    Toyo T1R- tyres for track?

    Got a set of TOYO T1Rs for daily road use primarily, (Cheap) then if it gets too wet on track when I'm using the Yoko AD08r's on the track (Which don't wear well, but are really grippy) I would then put them on . Ive used the T1Rs for about 3 months and they seem OK in the dry, (Wouldnt want to...

    tried it- my engine seems to have a love affair with V-Power. Noticeable difference even over 99 ron Tesco

    just started lumpy idle- not severe

    Put a tank of V-Power in, and issues seem to have settled Revs settle at about 600 tbh, and start around 750rpm- so my original 500 was a little low, unless it was the fuel making the revs drop? Got a fuel filter on the way just in case- where is fule filter located?

    just started lumpy idle- not severe

    LOL. Its fine. I messed around with the ICV on installation, that may be it. But its best not to get fussed bout these things i find (Been like it for 6 months) . But thanks for the help all the same Even the lumpiness at idle seems to have withered away Must save on fuel, surely :smile:

    just started lumpy idle- not severe

    500rpm is quite low, but it seems to work. May creepup to 600 when warm. Dropped a bit when i put the new ICV in

    Careful how you jack your Clios!

    Had this debate on several car forums, and u r right. If the jacking point is a mess where do you go? I use the metal bar that looks like a piece of 2 x 2 inch wood, but is steel. The chassis beam. You wont be able to use oem jack, and a low entry trolley jack is needed to jack up at that...

    Careful how you jack your Clios!

    No intention to lecture, but Axle stands every time for me even if i go under for 5 seconds. Someone killed themselves when there car dropped on top of them earlier this year down this way. was on all the local news etc/

    Careful how you jack your Clios!

    Yep. Couple my jacking points are mush Low entrance trolley jack just to the side of the mushed up bit does me, just for lifting If working on the car, as said, axle stands on the chassis
