Very good tyres.

Mate they are brilliant road and track. I use them on my Skoda. No need to worry.

Yeah mate if possible, not in the rain though. Just 5-10 high speed stops in a short time building up the pedal pressure each time with the last one around 80% of full pressure without getting the ABS kicking in. Then leave to fully cool preferably overnight, they will have had a full heat cycle...

So a lot more talent needed making it a 10 times more exciting as death is a likely scenario! I grew up in this era with my old man owning an intergale HF, RS200 and Audi quattro so I'm probably bias

Group B all the way! No aero, no aids, no trick flappy paddles, just man and machinery in (utterly bonkers) harmony. Yeah they might not be as fast as the modern day cars but who cares with how they sounded!

Welcome along fellow Northwester. Loving the Lotus, I've just bought a MR2 2ZZ for track days. I wouldn't be spending £10k on a Clio as you'll just be tentative like you are in the Lotus. £5K max and for that you would get a belting track spec Clio. Forget FI as well IMO as it just adds to it...

Seems quite common with the 2ZZ Lotus Exige as well due to heat and expansion/stretching of the cables and linkages. Weather is cooling down a bit this week so I'll get some heatproof sleaving for the cables, exhaust wrap for the manifold and hopefully this will help.

Yep "slightly sticky going into 5th"

No mate, still the same. Car has just had a new clutch and flywheel also. When it doesn't engage if you shake the gear stick in neutral it goes in then. Also it jams up at low or high revs when hot.

So the issues have started already ? Posted this on MR2OC but no hits, and I know you lot are a knowledgeable bunch. Having real problems up shifting into 5th and down shifting into 4th with extended spirited driving. Gears are fine when the car is cold and warming up, but after 5-10 minutes...

I bet, cant wait to see this...

Nice, what does it weigh?

Yes fill it to max, replace the lid and run the car until it drops to min, rinse and repeat until it sits at max. Squeezing the coolant pipes help speed the bleeding up as well.

@Nik I've sent you a PM regarding changing my car for the full day...

You'll probably need G13 for yours but check your handbook. I use G12 in my VRS which is pink, the G13 is purple. ECP is cheapest...

Just spray them up with something like PB blaster for a couple of days and they shouldn't spin then.

Gary Burnett in Warrington is decent. https://www.cliosport.net/threads/gb-renault-specialists-warrington.809105/

Friday I think mate.

All day in the MR2, come out in the AM with me for some RWD fun.?

Yeah Gav was with us last time in 2017, should be a right laugh.

Sound mate, get your tent over by mine and @JamesBryan and I'll fire up the BBQ. You coming on your own?

You camping Friday and Saturday mate?

250 cup. Close thread.

Hopefully now attending this in something mid-engine, RWD and 200+ hp/ton :) ...that's if I can change my booking from the Skoda @Nik

Yeah Ive read there's a lot more work involved with the K20 swap and as you say unless you could do it yourself then its not worth the extra dollar for 10hp.

Yep lots of open ground for when I get it wrong, which I will no doubt.

Yeah I wont be keeping pace with him, need to learn RWD for a start. Blyton 11/5 for the first outing I think.

Seen this yeah, rapido! They say the K20 is much quicker than the 2ZZ in the MR2 W30...we'll have to see about that! :sneaky: Danny's is KPRO'd as well so probably running 220hp...

Unlucky mate, I feel your pain. Happened twice to me in 300 miles. First it snapped the belt bending valves, then straight after the re-build dropped a valve seat :cautious:

Could be to much toe out and when accelerating this exaggerates toe out even more causing the car to move around following all the ruts in the road.
