And back to the start

Hey guys
So I bought my third mr2 today
Hahah
So I'm back in an Na and I'm back in a red rev 2
It's a 1992 model
No power steering- that's what I like :D
And it has abs yay

But in all seriousness I picked it up for 5k
It needs a little work
Engine and box are ok body is good pain is good

Just needs some tlc will post up some before and afters tomorrow

So I have a few questions
The temp gauge dosnt rise much above a quarter? Is that normal

Also, my tacho only moves up to about 1000rpm lol?

My clutch pedal is biting about .5cm from pushing it in so wil be adjusting that

My main issue is it seems to have some slight vibration in the higher rpms any one have any ideas what this may be?

Also how can I adjust the timing of the ignition
I thinks it's a bit retarded,
Finally
Plans with this is to go
Coilovers, front sway bar, ball joints, full bush kit etc

Then later along the line either turbo swap it
Or I'm leaning more towards this
Buy a second third gen Na and build it with forged internals, a much higher comp rating
Balanced crank, valve springs, valves and 272 cams
An ecu and a tune so it's an absolute weapon and still maintains great reliability

Thoughts?

That may explain why it's warming up fast..
Ill be getting work to flush and refill the system with toyota red anywho

And if your flushing the radiator replace the thermostat whilst the coolant is out.

Also where the hell are the photos?

Ah aha I know right,
I still have the tubby
And my finances are sweet ahahahahah

I know biggest regret selling that Na
I have to start all over again,

Ok guys,
My throttle dosnt open all te way when the foot is flat, the pedal has heaps of play in it also anyone
Tell me how to adjust both the cable and pedal? To save me stuffing around
It feels very slow aswell hence why I think the timing is out
My old Na felt like a Ferrari next to this,
But I've also discovered my sensor that plumbs into the air box is just hanging around in the engine bay?
Could this contribute to poor performance
And also sorry I meant it takes a while to heat up
Yeah ill have toyota replace the stat aswell

I have a tridon hi flow one around here somewhere
But I think ill just go with the standard one as we have a heap of them on the shelf
:)
Pictures will follow shortly, just need to get it in a respectable condition :)

But yeah I really am leaning to buying a second motor and working it rather then going tubby
So much cooler and funner tbh

Your loose throttle cable would definently reduce your power if its not opening up all the way. You should be able to tighten it at the end of it near the throttle body.

Is it pinging at all?

No, it sort of sounds like a rattle.

Doubt it would be the pod, shouldn't be hard to locate if its that loud though, just start it up and listen and feel around the engine.

Yeah I shall be doing that,
Ill find it :)

And yeah I'd like to go a redtop tree,
Ill see what I can do,
That would be awsome what did it cost you to get it done? All up

If I could source one maybe I could get the boys in the workshop it put her in
But I'd need an ecu and god knows what else...

Yeah link that shut to me man

Yeah I think at least redtop engine not to fussed on the gearbox mine is actually really good

LSD would be nice tho

But loom and ecu,

Then most likely alternator, and water pump
2-2.5k in parts maybe 3
And I'd say 1k in labour if I con the guys to do it
