the gsd3s arrived this afternoon from mytyres, fitted this afternoon -a word to tyre fitters, i know i dont usually touch rubber (im a diesel mechanc) but these goodyears a right arse to fit, and went with a hell of a bang too! just gotta take em out for a good test thrash now:devilish:

yep, i beleive this car did have oil pressure/flow probs, the crank was starved of oil at times (due to its horizontally opposed layout and a weak oil pump) which caused the big end bearings to start knocking usually at about 60k. i have also put 3 engines in pulsar gtirs due to oil pumps...

i had conti sportcontacts on my mr2 turbo, it ripped em to shreds after bout 6k. the n/s/r actually de-laminated when i enthusiastically exited a roundabout! (a chunk of tread about the size of a 50p piece came off, rapidly followed by the rest a mile or so later). was not impressed!

just ordered 4 gsd3s gonna give em a good test when they arrive;)
