Re: Changed to Toyo T1-R's and now my car handles like ****

R888's are very good tyres. They are the tyres of choice for the mr2 championship after all :thumleft:

Re: Timing

I assume you took off the tensioner and put everything to TDC?

Have you got a timing gun?

Re: a few niggles with the new car

With the fuel gauge thing, did you put petrol into an empty tank and see no immediate response on the gauge?

Same with ours, it just takes a while to register for some reason, I don't know if it's the same on other 2's?

Re: Help needed - car not starting!

Is there a spark coming from the coil/ignition pack?

We had one go on us at our last race :(

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Clutch pedal problem

When bleeding the clutch did you move the clutch cylinder in and out?

Sometimes people forget and it leaves the cylinder full of air..

Re: [Mk2] [NA] tapping ????

Just had this problem. The no.2 lead wasn't pushed on top of the plug properly so it was earthing to the head :oops:

Sounded exactly as you described...try taking the leads out and putting them back in firmly.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] coolant leak!!!!

Have you looked to see if water is coming out the exhaust (in large quantities), after warming the engine?

I've had the head gasket go on me twice now. The second time water was really p***ing out the exhaust =[

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Adjustable front tension rods cheapest?

They're fully adjustable, I don't know what you mean by sealed?

We just bought a pair to put on our rev3.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Adjustable front tension rods cheapest?

Haven't rev1's or 2's got adjustable tie rods as standard. Find someone who's braking them???

Unless you want some uprated one's of course.

Re: For those running rollcages

They're made to protect you...

Having a roll cage in a crash is definitely preferable than not. It also stiffens the chassis, which to a point is a good thing.

Your right though, the only downside, as I see it is the added weight. And as everyone has been saying, the insurance is a bummer!

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Pics of new look..NOW MAPPED! 545@wheels:)

I'm probably wrong but wouldn't the air going past the car cause some sort of back pressure on the exhaust gases coming out???

You want the gases to be flowing freely as possible, does look good though!

Re: WHY do bigger alloys mean worse handling?

Don't forget the tyres will also flex in the tread. So half worn tyres will generally grip better.

Also don't most tyres need a while to scrub in properly..
