Re: New Tyres, Very unstable at speed?
Yes the tyres are 7J all round which I know is not the best way to have things. I changed the tyres as the car is going up for sale soon and I do not feel comfortable selling it as it feels unsafe. It did have spigot rings on when it went in, I will check they are still there tomorrow! I think I wil...

Re: New Tyres, Very unstable at speed?
Yes its a rev 1, however it has 17" 7J wheels on, put the same size tyres on that came off, and tbh the old cheap ones felt a lot more secure, no real problem cornering, its just at higher speeds on a dual carriageway/motorway. Ill let the pressure down to about 33psi, see if that helps. Thanks...

New Tyres, Very unstable at speed?
Hi Guys I had some new Uniroyal rainsport 2's put on the back of my MR2 last week and since then when travelling over 60mph the car feels very unstable.

Another Tyre Thread....
Sorry for another tyre thread guys! 

I had a rather hairy moment earlier so I think its time to upgrade the cheap crap on mine.
Unfortunately the wheel sizes arnt ideal at at 17" and 7J not sure on the offsets.

So could someone recommend me a tyre size and model!

Cheers

Re: BOV Fitting help
Right, having a few issues, the bov seems to be too heavy for the bolt so its not making a tight seal at the top? Is the orange O ring meant to be tucked inside the pipe? From the pic below can you tell me which pipe from the inlet manifold needs to attach to the BOV? as there were 2 previously. Man...

BOV Fitting help
Hi I bought a blitz bov off a member on here, looking at fitting it tonight, but I was wondering what to do with the pipe that goes from the recirc valve back to before the turbo? Do you just block it off? I know rev1/2 turbos can have issues with BOV due to AFM etc, but some people dont notice any ...
