Re: Shane's rev 5 turbo,mapped 569 BHP, For Sale

Honestly to early to decide on my plans. Again I'm back in the situation where both the supra and MR2 are still in my ownership. Supra sale fell through with the USA guy. Let see how the next few weeks play out might try and get on the Kent run this weekend. Not ideal then. I figured the supra woul...

Re: Shane's rev 5 turbo,mapped 569 BHP, For Sale

Gave the car a detail today. Came up as good as before which was a nice relief. Found a leaking hose for the coolant which would explain the original over heating issue. No oil or water or cracks around the pump areas which was good. Next to clean the engine bay, fit a new window and test the oil p...

Re: Shane's rev 5 turbo,mapped 569 BHP, For Sale

No plans, obviously the missus doesn't want me to keep. And to be honest I sold it as I just don't have time for cars.when I 1st got it I had no children and was self employed. I'm note running a business with 8/10 people working for me, have 2 kids, and double the size of house i did before and mo...

hi Shane thanks for replying. yeah doesn't sound ideal with the noise complaints etc. and again i think you did well to reduce your offer. even with a dodgy engine the cars worth a fair chunk as it is. fingers crossed on a sensor replacement then, im sure if it was low oil pressure youd have had ser...

Re: Shane's rev 5 turbo,mapped 569 BHP, For Sale

How does 5k sound? It came with new tryes, 50liters of meth, new plugs, new a Piller, stero fitted. I'm very happy that even with a potential damaged engine (need to confirm link oil pressure sensor is faulty) dash oil can light goes out when starting so fingers crossed duff sensor. With the cost i...

Re: Shane's rev 5 turbo,mapped 569 BHP, For Sale

Was having temperature issues last time we spoke and it has now a slight miss fire, Looks like it's going to be broken soon. sounds like he may have cracked the block? probably leaking coolant into cylinder 2/3? causing both temp issues and a missfire if the plugs are getting wet. was quite high HP...

Looks good, ARe you building it yourself? What OD did you go for? 86.5? Looking good and IM enjoying! I'm still not 100% I'd like to. I've done some engine work before and have all the tools/dial gauges etc. So it's very tempting. I'm sleeping on if until my pistons/rods get ordered/arrive. It's an...
