Re: Wheel Alignment / Vibrator Issues

No not using extended studs, there seemed to be more than enough thread left for the nuts to go over nicely. I didn't know a wheel bearing issue could cause big vibrations? No whine or anything when going along. Another thought could be the tyres, apparently something can happen inside them if left ...

Re: Wheel Alignment / Vibrator Issues

Had the wheels balanced Had the alignment front and back done Tramlining is no longer that much of an issue at all and generally the car feels much more stable. However the steering wheel shakes / vibrates a ridiculous amount at 65 - 70mph, anything below is fine. Any ideas what this could be? reall...

Wheel Alignment / Vibrator Issues

As above, does anyone recommend a place to get this done in the Sussex area? Car tramlines pretty badly at the moment between 60 - 70, any grove in the road it will try and follow which can result in nearly shifting lanes on a motor way...

Temperature issues

Hi, if the car is left to idle for around 20 minutes it the temperature needle gets to about half way, but as soon as its driven it slowly goes back down to the very bottom and stays there not matter how long it's driven for. It does have a big fat aftermarket radiator and doesn't appear to be losin...

Re: Looking to be a MR2 owner - few questions

Yeah well there are enough Rev 3's around cheap. I know someone selling one for £500 with MOT and condition is pretty good. You will notice when looking that the condition of them varies so much!! Engines are strong but you will mainly have to look out for rusty sills / if they have been done! Espec...

Re: Looking to be a MR2 owner - few questions

Hi! That is interesting, did you not prefer the GT4? You can get a fairly decent Rev 3 N/A from about £1000 - £1300 but saying that I have seen a few around £600 ( you get what you pay more most of the time ) Beams are pretty rare and yeah you are right when they come up normally cost a fair bit!

Re: Ticking Noise

OK so checked the exhaust manifold, held a bit of paper by each area and didn't move / couldn't feel anything blowing out. Did the nuts up extra tight and put my ear there and it doesn't appear to be coming from there. I then took the cambelt cover off to see if the tensioner was making a noise, it ...

Re: Ticking Noise

There was no backbox attached when the Fujitsubo manifold was on, so probably would not have been able to hear it over the sound of the exhaust. But certainly did not pick up on any abnormal sounds.

Re: Ticking Noise

Tensioner also crossed my mind but its really hard to pin point because of the stupidly loud exhaust ](*,) It could well be the manifold gasket though as I recently took of a Futijsubo manifold and putting the gasket back on the OEM manifold was pretty difficult as I think the ports are slightly dif...

Ticking Noise

Concerned about the ticking noise coming from my engine.
Finally uploaded a video on youtube

Rev3 3SGE ( Sounds like it is coming from the head, hear it most from the drivers side )
