Re: Nurburgring - 1st trip, advice needed
I am off in May for the 24hr race
What sort of speeds can you get away with doing to the ring? Do you go on any unrestricted autobahn?

Re: Nurburgring - 1st trip, advice needed
A friend of my dads went a few years ago in his delimited m5 and got off the ferry late night and sat at more or less 150-160 all the way to the ring.
I think normal driving time is 5 hours. Corrct me if I am wrong. I am off there in may to watch the 24hr race but won't be able to go on the track

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] sparks out of exhaust & bad proformance
Exhaust wadding come loose and getting way too hot causing the sparks. Blocking the pipes and causing a lack of flow which would explain the performance issue. Had it happen to me before.

Re: 3 Piece Split Rim Refurb Options?
Hey Jeff, hope your well. They are powdercoating the centers, big nuts and the nut covers for £30 a corner. The polished lips are being done by myself. This could be a service that I will be offering in the near future. To de-kurb, sand back and polish to a shine the outer lips. The only problem I s...

Re: 3 Piece Split Rim Refurb Options?
Your at the same point as me.
The centres are at the powder coaters.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] New exhaust, which one? and where to buy?
You can probably get rid of the cat even for MOT's. I know you can on the turbo. Up to 1995.
As for exhaust, blueflame on an N/A sound good.
Do a search, you will find loads.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Tyres: Hankook RS2's?
I will be getting these when I need to change tyres which won't be long. Heard nothing but good reviews on them. Not many MR2 owners have them yet.

Re: 3 Piece Split Rim Refurb Options?
I am in the same boat as you. I have taken 1 of 4 apart and will be doing the others tonight. I will be polishing the outer lip myself and giving it a few good coats of laquer. The centres will be going to BJV wheel refurbers to be blasted and powder coated. The rear part of the wheel is just going ...

Re: Can someone clarify if this is an N/A or turbo exhaust
I believe it's turbo. However the pipe going to the sat appears to be too far to the left. Thought that this ran more central?
Is that it or is there something else?

Re: Need some tyres...opinions wanted
Toyo's are shocking. So glad mine are almost ready for changing!
I am going to be tyring the Hankook RS2 (think thats right). Have read nothing but good things on those. They are on Camskill as a track tyre.

Re: getn my v6 this sat - need driving advice!
Guys, you make the MR2 sound like an animal. Like the least little bit of damp will cause it to slide. Don't scare the guy! They are not bad at all! I really think that some of you should not own them if you are scared of them and get freaked out when the back steps out! Just learn to drive. As for ...

Steve, is this so you will be quicker than me at the next activity day at North Weald? haha.
Forged pistons would be a good move to make it nice and reliable.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Suspension options
I have just replaced my rev3 std suspension with rebuildable struts fitted with TRD inserts and springs. It's roughly 25mm lower and feels lovely. Really nice ride. Handling is improved too. If you can get these I would buy some.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] what next
Go for a charge cooler, electric boost controller. Uprate pads to yellow stuff but keep std discs, dont waste money on fancy ones. Make sure your tyres are good too. You should be around 290-300 bhp on the above mods and stop well too. If you want more then you need an after market ecu. After that i...
