I BOUGHT A BROKEN TOYOTA MR2 TURBO WITH AN INTERESTING HISTORY

[@ElliotHarris03]

Hope everyone’s ready for this build, going to be crazy🔥

[@mrbriggs1976]

Picked up a 95 tbar turbo a couple of years ago myself (my 4th!) that had been off the road for 8 years. A light restoration, got it through the MOT and driving it through the summer months. Such a fun car and this one I’m keeping for life!!

[@ElliotHarris03]

Honestly I can’t wait for the slightest bit of sun to take the top off & drive pointlessly

[@mrbriggs1976]

@ just hope the engine is all good and it doesn’t take much to get an mot! Good luck and looking forward to the videos 👍

@@mrbriggs1976 Thank you, ive recorded bits and bobs for about 4-5 different videos already. made some real progress this week with it

[@mrbriggs1976]

The poor running is probably the ECU

[@ElliotHarris03]

After market ecu, I did think that too but since it’s after market im gonna leave that one til last

[@-The-Mon]

The mines ECU are just a modified stock ECU ​@@ElliotHarris03

Who’s the MR2 specialist guy you spoke about?

[@ElliotHarris03]

There’s a guy in willenall West Midlands, mrtwo

[@Gunner_144]

Got a white T bar a year ago, having intermittent idle issues EML light flickers any ideas?

[@ElliotHarris03]

There’s a way to diagnose it. You bridge a wire in the Obd port with ignition on, engine light should flash > pause > flash again so for example. Flash 5x pause flash 2x meaning it’s code 52 then you either look through manual or google to find out code. Hope that helps

[@Gunner_144]

@ thanks for your help mate, will give that ago tomorrow. Could you tell me who the MR2 specialist is might have some work for him, cheers

[@ConnerTheDon]

dyno proof?

[@ElliotHarris03]

I’ll have too show in the next video 😊

[@karlosfandango]

You could of washed it first lol… you need a Golf R in your life lol

[@ElliotHarris03]

Planning on a good machine polish when it’s washed

[@karlosfandango]

Black looks awesome when polished / paint corrected… but will take a lot of work to get it right… and then keeping it looking awesome​ will be even harder lol… glad you sorted running issue easily@@ElliotHarris03
