If the light is on with the ignition and stays then its probably electrical, more than likely a speed sensor, could also be one of the speed sensor connections or worst case the ABS pump/ECU. My advise, first check your speed sensors aren't built up with brake disc/pad shards, then make sure...

Mate, who cares what others think. Especially bloody strangers on a forum. If you like the style, go for it. This place is full of older guys that take the piss, but 99% of them dont mean any harm, it's just banter. Don't take this place seriously and give as good as you get and you'll love...

Good for you mate. You do what makes you happy. I didn't even have a drivers license at 17, never mind my own car. I was a knuckle dragging mouth breather, selling rocky to the village pond life, drinking MD 20/20 on street corners and sniffing wizz out of the local slags hairy arse cracks!

Yes they soften up the outer layer of the tyre. The more you apply in multiple applications the deeper it goes. I advise applying 2-3 coats and on the last one wrap them in cling film and leave for 24-48 hours. It bloody stinks though so leave them in a shed or somewhere that you don't mind...

Maybe worth a go to soften them up a bit. I've used it and it defo works...

You've gone from dedicated soft track tyres with 60 treadware that don't need lots, if any heat to grip to a hard road/track tyre with 200+ treadware that require lots of heat to work properly. The dry/damp grip difference will be massive. I really don't understand why people run these half...

Think he's called Mersey Clio, although cant find any info on the business online.

I've had work done by him in the past and lets just say I wouldn't use his services again. I do feel sorry for the guy with the Megane though as he's surly the innocent party in all this. Ultimately he left him with a perfectly healthy car and 18 months later has to retrieve it waterlogged and...

All done when I bought it. Its unbelievably solid and clean underneath. Must have been garaged and treated all its life.

Voted. Seen this in the flesh at CSF19 and its a stunning example, good luck.

That's it mate, in the wet for the money it's a no brainer. As soon as the puddles disappear I'd throw my AR1's on and once a dry line appears go to full slicks.

I didn't mate, scrapped the car before using it. Still got the stuff in the shed actually, lol.

I'll have a look mate, nice one. I just use the Rainsports as wets though and the 3s were brilliant at that for the money.

205 45 16 here... https://camskill.co.uk/m62b7674s344p0/Car_Tyres_-_MPV_Tyres_-_People_Carrier_Tyres_-_16_inch_Uniroyal_Tyres_Car_Uniroyal_RainSport_5_-_R16_inch_-_205_45_16_205_45R16

I'll be going 195/50/15 front and 205/55/16 rear on the MR2.

Let us know in here how you get on with them fella. (y)

The race battery is w**k on mine so I was going to connect jump leads to it from the Octavias battery and do it that way? Also crank it in short bursts or a single 30s burst?

Cheers James, so unplug fuel rail and coil plugs and remove spark plugs and crank until oil pressure light goes out?

Not necessarily a re-build for mine but the cams and lifters have been changed along with all the engine ancillaries so the engine is dry of oil. So how do I go about starting it back up for the first time? The obvious issue is oil getting around the engine quick enough. I was thinking of...

I've changed the cams, rockers etc from a lower mileage head. I'll re-shim the 2 out of spec exhaust valves then.

You measure the clearance between the smaller, low/medium speed cam lobe and needle roller on the rocker on the 2zz.

Checked the valve clearances on my Toyota 2ZZ tonight and the results below. Intake range - 0.08-0.18mm Results - 0.13 - 0.13 - 0.10 - 0.10 Exhaust range - 0.22-0.32mm Results - 0.16 - 0.20 - 0.25 - 0.25 So should I re-shim the 2 out of spec exhaust valves or just leave them be?

Mmm, not so sure given they are claiming only a 3% increase is handling. Wear looks much better though and that's where I was least impressed as I got less than 5k miles out of a full rotated set on the road.

Only £40 each at Camskill for 195/50/15... https://camskill.co.uk/products.php?show=188253

Anyone tried them yet? Will be buying a set in the coming weeks for the MR2 for road and wets. According to their press release they've taken onboard the criticism of wear and handling... http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/Uniroyal-RainSport-5-Press-Release.htm

Sorry to hear this mate. Mine went in a similar scenario. Looks like a valve seat as mine was. Difference with mine being the valve seats weren't checked after one of the pulleys gave in causing bent valves.

Caught it pretty easily on the straights and under braking, just the fast sweeping corners where he made the time up. Yeah been looking at the Kaaz 2 way but as it's used to commute to and from track it maybe to aggressive? What sort of price are they out of interest? 2ZZ engine/C60 box.

Cheers mate. Current set up is 1mm out total on the front and a whopping 5mm in total on the rear. As I said very safe.

Let us know what they reccomend. Although our cars have very different chassis and power the MR principle will be the same.

Think set up would be were it could be changed the most given mine is set up very safe with soft springs and Arbs set full soft and its also toeing in lots at the rear, so set up more towards understeer. Once back together I'm going to set the toe parallel at the rear to see how it feels. What...
