    Scrubbing in ad08r?

    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...

    ## WARNING ## @ BLOKE

    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...

    Undersealing recomendations?

    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.

    Undersealing recomendations?

    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.

    Starting an engine for first time after a re-build?

    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?

    Starting an engine for first time after a re-build?

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

    Starting an engine for first time after a re-build?

    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...

    Valve clearances slightly tight on exhaust valves?

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

    Valve clearances slightly tight on exhaust valves?

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

    Valve clearances slightly tight on exhaust valves?

    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.
