Re: Brake pad reccomendations Ebay bargain ideally!

Just to add i had pagid ones on before the ebc ultimax and i found the pagid ones pants compared to these, even though the pagid ones might be considered a premium pad over these.

Re: New to forum + advice on where to buy

Just keep looking on here, ebay, pistonheads etc. Good ones are starting to get harder to fine especially standard ones. Expect to look for a few months before you see what your after dont rush into it. If you have a 5k budget you could go for a fresh import otherwise if you keep looking id expect a...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Another decat question

One of them has a extra bolt hole on the flange, mine didn't include a turbo to decat gasket I bought genuine Toyota from tcb parts however you can get away with reusing that gasket it's pretty hefty I wouldn't have bothered with a new one if I'd,have realised. You will get a decat to exhaust gasket...

Re: Engine oil

I would be using a high quality ester synthetic of at least 10w40 ideally at that power maybe go for 10w50. You will pay at least 50 for 5 litres I'd have thought.

Re: whats the best aftermarket ecu for a highly modified MR2 turbo

You can pick up a m4 off ebay now for 500 if you wait around, the d9 cable is about 40 and the 36 pin connector about 30. It's easy enough to splice in yourself. So you can fit a old motec for a good price if your willing to shop about.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Oils

Fully synthetic is fine people tend to have a personal preference when it comes to oil, 5w30, 5w40, 10w40 all OK.

Re: Noob Queries

200 miles to a tank with some spirited driving inbetween sounds about right, who buy's these cars and worries about mpg?, they run quite rich at high revs anyway so yes will use a lot of fuel. The turbos are mapped for japanese fuel which is 100ron i think so you need to get as close to this as you ...

Re: [All] [Generic] Chinese Android Head Units - Who has tried one? Which works best?

Ive not experienced the android headunits but one thing ive noticed with chinese headunits/dvd players in general is that the inbuilt amplifier is usually rubbish nowhere near as good quality or loud as main stream headunits pioneer/ kenwood/ alpine etc.

Re: Parts compatibility between models

They will all fit, however the early rev's have a toyota suspension with drop in shocks which can be changed, so it will be worth checking to see if yours are this type if so you can just buy some new inserts, the later models have a black bilstein suspension. So they will all fit but obviously you ...

Re: MOT centres that are MR2 friendly in Kent?

Or if you have a early MR2 and you need a non-cat test doing and usually have trouble getting this across to the tester just have a word before to make sure the right test is done if they refuse try another.
