEVER snapped a turbine outlet bolt. They're not going to be easy to drill and retap. Hope they're not charging you![/quote] No they said i wouldn't be charged luckily. I'm not sure what the plan is, wouldn't it be possible/viable to just d...

Yep, exhaust manifold does not need removing, lucky they never snapped a stud in the head. Edit, re-read......3 snapped studs :( Just an update spoke to garage today and I miss heard them, they haven't removed manifold so slightly better news, the bolts that have sheared are the ones joining turbo ...

It's the labour charge that'll be the killer but hay ho needs must. One plus side is at least I no it's been done now so shouldn't need doin again touch wood.

Is it a common failure that hose from hell or is it caused by something specific? I wouldn't of thought the manifold needed to be removed but it's too late now unfortunately, that's the trouble with garages that aren't to familiar with mr2s I suppose.

So after getting my leaky t-bar fixed last week this weeks problem was rather dramatic, was driving home from work and as soon as I stopped in the car I noticed plumes of smoke pouring from the engine bay so much that I thought it was on fire, luckily it was steam, turns out a small 3inch long rubbe...

touch wood I fixed the drivers side leak using the silicon trick. I have a bead running across the tbar glass parallel to the roof seal and now it only drips slightly and only when driving in the rain, proof I suppose that tbars do indeed flex on the road. Not heard/thought of that idea before, mak...

Thanks for the advice guys. Suppose it's time to part with some more money and buy new seals. Just read a how to guide on here doesn't seem too bad of a job sure it'll try my patients a bit tho, we will see. Don't suppose ne1 knows part numbers for drivers side do they? Gonna do my side first I thin...

As you have probably gathered I'm close to breaking point now with my damn t-bar seals leaking. Didn't start off to bad when I first bought the car only let a few drips in during heavy rain now it just pours in during a light drizzle. Have tried the silicone trick with not much joy. Before u all say...

Had my boot carpet out this weekend to dry it oit and fix a leak and happened to notice my ecu had a sticker on it saying 3S-GT probably a stupid question but is this the right ecu for a rev1 n/a car that has had a rev1 turbo engine put in it? Just thought it would have said 3S-GTE to match the engi...

Hi all been a while but since having all this rain recently iv noticed my boot liner is soaked iv established the rain is getting in where the bolt holes for the spoiler go through the boot lid, is there supposed to be a sort of gasket/grommet in between the spoiler and boot to stop this? P.s it's a...

Cool il have to keep an eye out. Is anyone from Northampton going to the meet at riverside tomorrow Thursday 5th. Be good to see another mr2 there.

Ok I'm sensing a general negative vibe regarding the lazy eye kit so i think il be taking it off later. Oh we'll live and learn.

Basically I got a lazy eye kit off eBay which I installed today as per the instructions however the issue I'm having is they go up fine in stages to your preferred height BUT when I turn the lights off the headlight units themselves don't retract back down as they would normally, the bulbs go off bu...

I take it they're aligned properly? And not pointing at the floor? I've got OSRAM Night Breaker Plus which are A LOT brighter than standard. I think any thing brighter than them and you'd be looking at possibly HID's which aren't legal in standard headlights. Yes there aligned as they should be, ju...

Just wondering what's the brightest headlight bulbs I can get for my rev1. Iv already put a set from halfords in which claim to be 30% brighter than normal but in the dark the headlights are still less than useless. Cheers in advance for suggestions
