Boy was from the housing estate on the left as you enter Dundee from the aberdeen direction. Turn off left before the shell garage and then left again.

Re: Got myself a Rev 4 MR2 Turbo :) - suggestions to mods helpful

Clutch is probably your slave cylinder ECU can't be remapped Don't increase the boost until you have a better intercooler on it - improvements can also be made to the exhaust flow and the air intake which may help. With supporting modifications you could bump it up to 1.15BAR - you should currently...

I would look at that before doing anything else.

Got myself a Rev 4 MR2 Turbo :) - suggestions to mods helpful

Well, after the absolute disaster i went to view in Edinburgh, a white Rev 4 MR2 turbo came up in Dundee. Its an import, with 85k on it. Had new belt, gasket etc. Very clean car and well kept. Its running 260 bhp with a print out and 0.5 bar of boost (does this sound right?). I have a few ideas on w...

Re: blue rev 3 turbo for sale edinburgh

Yeah cheers for the advice lads. So, he is now dodging my calls. What a reputable dealer he seems. Looks like a visit at the weekend will be necessary after all and a call to trading standards. I have made them aware of the fact it has a higher mileage than stated and should they continue to sell t...

Re: blue rev 3 turbo for sale edinburgh

Maybe he thought he could convince you that they'd fix all of that. Doesn't make sense. I would have thought they'd get all those problems fixed before they start letting people test drive it. My thoughts exactly. Where would steam be coming from at the rear? Well there is plenty of places.. Coolan...

I dont think the garage know what they have got themselves to be honest. He offered me extended warranty etc with it.

Re: blue rev 3 turbo for sale edinburgh

Its me. lol. Thanks for the info guys. Much appreciated. Yeah, he gave me a test run in it. There was a crunch in 2nd gear which he said he was going to have the syncro replaced which I thought was alright. I paid 200 deposit on it. I then left the garage and noticed steam coming from the boot. He t...
