My MR2 story…

As some of you already know I’ve decided to sell my SW20 and move on to a new project. What car exactly I don’t know yet... I’m still thinking about it

But for those who are still not sure about their SW20’s well, trust me when I say you can’t really find a car to replace it. I’ve been reading up and talking to a lot of people, but I keep hearing about ‘flaws’ in my other options for my next project car. I’m talking about cars which fall in the same category or similar price range of course.

The SW20 has the power, weight advantage, reliability, fuel efficiency, attitude (good and bad) and stunning good looks to wrap up the package. The SW20 is a great car.

All in all I had a great experience in owning an iconic mid engine sports car. So if your hesitating, don’t! Go ahead and buy one.

And even as I type this I’m planning a come back one day to the realm of the mid engine wonder :-)

I tot I’ll share.

I am rebuilding my SW20 245 engine. Since Open up the engine;

1) Thinking send for balancing. Do you know roughly how much normally charge?

2) How other things u will recommend me to do to increase the responsive of the engine? (In fairly cost or value for money job):hmmmm::hmmmm:

 

[tom's]

1) few hundred...but u need to prepare all the parts b4 u can send it to balancing

2)change forged 87mm piston.....not more than RM2300 1 set.....cheaper than most car......

1) few hundred...but u need to prepare all the parts b4 u can send it to balancing RM900 also few hundred la...

2)change forged 87mm piston.....not more than RM2300 1 set.....cheaper than most car......

RM2000...?? :help::stickyman:Can not afford that la.

Oh, am thinking to weld the oil temp sensor socket into the oil sump too. Any idea where can get the socket? Is it universal?

 

[tom's]

should be around 500-700 for balancing....i balanced my 20v few years back was 400++

 

[iexit]

Ya u can do that. If not you have to mod the bolt. I just did that not too long ago. But make sure u know yr sensor size just in case...

Guys, how to visually check if the gearbox is for Turbo model or not? How to differentiate Turbo and NA gearbox?

 

[tom's]
