I've found two: 40 quid: http://www.lambdasensor.com/main/mr2.htm 100 quid: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? Hi buddy, I remember these problems only ...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] DE-Cat section for Mk2 GT T-Bar

The rear lights is one way to tell them apart... square rev 2 and rounded rev3! Theres probably a better way but I'm not too technical ... yet!

Rev 2 was about 158 bhp and rev 3 approc 172 bhp! :-k

I'm sure someone will correct me if im wrong though :thumleft: :lol:
