Re: Brands hatch this sunday (1st of Feb)
Do they ever run the full GP circuit for trackdays? I only ever see Indy on MSV. They do and it ought to be brilliant but you will have to pay for the honour (think £300+). Ouch, I'd rather do open pitlane at Bedford for £150, 2 4 hours sessions and maaasssiiiive run off :lol: for real?! :eye: bedf...

Re: Anyone fancy helping do autocross event?
Autograss is rough, I used to race a Mini down South and it was a car killer, although fantastic fun :lol: Yup! the grass one we did was ACE fun in the MK1, but a real killer on the stiff track suspension we had on :roll: I bounced so hard once, that my ar$e came right off the seat - big air! :shock:

Re: Brands hatch this sunday (1st of Feb)
My 1 critisism was the number of cars that were allowed out on track at once. It seemed I was constantly stuck behind another car or once past was having to move out of the way of the fast cars. Maybe a longer track would have kept the distances a bit better :-k But was still a thoroughly enjoyable...

Re: MR2 fluid changes
You can do brakle fluid on 500ml if your very very carefull 1L is plenty. Yup - I filled my brake system from empty with a 1L bottle that still had some left over (can't remember how much though). LOL - Garrick likes getting carried away with flushing, but i'm sure we have done it with 1 litre befo...

Where do you buy your pads from, as I can only see greenstuff for sale ?
straight from EBC or brakes international.
I will ask Garrick to look up the codes, as he places the orders for our cars

Re: Anyone fancy helping do autocross event?
Just remembered that Rugby Motor Club puts on various autocross/autotest/autosolo/grass auto testing type events quite regularly. The go for full championships in some cases, but anyone can enter and it's great fun. Try Nuneaton Motor club on face book - they were trying to get some autosolo stuff ...

Re: Anyone fancy helping do autocross event?
Have you been to any autocross events with your MK2?
I guess the reason why there hasn't been an mr2 autocross is due to numbers to make it cost effective.
Are you looking at organising a single event for mr2s?
