God knows. The Eagle 3 RF's before them lasted the same, but these wore bald on the insides, the rest of the tyre had about 5mm on them. TBH I've never got great mileage out of any tyre on any car, obviously my driving style isn't tyre friendly.

The 330d has burnt through another set of rears so looking for replacements. Could go with the Falken FK510 again as they are a fantastic all-round tyre, but prices have gone through the roof lately, plus with just 10k miles out of them I'm inclined to try something different. I've had the PS4...

Just drive to the conditions and you'll be fine, it'll teach you car control to take into your next dry day. As mentioned take the wet line, as there's far more grip available. If not sure of the wet line YouTube a few videos on 'Bedford wet race'.

Gonna clean, then talc the whole area to pin point the leak, to make 100% sure where its coming from before doing anything.

Noticed a very slight weep from the head gasket on my MR2 when coming off track. Originally thought it could of been the rocker cover, or maybe the oil control valve housing, as this sits right above, but its not. Its defo from the gasket circled below. Engine is now 22 years old, and has...

Fair enough, set-up is always a personal preference. I highlighted the front toe being parallel, as from the factory the 1*2 came with a smidge of toe out.

2mm shim on the OSR and it will be sound. Did you ask for parallel front toe? It will feel very slow to turn in now, especially given the before figures. I'd say you want something in-between really, 1-2mm toe out each side works well on a 1*2 track car, especially for a track like Anglesey GP...

Pretty cool thing to come up with in your retirement. Toyota based track day car almost ready for IVA | eBay

Used Cybox in Liverpool for a 3" custom with twin pipes, 2 silencers, and built in decat on my old Mazda 6 MPS. Cost £350. @Danith recently had one done there too.

Rears look fine, the inner wear on the fronts looks toe out related or under inflated tyres, or a mixture of both. Not enough camber to cause that much wear really.

Rainsport 5 are decent in that size as they come in XL. I have this size on the rear of my MR2 for road and wet track days and they really do impress. My fronts are 195/50/15 and they have a much softer sidewall than the 205/45/16 XL rear. Dry handling good, wet handing close to an entry level...

Very good seats for the money, I'd say they take up to a 38" waist comfortably. @Danith has a pair of futura's in his ep3

Seems cheap this given the rarity of the avant these days. Also looks clean. Cheapest, and only S4 avant on AT is £10k. Looks like he'll take less than £7k too. Located in Kings Langley. @leeds_182 B7 S4 Avant for sale £7k (mr2roc.org) Hi all, My S4 is up for sale. Phantom black Red recaro...

Yeah very similar PTW, but the lighter car will always win out on track. I'd have to strip the Z4 and remap, along with diff, suspension, tyres brakes etc to be quicker than the MR2. Looking at £10k+ for all that. Just not worth it. Might as well buy a Caterfield or something.

Always fancied a 3.0si coupe as a track car.

Yeah the sables fetch good money. What Z4 you gone for? 3.0L I hope 😁

She's probably had that much interest, she's figured she can get much more for it. The MK3 seems to be appreciating in value by the day, and is becoming much more popular on the track scene. Looking on AT at a half decent example, they start around £2.5k and go up to £10k. What you'll find with...

Do it! They're so much fun, even 1zz cars. Prime for turbo set-up too given the engine rebuild with modified pistons.

Think it was an option on JDM models.

Link in the OP mate. Its been on the forum for years so well documented history, and rebuilt in 2018 so all the 1zz piston ring issues wouldn't be a worry. I'm half tempted myself.

This just come up on the MR20C, JDM MR-S. Looks a clean example. Some cheap reliable summer fun right here, that you wouldn't lose a penny on. Blue MR-S (mr2roc.org) Well after barely a month's ownership I've decided to sell. There is nothing wrong with the car whatsoever except for me I...

Please tell me this isn't going to be another epic CS build that never hits the track in anger 🙏

...

Could you not just fit a DB killer in the current silencer?

Whats a reasonable lap time around Anglesey GP?

Only just seen this build, awesome!

Got them crazy cheap from a guy I know at Carbotech.

Anyone used these on track? Seem a step up from their street pad option. Need a new set of rears, but cant afford another set of Carbotech rears at the minute so looking for a cheaper short term option, plus I've got £50 credit with Tegiwa so they'll only cost me £28. I could go with EBC...

Wow, what a spec!!! Defo a sub 50s lap in that then. Keep it going (y)

Needed a bit more bite on the front as I can't get the XP8's to lock up running slicks, and these were recommended. Anyone used them?
