Instructions |
| This is the Ram Air system developed by Jeff at Rebel Motorsports. The pipe enables the cone filter to be fitted away from the engine, down towards the side vent of the left hand side of the car. This means the air passing through the filter is cooler and being forced in instead of just sucking, therefore giving more power. Fitting is straight forward and can be done DIY once you have the correct tools. Pics of system fitted along with comments to follow. On the Japanese import cars there is no AFM so the pipe attaching to the cone filter is longer and goes directly into the accordian type rubber piping (pics to follow). The modification stopped the banging that is present with the straight through exhaust system due to petrol making it's way through the system without burning. The power is more instant than simply with the exhaust alone. Verdict: Excellent performance and sound. |
RMS DESP (Dual Exit Straight Pipe) Exhaust System

   |
| This is the best bit of kit I've ever bought. It's the straight through exhaust designed by Jeff at Rebel Motorsports. As you can see there is no back box. This reduces weight, aswell as increasing air flow thus reducing turbo spin up times. This reduces the dreaded turbo lag in the car. The increase in acceleration is immediately noticable. The build quality is exceptional and fitting is relatively easy although I resorted to a mechanic as it wasn't an area I had ventured into before and required the removal of some bump stops that are required for the original exhaust system. For the record you need to lose the central, triangular shaped, bump stop completely. Another feature which I liked is that you get to choose you own tips. I chose 4.25" chrome with rolled edges and I think they fill the cutouts for the original exhaust perfectly. With the rolled edges they don't look too big either. But the biggest benefit to the system is the absolutely awesome noise. It is truely incredible. Your neighbours may not like you but when you open the car up the noise is just incredible, then, just when you think you've heard the best of it you back of the throttle and the car pops and burbles like a full on race car. I love it completely. You will need to advance your timing, from the standard car's 10 Degrees, to 12 Degrees but once you do this the throttle response in instantaneous and the car runs a treat. BUY ONE. I dare you not to. |
RMS Supplied ZEN Blow-Off Valve

| (Better pics to follow soon). I installed this
system today (17th Nov '98) so haven't had much driving to give a full review on it but immediate impressions are that boost stays on much better. A gear change after a full throttle run gives a high pitched hiss, much higher then the standard item if you vent that to the air but unlike the standard valve boost is still almost full by the time you change gear. I means the surge is more constant on full acceleration with out the annoying (although slight) delays for boost build-up between ratios. Initial impressions are excellent. I'll update after a week or so of driving. Absolutely simple to install. I did it myself (and I'm a coward when it comes to engine). Another great product from jeff at Rebel. |

Toyota MR2 Cupholder

   |
| This is the Toyota cupholder modification designed for the section below the stereo normally housing an open tray for bit's and pieces. It is split into two sections. The upper one is the cupholder and the lower one is a useful coin try (loaded with Toll Booth tokens as you can see). The unit is signed for right hand drive models in that when you open the cupholder, it doesn't come straight out but rather curves slightly towards the driver side right). This is only ver slight and won't effect it's use in left-hand drive models. The unit, as you would expect from Toyota, is of excellent quality. Why they didn't fit it as standard I will never know. Buy one. You'll like it. |
