Iono, i thought the T1-R is more allseason than the R1R.

Mind you i'm tempted to get Porsche N rated potenza S02's in 245/45/R16 on the rear. Should fit my 8.5 wheels!

Oh man the R1R's look cool as hell, but they dont come in 225/50/15 for the standard sizes. Oh well at least they do em in the correct sizes for my 16's.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Crap (NEVER MIND ITS FIXED WOO YAY IT WAS ONE FUSE)

At work so can't check, but pretty sure there aren't any in the "passenger" side. There should be some on the driver's side hidden behind a plastic square cap above the front bonnet release lever, you really have to get under there to look. Other fuse boxes are in the engine bay and the f...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Another - which turbo?

What about a GT28RS? Thats meant to be the daddy isnt it? Its (edit) £780 isnt it, and I was under the impression that it is not a direct swap? Thanks for the reply. Yeah the GT28RS wont fit onto the stock turbo mani, I guess you'd need an adaptor plate. Also different fittings for oil lines and su...

Whoa, a green rev 3 with exactly the same wheels as mine. You have my twin car! The white van driver is liable unless it was a roundabout with traffic lights and you were supposed to stop at them.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Track Tyres?

Where can you get The Falken RT615's from in the uk, as the falken eu site doesn't even mention em anywhere.

The americans seem to love em as they are pretty cheap for what they do imo. I'd love a set.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] christmas came early

I've always been tempted by all the Endless/Project Mu stuff on envy's website.

What kind of pads are they anyway, superhardcore ones or ones you can use on the road?
