Remove disc .....clean the rust off with a hard bristle metal brush or sandpaper... mask off area pads touch.....then some high temp paint i suppose.

It's not my detonation signs, they were when I bought the pistons. Can you explain what is blow by? I didn't notice excesive knocking sound. blow by is combustion gases in the cylinder getting past the piston rings, and getting into the crankcase. Some amount is normal...too much can create problems.

dont knock it unless you've tried it.... like OP said, its an accumulation of changes that make the difference. Those Toyota engineers really were crap at their jobs :roll: Yes I understand your point. But we are talking Standard vs. Performance. With that thinking, nobody should modify their car a...

Does the temperature run higher when driving on the motorway/high speed vs. driving around town/low speeds? These cars use a metal radiator ( not aluminum and plastic like most new cars).....and the small channels inside are prone to clogging from deposits and need cleaning. Considering its a 22 yea...

i like the rims. whats the make and size?

On a more serious note I think that mk2's must be getting rarer given the amount that are getting broken for spares - what a shame they have a greater value as parts not as a whole car - some very tidy cars being broken up at the moment. :( This is fate that has befallen one of my favorite cars, Mi...

saw this and pulled it out to have a look...

big split down the side. Superficial or something more?

Car runs fine...

takman in your quote surely that says a trackday or test day is ok as long as you have a road legal vehicle. They don't like competition events but I have been recovered from Santa Pod drag strip with broken driveshaft before and have thought the AA would cover me for track days etc (been relying o...

i called AA and they said they will not tow it if it breaks down because of a track day... i even argued with them...citing the terms and conditions...but in the end they pointed these keywords in terms and conditions that i have bolded... n. Participation in sporting events Assistance for vehicles ...

i think castle combe is a bit far for me...

im looking at bedford.....

I was planning on towing my mr2 to a track...strongly considering bedford.. Now im thinking to just drive it there...but beford is 1.5 hrs away. What if my car breaks at the track? I was thinking about getting AA.......but under AA's terms and condition, they state the car will not be covered under ...

i just recently bought an mr2 and I would be interested.... the thing is that i bought for a track only car, so it would need to be trailered there....however i dont have a trailer, and i cant hire one because i have a non UK license ( E.U though).....however I'm in the process now of getting my uk ...

but now im wondering if i should at least do the timing belt....the thing is that if i do that, then i will want to freshen up everything else. I plan on doing a lot of work to it later.... The 3SGE is non-interference so if the timing belt did go it shouldn't be too messy. yea...i was more worried...

how did you manage to get a turbo for 200 quid?

The belt will have been done at some point its highly unlikely it would last that long as the service interval is 5 years or 50-60k i think.

this is what i want to hear.

Just bought a 1994 mr2 rev3 3S-GE N/A etc recently. It has 136k on the clock...for 400 quid. :mrgreen: ive had it on the ramp, had a look over everything, seems fine. Runs well, engine and brake oil is clear. looks like its been looked after, just the exterior is a bit beat up. guy i bought it from ...

just bought a 94 rev 3 N/A mr2 recently...would like to take it to the track sometime soon...

Im located in Harlow essex....wondering if there are any mr2 enthusiasts located near me that would be interested...if so send me a message or whatever.

cheers
