I herd theres a modded MR2 down there in HBT with a huge Greedy sticker over the door, looked nice but what has it had done to it........... anyone?:D :D :)

Just thought i would answer your question on the MR2. Hes one of my mates, hes had the car for about 5 years and only had about 6 months of actual driving time. all work is done at howell, and the car has just been heaps of problems.

first they had trouble programing the computer, it had to be sent back to melb. then he got it all going and it made 220rwkw. he changed his total setup again and all of the running gear, turbo, intercooler and computer went into a red MR2 with chrome mags.

he got it all going with all of the new stuff, then it started leaking water, howell thought that it was a water pump and when the car finally went in it was a cracked head gasket and the motor was cooked. howell said that he wasnt going to cover any of the repairs but i think they have sorted it out so that hes not going to get charged labour.

when the car is running though, it flys. huge power, hardly any weight in the car!

i hope that answers your question.

Yo Roaldin,

You got that Apexi installed in your GTR yet?

Im running a GTR R33 VSpec and Griffo is just about to install it for me...any joy?

Not yet. I have had some trouble getting decent information about them. The manuals I have are for a Mazda and a Honda. I was hoping the computer would control the boost without having to use a separate boost controller but the FC won't see the map sensor. The business that sold it to me are no help at all.

Good luck with it. Let us know how things go.

Tim.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
