Re: [FINALIZED] 1989 TOYOTA MR2 WHITE MK1 AW11 with V6 Camry 3.0L installed
It appears I have rustled somebodies feathers by claiming it was the first V6 road legal, let me clarify this is the first road legal MK1 although as I'm selling a MK1 I expected that was a given, clearly not!

1989 TOYOTA MR2 WHITE MK1 AW11 with V6 Camry 3.0L installed
This is a very special car, it was the 2nd V6 conversion ever started, but more importantly it was the 1st that was actually legally driven & registered on the road in the UK. I take no glory in the building as it t was built by a qualified Aeronautical Engineer to a very high standard there is ...

Re: Have I bought an NA with an engine on the way out?
To find it it's oil fnd a long downhill stretch of road, get up to about 50 then come off the throttle, coast in gear for about 100 years then stamp hard on the throttle, helps if you have somebody looking out the back window, in a car behind you or fix a camera to your boot. If it's using oil on th...

Re: Alternator belt for a mk1 SC
The old belt was damaged, so was unreadable and I was unable to take a measurement for the same reasons. I do have a modicum of intelligence. For thanks for your 'input' Take it as sarcasm if you wish it wasn't intended so, but if it's still in one piece than all you had to do was fold it in half, ...

Re: Downshift into 3rd grinding - just had recent oil change and worse than before
Actual amount it 3.8L I believe, so assuming you can't get all the oil out via the drain, 3.2 isn't bad, did you do it on a flat surface or car ramps as that would change the angle as well & therefore the filling level

Re: Should odd MOT mileage history ring alarm bells?
My other questions would be where was it from 2006 until 2008, online MOT started 2006 so it's also got 2 years missing, the speedo you can see it has 3807 displayed, but the MOT mileage is 134,427 so how does that figure unless it's now done 138,7xx which although not low mileage isn't that bad for...

Re: Best place to sell?
Although I wouldn't of put it in quite the same words he does have a point, to list a car on Fleecebay it's £10 plus then there's a 1% final fee on an auction, or it's £14.50 fpr a classified plus 1% on the final fee. So £2K car is going to cost you over £30 either way. Autotrader is minimum £36.95,...

Re: Strut Tops Front & Rear
I can get new fronts, apparently they are the same as MK2's but it's the rears that are causing the issue.
