  1. Driving down the motorway from Preston, just before junction 32 heard a "pop" my traction control warning light started flashing, half my buttons (heaters, a/c etc...) lights went off. Thought I must hae blown a fuse or something so I kept going. Got off at junction 34, disin't have to stop at the lights...sailed straight through. Got to Kingsway bath's traffic lights and had to stop. My car sounded like a diesel and smoke was pouring out!!! Luckily some friends of mine were just round the corner at Halfords so I droe to there. Looked under the bonnet and the radiator pipe had popped off and the engine was very very very hot. Waited about an hour, filled the radiator up turned it on, struggled a bit at first but then settled to normal revs. But now absolutely stinks of coolant/oil. Does anyone know whats caused it, or if it'll have caused any lasting damage?
  2. My vent must add about 80 bhp then
  3. Reading WWII/ganster books is my main one
  4. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=75013 It would be ok if someone rounded it a bit.
  5. I don't know what the previous bloke was thinking when he did that, it wouldn't as bad if it was not so square.
  6. I've had mine 6 weeks and i must say it is a strange experiance. You just have to learn to ignore it (sometimes ). I always get little kids saying 'WOW' as I drive past. People stopping in the street to stare and take pics. Its very weird
  7. As above. The vent is starting to bug me
  8. Thanks for the comments Where do I start... THE VENT IS GOING (waits for the cheers) The turbos seem ok, there is a strong pull but i'm waiting on a gauge and dyno to check for sure. I could tell the other owner had not looked after the car (but it was cheap) and I fancied a challenge, but i do still have a couple of problems. . The BOV is fitted, the pics are from when i brought it. I live at westend road jonny5. I think thats it. oh btw any more info on the car would be useful
  9. comments welcome fella, but the pic doesn't do the spoiler any good.
  10. Well i'm now a member so I thourght that i'd put some up So far I have.. HKS SSQ, Greddy boost gauge. I'm open to any ideas...comments good or bad. My plans are.... Take the bonent vent off, New alloys, BPU.
  11. I had the bearings go on an mr2, i drove about 1000mile before they were fixed and the includes 600 miles of fast(ish) motorway driving and my wheel didn't fall off
  12. Sorry to be thick but... Whats the differance between 2 row and 3 row? Also what advantages can there be with a 2 row? e.g bhp? temp?etc.
  13. is this the one that I have bought? If so...will it matter that mines a j-spec?
  14. Im in desperate need of a crankshaft pulley for my 3.0l twin turbo, 1993/L reg automatic. Please let me know if you know of anywhere there is one available. Toyota have none in stock in the whole of Europe apparently!
  15. I think i will be popping down to this, had a good laugh last time
  16. Who was the one with the England top on?
  17. David Bust played for Coventry, Schmeical (spelling) ran off to be sick.
