Not sure what to do with my MR2 rev3

Post by timmy2take »

Bought a 95 Rev 3 turbo in Black the other day, the lad said the cambelt had gone on it, but it turns out I think he was running too much boost and theres no compression.

What would it be worth to someone? Has 11months MOT and 3 months Tax, 70k-ish km/miles displayed. HKS boost controller, Green cotton air filter, HKS Dumpvalve, Greddy Boost Gauge, Half Leather, Roof Scoop.

The tyres are quite good condition, but one of the rims could do with a refurb. Underneath the car, one of the sills is bent a bit, from the back wheel and the sill it looks as though its been over a kerb.


Its either that, or someone with a good Rev 3 turbo engine, and possibly a turbo needed. I've been told GTS CHRIS is the man to get hold of, I've left a message on his phone so just waiting for a reply. Anyone recommend anywhere else for an engine?

Timmy!

I've got a lot of the parts you need to build a forged engine down at Hiroshima power.
Speak to alex about cost?

This would be a very cheap and easy fix:
