Cheers matey very helpful. I tried to give rep, but apparently i cant keep giving rep to the same person!

Is there a particular order to do a bleed, i did it LR, RF, RR, LF.

MR2 GTi-16 - toxo - 26-03-2018

I think my rep might be limited anyway due to not being paid up Wink

Either that or you can only rep a person once per thread?

Anyway, unless you have ABS it doesn't have a specified order, in which case you do what you do on any hydraulic system and start with the one furthest away from the master cylinder, working your way towards it. So passenger rear first, then driver's rear, then passenger front, then driver's front. The pre '97 braking system is amazingly basic so nothing clever going on WRT bleeding.

71 points now! I will pay up one of these days I promise... owning an MR2 Turbo is a wallet rinsing way of life!

I have ABS on my car.
I cant wait until i fit a turbo lump, its far too cheap to run at the minute!!! Cheers for that Ian, have some rep yourself

Hurricane I have ABS on my car.

Bleed procedure is the same as it's pre 97.

Is that your longterm plan then, to do a turbo conversion?

MR2 GTi-16 - Fozzy - 26-03-2018

Well im happy with it for now, but im sure ill get bored of the power at some point. My aim for this year is just to enjoy it and get it looking a bit tidier. The bodywork isnt great, but it should tidy up quite well.

It really depends on whether i can afford it at the end of the day. I would love to turbo it, and if i do ill try and get a complete rear clip so its as simple a possible.

Nice one Pete, but we need pics ! :thumbup:

Ok so to start off, a couple of pics of the car. I was off work on monday with a bad shoulder, so i took the oppertunity to give the car a wash. I also gave it a go with a clay bar. Makes a hell of a difference, im impressed.

But typically as british weather goes, it started to rain a little, so i got a couple of pics of the beading...... little things......
