Re: 235mph!!! Do i have the fastest Tubby? EDIT - NEW RECORD?

Mine displays MPH. I didn't know you could switch it back to KPH http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/AndyJones/Doh.gif it's reading is 2-3MPH slower than the speedo needle. The reason i'm puzzled is because i didn't go anywhere near the equivalent in MPH so i haven't a clue where 235 came from :?

Re: 235mph!!! Do i have the fastest Tubby? EDIT - NEW RECORD?

that display looks like km/h = 145 so its likely accurate The screen says kph but it does "usually" display mph. I asked RC when it was originally fitted why it reads the same as my speedo if the avc-r is supposed to display kph and they said they recalibrate them to show mph. So i don't ...

235mph!!! Do i have the fastest Tubby? EDIT - NEW RECORD?

Or perhaps it's just an AVC-R that has told a HUGE porky :shock:

Re: SPL Departure 2 swap for Blitz Nur Spec?

Yay! Departure 2 back in front :P For looks has to be the Departure 2, Personally i prefer the twin exit design and regarding the rusting middle pipes i recently relocated the fog lamp to help (try and) hide this :) Although i've now been informed it an MOT fail as it's 18cm off the ground :cry: For...

Re: Andy Jones Spark Plug Colours & Comp Ratio

Andy, don't stress about white plugs - on modern engines where the ECU tunes the fuel delivery white plugs are normal. Certainly mine are grey/white and they're fine. Thanks Ben, Will go and have a chat with the guys at RC in the new year regarding the timing to clear things up (I remember them say...

Is gtschris about or does anyone know if the colder type plugs he sells are either the BKR7EP or BCR8ES you both mention?

Re: Andy Jones Spark Plug Colours & Comp Ratio

Hi Graeme, The plugs have been in 18 months as the previous owner changed these on it's last service before i bought her. The car was in for a service a month before the recent re-map and they said the plugs were fine so i'm presuming they've deteriorated due to the recent re-map? IIRC RC asked what...

Re: Correct Closest Tyre Size

If you wanna keep the rolling radius the same as the o/e tyres when stepping up to 17" then a 205/40 front, 215/40 rear is the closest possible match. As you've probably seen, 225/40 is not available. The majority of people seem to avoid running 215/40's on the rear cause they aren't as wide as...

Re: Shot of my MR2

Tother side of motorway from BA then.

Thats better, Real colour visable now. Pressures i run are 30 front 34 rear.

Thinking of getting some light weight rims for mine next year (Got my eyes on some Enkei RP02-J's in white) A lot lighter than what i'm running on now but not as light as the Volk's.
