Re: Unlucky Thirteen ? ?

I so very nearly Bought a mk1 25 years ago, turned out to be a bit rusty and the one i found to be a great example was being sold by a garage who had issues with putting a years mot on the car.. I'd imagine they are worth decent money nowadays. Nothing like the evo, mk1 escort or cosworth era but gi...

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

You might not be aware of this but 'mule 2' still lives, just in a different body.... I sold everything from that build to the same enthusiast. I would go as far as saying she isn't just in a more modified mr2 but one in much, much better condition.... If you still have the fuse covers then sell the...

Re: Why are MR2 Turbos still undervalued?

I think this is the problem, whenever people talk about cheap MR2 Turbos, it always turns out the examples are an absolute bag of nails. If they got the car for only £500 I can only imagine what kind of state it was in! As another said, half decent Rev 2's are £5/6k now, so a decent Rev 3 should in...

Re: Why are MR2 Turbos still undervalued?

They have done the full circle. You could get a decent rev 3 turbo for around 3k 7-8 years ago if you shopped around. They're getting old now and imports are drying up as they aren't as viable anymore. The lack of supply is driving prices up but in a few more years there won't be many at all most o...

Re: Storm single wiper

How easy is this to fit? Does it sit in the middle or down at the aide like a standard wiper? Pretty much the middle as far as I can remember, have a look at this page. Scroll down to the last post, it's in the 4th picture from the bottom. It is very easy to fit but if I remember correctly one of t...

Tiny update/bump just to say that the Mk1.5 has just been rolling roaded at 401BHP :D Great to get any car into the 400+bhp category, must be a blast. What mods does the car have ? Any up to date pictures ? Do You have any plans of going down the quarter mile in it ? Obviously been a life long pass...

Unfortunately it has been sidelined as we are so busy that 100% of the focus is on the race team right now.

When things ease off I'll get it finished off and to a strip!

Looks good, Remember to keep away from speed bumps and always reverse if parking towards a kerb, these border bumpers are low.
