Ebc yellow stuff. No pad fade and good price. Every one will disagree but have used them on track with no problems.

Thanks for all your views. One things for sure, whether you believe in breaking or not it is a very emotive topic on here. I'm still undecided what to do but I wonder if there is ever a point when a car is worth more then all it's parts being sold separately, apart from when they are new obviously a...

Another way of looking it is for every one that you break keeps some others going on the cheap. I'm still undecided what to do though.

Hi Deano, saw you at Blyton last year, me and my son each had a red MR2 do you remember? It's your worst nightmare having a crash on a track day but the main thing is you are both OK. Had your mate driven a turbo before? They can be quite a handful to the uninitiated can't they? My son drove my turb...

I think you've hit the nail on the head. It's the only car I've ever owned that I've been sentimental about. I've bought and sold cars, scrapped cars without a second thought but this one (my first one) I just keep making excuses not to get rid of it. I suppose that's why we all love MR2s!!

Sounds like breaking it is the way to go. It's a shame really because it's a good car and has been totally reliable. I've used it on track and it was great fun especially with the rev3 engine. Mechanically it's good and doesn't use any oil or water but the problem is the laquer is bubbling up all ov...

Since I bought my rev 1 turbo, my rev1 na has been sat feeling sorry for itself. I've been offered 200 pounds minus alloys and stainless decat back box for them to break. I've thought about putting it on eBay but I know this can be a lot of hassle. Does anybody have any good ideas what is the best t...

I've got 2 of them, a na and turbo and my son has a rev 2 na. I've driven all 3 of them on track and they all handle great, even in the wet, and are nothing like some of the negative reports you may have read. Having said that the brakes are better on the rev 2 onwards and the rev 2 does handle slig...

Thanks all for the info. It sounds like it will drive much them same but with more urgency with no issues. Can you suggest a reliable and good quality MBC and FCD please. Also are there any reasonably priced and accurate boost gauges you could suggest? Just one last thought, did any of you find that...

Are you saying the pedal goes solid or are you saying that you can't stop when going backwards after a spin?

Just had a thought, did your engine cut out when you spun? If it did, then the servo wouldn't be working, hence solid pedal and feels like no brakes.

I use my turbo on track so to hear about your experience is a bit worrying. I will try reversing quickly and slamming on the brakes to see what happens. Let me know what happens when you try the same.

I'm considering installing a manual boost controller and FCD to my rev1 turbo. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Would there be appreciable gains on the road? I know Peter would like to discuss it at his workshops but I would like a discussion on the forum to benefit from other peoples experi...

Has it shorted out where you have tie wrapped it to the fuel pipe? It's burnt out at one side of the wire but not at the other.

Thanks, would prefer mr2mk2.com as I use this domain name.

Looking good and hope you enjoy driving her again. How does she compare to the Merc?

What realistic gains are to be had and how does it feel on the road?

Cheers mate.
I thought I would see how it went first before I paid my money.

Thanks for the info.
Decided to try swapping the brushes with the ones off my old car. These were twice as long and took 10 mins to swap. Now no PS light and all is well.
Noticed the copper wiring on the shorter brushes was a reddish colour, maybe due to them arcing and getting hot?

I hope not :( The only thing I can think is when I first posted as a new member, I mentioned I was on my second mr2 and the first one was looking for a good home? I wasn't trying to sell it on here though as I may have a buyer or will put it on eBay. I am not trying to sell my car on here and will n...
