Re: 1995 MR2 GTS 308bhp Rev 3 - price drop £3000

Price now £3000, surely it must be worth this?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Strange Det problem

New plugs and alternator belt seems to have done the trick! fixed a slight boost leak as well so less lag!

He suggested I ask here first, I'll have another chat with him tomorrow, the problem is he's not exactly local.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Strange Det problem

I wondered about warmer weather but have tried running at night in cool air. Could ghost knock come from a slipping alternator belt? How much vibration would be required? Do knock sensors get more sensitive before they fail? I'd have thought that turning the boost down would improve if it was genuin...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Strange Det problem

Yeah, it'll be the knock warning, I don't have the commander. Why would it start all of a sudden?

[Mk2] [Turbo] Strange Det problem

All of a sudden I've been getting a random det warning (CEL flashing). It doesn't do it all the time but when it does, its just above 4K rpm, doesn't seem to matter whether its set at 1bar or 1.2. Most of the time it'll pull quite happily to the redline. I wondered if it could be a bad tank of V-Pow...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Plug Confusion

Spent quite some time searching the forum and need some help!

Which plugs should I be using in my Rev 3 Tubby running 1.2bar, CC, Power FC 310BHP. Should it be grade 7 or 8? I'm going to run copper cores I think, just after a part number?

Many thanks!

Re: REV 3 turbo advice please

I really didn't want to stir this up but felt i should at least post my opinion of the car as i'd been to see it. I know its not very nice to be slagging off someone elses car and its really nothing personal against Hardeep and no i wouldn't like it if it was the other way round. I just thought i'd ...

Re: REV 3 turbo advice please

Hi Matt, i only posted that by way of helping out. The front end was a right mess, obv the bumper is being changed so that will help. The inner arch liners had been bodged on and were hanging off. Check both front wings as there's bubbling paint/laquer, the boot lid doesn't line up with the engine c...

Re: REV 3 turbo advice please

Have you picked this up yet dude? Went to look at this three weeks ago when I was looking for mine - seriously unimpressed we didn't even drive it, body needs a lot of work IMHO to sort it out. Peeling/bubbling laquer, dodgy panel gaps, overspray. We even found masking tape under the boot lid left o...
