Re: mr2 rev2 has a new owner
the dreaded gumtree.lol
Friday bought new stainless bolts washers etc for dizzy cap rotor arm tps started to take turbo and cat off, bolts are rounded, has a stainless exhaust after cat about 3 1/2 bore on down pipe but workman ship is bad, as a x mot man its bad,
totally strip throttle body, can not belive the amount of tiger seal was on faces of body.
its has c26 turbo but off what I don't no its a sh replacement its been marked, brakes are real good vented grove drill discs all round,
body work real solid never been welded which is to be seen to belived as I have failed a few for tin worm before now, one of reasons I bought it body work good,
strip charcoll canister out a few other bits still getting my head round all vacuum pipes struggling to find a good detail diagram for a 1992 m2 turbo import,
once turbo fitted proper and can been gutted, may well strip the inlet get rid of tvis thingy, then I see what can be done with cam timing, with the standard pulleys.
going to get rid of 17" wheels so exchange or anybody want them, I want 16 on it,
done nothing to day so may do a bit on sunday
