Hi Guys, Friend of mine owns a 2nd gen MR2 W20, it's the model with the 3S-GTE. (I think it's a 3S-GTE, either that or a 3S-GE) The engine seems to be cranking but it won't seem to crack over till it starts? I'm going to head down and have a look tonight, but I've kind of ruled it out to these things: Battery, not enough voltage which can all probably sorted out by a VAT machine Fuel System, the fuel might not be reaching the cylinders possibly because of lack of pressure Timing, Could be the reason why the engine isn't rolling over Ignition/Spark, possibility of one of the spark plugs not firing properly And/or Compression. I don't really know whether I'm missing anything here. He recently installed a head unit as well, and the problem to me sounds electrical because the engine is cranking so I don't think it could possibly be mechanical. Any help provided is as always much appreciated guys. Thanks

Thanks man, I'll hit him up this weekend or next, depending on how busy I am. Thanks

Re-visiting this thread guys, I got quoted by a place in Footscray 3k to fit a rear lip, wing tips, side skirts and grill to my ZZE, which I think is way too much. Would anyone know anything that's close by, around Western Suburbs preferably. I know, Kenshin X will probably use this to abuse the panel beater that did his rear lip lol

Here we go again! Why do people post stuff on ebay asking "Is this a good price" or "am I being ripped off"? Firstly, its a bidding item that's still being bided on, so who knows how much it'd go for? and Secondly, I think (judging from the amount of total posts you have) your probably the seller of the item just advertising it on here, so you've found a loop hole in the buy/sell rules. NICE ONE, BUD!! and, I know people that have had heaps of bad experiences with D2 Coilovers, they're pretty shotty

You said it haha! Btw some of the cars there is a style of modding in Japan, it's actually somewhat popular, its called Bōsōzoku, google it

where's the build threat to my car? I think that should be linked here too

Hey, Congrats on your car, looking very nice. Have you tried this thread, you can get parts usually online from many places as well. Anyways check this thread out, might help:

derp

Right here :) Postage is also free anywhere in Australia, I believe

I would love to turn that sh#t off as well.. last thing I want to hear at 6am in the morning after i've just woken up and on my way to work is that freaking reverse beeper as I'm backing out of my drive way

body kits.............. why?

good point ! that 2 grand does include the labour required which is most of the cost so if you can do it your self i think it only costs about 1 grand for the bearings , seals and all the syncros. Just remember to include freight.. and just be thankful your not driving a four wheel drive hatch, my brother recently broke the selector fork on his GTi-R and for the record, you basically have to pull out the engine for just about everything on that POS. he's looking at a little over 900 dollars just in labour, this is excluding parts. I don't think work on a Stivo gearbox would cost you over 2k, that just sounds silly.. but yes, change your gearbox oil coz that just might resolve the problem temporarily. Just think about the difference you'd be paying in terms of simply changing the oil, compared to something breaking in there, true?

Fire + Anything else == AWESOMENESS!!

Actually I do know one for speeding. "I had just came back from Europe (Germany) and I was pretty used to speeds there of about 140km/s etc Sorry I forgot I was back in Australia" Or you can just get your mate in the back to act like a pregnant women giving birth and say your in a hurry to get the the hospital :lol: :lol: OR! Officer: "I was doing about 140~150ks just to catch up to you" You: "U jelly?" :D

dont know any excuses for speeding, but if its a burnout you can always blame the clutch "errrr it was get clutch officer" :lol:

I like the sweet sound of my engine note

Good point, thanks for pointing that out too.. I was looking at Xoom's thread, 11k is heaps but it sounds right too

I think this is more like it: http://www.turbo-kits.com/corolla_turbo_kits.html Your probably looking at around 3 to 4 grand for the kit. But yeah, there's a lot of extras if you want to work the internals, I don't know how much boost the engine can hack with out causing too much wear.. I'm quite noob when it comes to forced induction tho, but I been reading up hear and there. I heard anywhere from around 6-8 psi should be fine without working the internals, but I'd never risk it. Can someone elaborate on this?

Hey guys, I don't know whether anyone here has seen or read all of this, but there is a "tuner" somewhere in spain that has made an absolute mess of their mitsubishi eclipse. He basically paints over every part and fails at welding, not only that he does stupid idiotic stuff like taking apart a brand new clutch by putting a grinder to it, to fix his old one LOL! He's favourite paints are red and blue, so the thing basically comes out looking like Optimus Prime, and surprisingly.. the car still works.. this is probably for the more car savy people, but have a read anyways, it gets better around the 8th or 9th page haha!
