what a difference the linkage had done around 20k with the 1.2 engine in and kept it when i went to the 2.0, when box seized i put a new box in with only 3k miles on, today i changed the linkage and it feels like the new box it should have always been its so nice and tight its great im changing...
trying to sort this problem out, when i accelerate full throttle at certain revs i get a grinding/juddering noise the higher the gear the less frequent it does it, i've checked the engine mounts and the engine is nice and tight and the manifold is knowere near the subframe, so i know thats not...
im after getting a set of toyo r888's now and wondered whats the max width i can run on my 1.2 pro races? i was thinking 205's but what would 215's be like?
also if someone can point out to me the best place to get them as cheapest i can find is £320 for 4 and some people go on about them...
