Looks like you will have to go with plasitc rings as there's no aftermarket metal ones out there in these sizes. You could try contacting OZ directly as I know my OZ's on the MR2 came with factory fit alloy rings as they are OZ stamped.

I've got MRF 15" slicks and they're great.

The above alignment shouldn't cause issues under braking. Seems like a brake bias unbalance. Have them put it on their rolling road used for brakes if they have one.

@dann2707 have a look at this guy on eBay. does loads of decent new and used 15" track tyres fairly cheap. Ive used him loads and he's spot on. Always accepts best offer as well, normally between 20-30% off the advertised price...

@White16valver for wet weather driving they are fantastic, couldn't ask anymore from them. However for dry weather on my track focused MR2 they just dont cut it. To soft. Dry handling is fine it's just the lack of feed back that isnt fine. On a different car that's more road focused I'd say they...

That's what I reckon I could do it on my own on axel stands taking my time around 11-12 hours, a garage should be able to do it much, much quicker. I personally wouldn't pay more than £700. Most of the things above could also be done yourself to save money, plenty of how to's online for the MK5.

Then surly the auto makes more sense. For me, if using a manual box I like to engage with it. That why I have a ZF8 for a daily and short ratio 6MT for fun.

I get it has a wide power band but 100+ in 3rd and 130+ in 4th just seems far to long for a hot/hyper hatch. For me a fast hatch should have a slick, short ratio box that you can bang up and down the gears making use of heel and toe, longer gears just takes all the fun out of it for me. Looks...

I love the ZF8 in my 330d. I'd expect it to be even better in the free revving M-lite. The MT just seems like its geared far to long for the engine.

Check the aux belt and pulleys ASAP. My alternator pulley came lose, snapped the aux belt and took the cam belt with it. Needed a head rebuild to fix.

Just remove it trackside, its only 4 bolts and a electronic clip. EML should go out again once refitted. As well as removing a bit of weight you also have a seat to sit on outside when off track, win-win.

Got Ferodo DS2500 and DS1.11 front pads if interested. Also still got WALK, RARB & Bilstien B12 kit.

Cheap little car for someone this...info taken from MR2ROC https://www.mr2roc.org/forum/index.php?topic=69349.0;topicseen It is with regret but unfortunately she has to go. My Blue 2 has been sitting in the garage not getting out and being enjoyed due to my various operations etc so I would...

Looks good mate. Currently getting a real world 50mpg on my 50 mile daily commute Liverpool - Manchester and back, 550 miles from my last tank. Unbelievable return for the performance they have.

Just use this to find your nearest Hunter aligment system. You can only adjust front toe as standard anyway. 0.06 degrees toeing out each side will be about right. https://www.alignmycar.co.uk/

What is it you need setting up, geometry?

30 day warranty with this. £650 delivered. Few hundred quid fitting if you can't do it yourself. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164114909917

Could you not just get a low mileage box from a breaker?

What's the webuyanycar trade price?

Not the same car but similar weights, I've got Miester R coilovers on my MR2 (which are very similar to the BC's) with 5kg front and 7kg rear and they are lovely and compliant on the road. Maybe sell what you have now and get a new set of BC's with similar spring rates.

Sachs suspension from the Trophy sounds like it would be your best bet. I ruined my 182 cup for the road fitting AST 4100 with 9kg front/11kg rear springs. Hated the thing until I got it on track. I also has Corbeau Clubsports and the flex in the seat base was shocking.

We're hopefully still on for Anglesey 12th July with circuit days, jump on it. https://circuit-days.co.uk/anglesey-view-event-170

Seem to get decent reviews on tyrereviews.co.uk https://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Tigar/High-Performance.htm

Where did you copy this statement from mate? Cant find it on Blytons site.

DS1.11 all the way! Used them on my Clio and Octavia on the road no problem. When they start squealing they just need a good heat cycle. Another option is EBC bluestuff. Good cold bite, no squeal and last ages. Oh and they're cheap.

If its the mechatronics unit then the cost of the fix is nowhere near as eye watering as it used to be, plus the unit can be changed with the engine and box in situ.

Full weekend ticket and full day track session booked for myself in the MR2 and @Mike271284 in his ep3 :)

SOLD!
