Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
Thought a bit of fun, and as I just got my MR2 MK2 Rev3 tubby!
If people list their top 3 tips for owning these cars? Could be driving style related, mechanical notes or any "must know" type infos really
Misfires! Check all the ignition components. Magnacore leads are crap. check plug gaps. Dont forget the coils and ignitors are quite old now if they are the ones from when the car was new.
Also, water drips on the dizzy cap.
Cheers,
its had a new dizzy cap/rota arms and new plugs - should be good on that front
Might look into polybushing as I guess 15 year old bushes have seen better days
my best tip is live near a petrol station as you pretty much always have fill them up twice a week
since owning my tubby i use 60 quid a week going work and back
but i get there faster
