MR2 Turbo 1991, whining on accelerating.

https://youtu.be/08ImGTR9MJo https://youtu.be/OMlcOpphmrc Anyone got a clue on what this whine could be? Tried to make it clear with videos but it's only when I apply throttle. Pitch scales depending on gear I am in. Without throttle there is no whine. Suggestions before.. Gearbox bearing. Alternato...

Re: HELP!! Boot stuck shut.

Rev1 Turbo.[Engine oil+filter change] - Tips?

Hi all, anyone recommend a good oil, not bothered on price - no sacrifice for good oil. First time doing a change on the MR2 so just looking for some heads up, also a decent oil filter to change too? It's a Rev1 and I am of the understanding the filter is just under the heat shield around the exhaus...

Re: BC Racing Coilovers. [TENGU DRIFT]

Yeah it's a massive array available - I'm talking to Supra owners too + MX5 owners as a collective purchase - but if 3 of us here get it that should do anyway. I'll double check, the MK3 might not be as expensive anyway?

Fog lights not working.

As stated.

Plugged in new bulb and the bulbs flickered once then never came on again. The switch in cockpit doesn't have the usual green light behind it either, what could it be?

BC Racing Coilovers. [TENGU DRIFT]

These coilovers are on a group buy offer from a company called Tengu Drift.

The company is in Hungary and I'm not sure how his prices compare.

But usually he sells at £609 for a set.

If he gets 3 orders he will do at £579 each.

Any interest?

Re: Whine from engine somewhere?!

Thanks for the replies everyone will take a look later. If it is something in the gearbox then I would end up with a hefty bill at a garage as I would get clutch done and the Speed sender unit at same time, but so be it. Will try removing alternator belt and driving a short distance. Sorry pbMR2 - I...

Whine from engine somewhere?!

I can be rolling down a hill in 5th - doing 2500revs and there is no noise. I push the accelerator ever so slightly still doing around the 2500revs and this horrible whine occurs from behind my head. Fades out at around 3100revs. Does it in all gears between 2000 and 3100 revs, only when I am pressi...

Anyone had this done to a car they own? My girlfriend has an 03 celica.
She wants it wrapped pink. Haha! Anyone had it done in Scotland somewhere and if so where and at what cost?

Re: Car is sitting high off floor?

I have a rev1 too and it also appears to sit high. Do all lowering springs fit all models of rev1 - rev5? ( Don't the rev1's have a different set of shocks? - New to MR2's, so sorry for thread highjacking! ) Nah nah no bother man. I bought some genuine replacements from MR2 Bitz, and he says that t...

Re: Whining noise when applying throttle.

Haha! If only it was that easy. Just whipped rear wheels off and brake assembly, I know it should be hardish to turn the hub due to driveshaft, but I can hear a slight scrape on the Off side rear. Could be bearing? Inner/outer etc? Rear off side calliper was seizing on too which I knew about, practi...
