Oh i thought you meant a rev3 rear louvre. Maybe they didnt exist. My mistake.

I thought I had seen a rev3 with the mesh inner and a louvre over the top. From memory it looked a bit 'over the top'. May have just been a custom one off that someone made up. It's not really something you see often that's for sure.

no thats right. they are just a piece that sits over the top of the orignal centre panel. again this is why i don't really like the rev 3 version because like you say it looks just stuck on.

original ones also sit proud of the surface to make it look even more additional.

I'm not sure if it's my pc but some of your photos aren't loading up. So I will post these Tom's carbon air intakes here. I found the photos on an Australian MR2 site.

my friend rich used to have one of those for his n/a there n/a fitment only.

that one is missing the tom's outter foam covering on the filter so its just got the metal support mesh you can see there

This is the item description:


Product: TOMS Racing Carbon Fibre intake system

Details: Works ONLY on Gen3 3SGE motor (late model N/A without the VVT-i). Truly a work of art, the built and quality is unbeatable on this one. You will need to purchase a new filter as the original TOMS sponge filter is destroyed

Price: $550 AUS

Nice find. Pretty sure that DB8 is selling one of these at the moment..

Yes it's the same guy. mrtwo.mine.nu/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20367

Take some photos of your engine bay, it could probably be adapted

I think it's fair to say that it is one of the nicest mr2s i have ever seen.. really is a work of art. Curious about the colour too?
You need to do a vid like that black one on youtube!

I thought i chucked a reply in there last night but didnt go through it seems.

It would have been completely rude not to go for a Toyota colour so i chose off the chart an '04 grey which im told by an IMOCer looks like a colour used on the MR2 MK3.
Its an awesome colour, when the sun is back and i got this baby back on the road ill take some photos of it then at the angles where it shimmers a light bronze.

As for the video, i keep thinking that, but i dont have any friends that would really wanna make that kind of effort to do film for me. ill have to teach the misses. any decent free video editing software i can use thats out there?

cheers

Colour looks great.

A few more reference links posted by cardhore on imoc.
I think all of the parts may be mentioned here already but still good to have them here as well...

235ps and 255 n/m of torque would of love to of seen that in a road going mr2, my question is how did they manage to get 300bhp out of the 3sge in 1992 for the carina in the btcc?

Loads of money!!

There is a interesting PDF article on that in one of the threads here...I'm sure slipsliderg will be along with the link soon!

Here ya go...it was infamous who posted it actually.
www.mr2.ie/mr2-forum/18-ecu-and-engine-m...mk2-na--3s-ge-engine

300bhp is alot from a 3sge, highest i've ever seen was 260 from a trd but that rev'd to 11,000rpm

Only thing i can think of was wild cams and stupid ignition advance from race fuel.

Anyone know what kind of fuel they were running?
