Its up to you at the end of the day but like I said before I would just leave it and get another MR2. £700 for the welding and paint work is good BUT you also need to add on the cost of the rear quarters which in the other thread come to something like £350 each so thats like £1,400 already. You als...

Will you be using some Halfords Octane Booster???????

97fwhp after the "hundred shot of NOS blows the welds on the intake!"




Had to fit a Fast and Furious quote in there lol

Im going to go with 597fwhp

I dont know then really... I would still be tempted to just sit back and think is it worth doing / spending the money...

Theres always the chance of rust coming through where the panel has been welded to the car unless he is going to guarantee it not going to happen for a certain length of time...

think I replied to your other thread. Personally I wouldnt bother, end of the day its a Rev2 NA your going to loose money and to me its a waste of time and money.

Especially when you can pick up a Rev5 NA in the UK for like £700 - £1,500 area...

mine would go from half way then upto the red then straight down to centre again. removed thermostat tested it and it wasnt opening untill near boiling point. Drove car without thermostat to double check and all was good. New thermostat in and everything sorted. Just make sure you get all the air ou...

Im also guessing on the clutch.

Does the car go into gear fine with the engine off but with the engine running you cant select anything?

If so then clutch, I replaced everything on mine, fluid, master + slave cylinder and still nothing. in the end new clutch fitted and all working again like new.

Only £3.9k for that!!! Personally I would just buy that than go the full rebuild route...

Infact if I was still working and not at the college I would be buying that lol

wow thats cheap!!

personally I would buy a car thats already had all the work done.... Will be cheaper overall.....

Judging by quality of the welds I've been doing says there ain't much wrong with the flow rates I've got it set up at, usually at about 8 / 10 on the regulator. I'm guessing I've just not done as much welding as I thought :clown: ahhh yea thats the rate your wanting. When you think of it it depends...

If you want a smaller bottle for easier moving around and storing then this is definatly a much better option - http://www.boconline.co.uk/products/products_by_type/industrial_gases/shielding_gases/argoshield/2_litre_argoshield_light_filled_cylinder.asp With the flow rate that you must be welding at...

from the mig forum after a quick google search to check -

110L at 6L/min is 18 minutes. 10L/min is 11 minutes.

You loose more as it "bursts" at the beginning due to pressure build up.

Yes, they are very expensive to use.

10lpm is usually the recommened flow setting...

I have a little clarke 90, only paid £40 for it with 2 rolls of gas wire, new tips and 2 new shrouds so cant complain

Its only low powered but for what I use it for its fine

I would say it mainly depends on the amps your using, eg if very high amps then the metal is going to glow brighter, definatly not like staring at a welding arc!! I remember using a stick welder accidently just touched the metal and wham imense flash especailly when your eye was not expecting anythi...

i am a self taught welder-have done loads now including making 2 exhaust systems from scratch-i got no qualifications in it jus practiced....ALOT!haha Gasless welders are absolitely rubbish tbh,i have a cheap welder (cost £250) most of it is down to the wire feed, i roughened the wire feed wheel so...

what you need to do is get a slow car for the week then use the MR2 on the weekend.. Ive been using a 1.0 Micra through the week, 53bhp as standard, 0 - 60 in 16seconds and then went back to the M3 with 343bhp as standard and 0-60 in something like 5 seconds... What a difference lol, makes it feel l...

looks like you have a small army going down to help lol

You two can just sit back and watch everyone else do the work now

Were you steering at the time of putting the foot down or in a straight line??? if In a straight line maybe get all your bushes / suspension components checked. What tyres are you using as well and what sizes? My MR2 was fine in the wet I could mash my foot to the floor spinning the rears up and the...

Well there is only one thing that you can do..... Become Japanese... Those guys know how to handle the MR2 when it comes to side ways action
