If Paul from TCB is sure about something I'd trust him personally.

Re: Black Rev2 Tintop Turbo

Been a short while, had to go to a wedding one weekend and have been planning and organising some things... But the big day has arrived, the engine is out! And there's more rust... Rust I had not seen.... oh well. All major looms out. https://i.imgur.com/LduzNYo.jpeg Just the main power front to rea...

Re: Black Rev2 Tintop Turbo

I think I'm sold... any ideas on places I could just buy a kit from to make my life easier? :lol: I'm not actually aware of anyone having fitted one to a MK2... Just plenty of other things! Easier to find someone in the UK breaking an M3 surely? Easier/cheaper yes, but less guarantees of things las...

Re: Black Rev2 Tintop Turbo

Ah they go in kit cars and stuff fairly often. It's the system from the late E46 and it's capable of working completely autonomously of the other car electrics. Gives you ABS and DSC and you can turn one or both off at the push of a button. I think I'm sold... any ideas on places I could just buy a...

Re: Black Rev2 Tintop Turbo

ABS I was debating yanking something from a MK3 MR2 as apparently they're happy to use the MK2s ABS sensors so could potentially get a better ABS system in situ. Lexus ABS sensors apparently work and fit in the MK2 so game plan was those ABS sensors and then a mk3 abs system. If not there is always...

Re: Black Rev2 Tintop Turbo

That rust looks like fun. Are you a dab hand with the welder? I'm fortunate enough to have owned my Rev 1 since 2006 ish, and the previous owner imported it from Japan. It's been garaged it's entire life, rarely driven in the wet and has zero rust. It's amazing what the British weather can to do a ...

Re: Black Rev2 Tintop Turbo

Busy weekend, pulled the abs/traction/brake master cylinder out. So much weight, not decided on whether I'll keep ABS in the car or not yet. Any suggestions? https://i.imgur.com/C7L6xuD.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/gpfUTAk.jpeg Also removed sound deadening, this is officially the bane of my existence. U...

Re: Black Rev2 Tintop Turbo

A friend of mine said something similar, told his mate to write off an mr2 when the engine mount mounting area was rusted through. He came to look at the car with me so we checked from above and below as much as we could. I expect there to be some surface rust in places but haven't been able to poke...

Re: Black Rev2 Tintop Turbo

Dashboard now out, there was a final screw hidden under the ABS/trac ecu under the dashboard. Headliner also removed! A few more rust holes here and there, put a screw driver through the inside of the rear driver's wheel well, and the seat mounting point onto the floor. Just more welding and cutting...

Nut sure what else might be preventing it coming loose. Could ju...

Re: Black Rev2 Tintop Turbo

Nothing much to report, took the weekdays off this week to chill out a bit. Today I pulled the front suspension off. Arms and struts all off now. Well, mostly. A stud decided it liked its nut too much and broke free at the wrong end, holding the anti roll bar in place still. And apparently I can't g...
