  Welly, yeah, suspect that is the case with the sudden failure but still not enough of a knowledge to work out which one. Will have another look at the manual methinks

  the blots that hold the head on should be on a sticker under your bonnet. it also shows you the order to tighten back up and with the amount of torque

  U

  For £3000 your looking at: Vauxhall Calibra Turbo £1500 - £2500 then MOD with extra cash Honda Prelude 2.2Vti £2000 - £3000 buy cheap and mod Toyota MR2 Rev3 Twin Turbo - £2800 - £3500 Rev3 is V fast Mazda MX3 £250 - £1800+ the best looking by far :wink: but not fast unless you do a KLZE

  U

  Check the engine numbers to see if the 1.5 is the same block as the 1.6, it might even be on the wikipedia. If it is the same just use an engine mount from a 1.6 You should then be able to get one from the 247spares website or of ebay.

  U

  You can't beat jap cars for style and bang for bucks! The MX-3 is 16 years old and still looks awsome, and look at the MR2, EVO, GTO, FTO, SUPRA etc Just a note: The MR2 Turbo kicks ass over the MX-3, and the REV3 MR2 that has the same engine as the Celica GT4 really kicks ass over the MX-3. Saying that I'd rather drive an MX-3 in the wet. :P

  You can get a Remus backbox that goes straight on, but they are about £200. They turn up on German ebay.

  U

  Have you checked your current exhaust? as you said its dying? when mine died it was actually the centre section that had rusted where it bolted to the back box, eventually the neighbours complained, about the engine starting at 6AM for work, and the back box fell off…somewhere, so i had to buy a new centre section and backbox :oops:
