Tough one to say how quick the lap is in comparison without the spec of the car...power, weight, gearbox, diff, suspension, tyres, brakes etc? Looks pretty quick, but also looks like there's room for improvement, more so on the exits.

Can you explain how a certain tyre, in this case AR1's don't like to much camber? I run AR1's with -4 and I have no problems, even temps across the tyres and no unwanted handling or wear issues.

Do a full bolt check, but sounds like you've altered the dynamic suspension settings fitting the RCK. If so, you'll need a proper set-up to get the best out of the RCK. Drop Adam at Clearmotorsport a message, he'll talk you through it and sort you out a proper set-up. He's only based in...

Looks great, guy in work has one in the same color and loves it too, it has some plug in box thing and says it absolutely rockets. I always find myself looking at the 1 series M lites to replace my F30 330d but I just don't know....yeah it would be quicker but the N57/ZF8 combo of the 330d is...

Mine made 192bhp @EFI with 197 cams, fatty induction, decat, aircon delete etc.

Fumes are common with a decat, if its not decatted maybe its a leak. I used to get headaches from mine too. Just fit some sound deadening at the rear for the noise issues. Sell the seats and order something more comfortable with more head support. These look ok...

I use this, works well. I just fitted a thin strip of rubber around the roll bar where it mounts to reduce vibration further. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CBSDS2G/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Just give your insurance a quick call and ask them if there will be a premium to fit non OE size tyres. If not, then yeah fit some 195 50 15's. Lots more choice and cheap as chips even for decent tyres.

Just pay a bit extra and get something half decent like Rainsport 5's. You never know when you'll need that extra bit of grip, especially as it rains 80% of the time in this country. The tyres you mentioned are called ditchfinders for a reason! Buy 185/55R15 Size Uniroyal RainSport 5 82H | Asda...

Not sure mate, works on my 10 year old laptop is all know.

I use hitfilm express which is great for trackday video editing. https://fxhome.com/product/hitfilm-express

Seating height position...shite! Steering wheel position....shite! Also on track a ham fisted chimp would get to the limitations of the OE spec tyres and brake pads. Apart from the above items, I agree they don't need much to be an entertaining track toy, as long as the alignment is good and...

Fuel starvation maybe? My MR2 does it with anything less than a quarter of a tank on high G corners. I also used to have a similar issue with my 182, but instead of cutting it would accelerate on sharp right hand bends, that was defo something electrical. Never got to the bottom of it.

For the money you're getting for OE cats these days, blueprint items like this are worth the risk. That just needed filing or whizzing over with a dremmel before fitting. Just ordered my mate a blueprint one for £200. EP3 OE cats are going for £900 this week, madness not swapping them...

Part 2. Knocked 3s off. 1:57 v 2:02 I lose 3s by the exit of Shell oil corner only 45s into the lap, by staying in 5th for Island bend and messing the entry into Shell dropping to 2nd. Still plenty of time in it...

Ad taken from MR2ROC, not my car: https://www.mr2roc.org/forum/index.php?topic=70842.0;topicseen FOR SALE - 2002 Rogue 2ZZ Roadster I purchased the car in May 2014 after months of looking for the right car. Bought from an owner in Lincoln I took the car back to Scotland and the project stated...

Yup, they also require a full cool down to cure properly.

I've used them on the road in a 182 and Octavia VRS, when I couldn't be arsed changing them out after a track day. Zero issues whatsoever. However being enduro spec, they will wear much quicker when used on the road as they need real heat for optimum wear rates.

These are a new tyre to the market and get good reviews. Cheap too. https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/zestino-gredge-semi-slick-tyres-2012154/

Fast doesn't always = more fun, enjoy! Oh and welcome.

Spark plug seals, that sit in the rocker cover maybe.

Must have had engine mods and remap for that time, rapid even for a race spec MK2.

Think so yeah, as the max power to weight is 297hp p/tonne for non v6 cars.

After a bit of online snooping at the 2018 MSVR Lotus Cup UK regs, I've found some of spec of this car: Exige S2 Toyota 2zz N/A - 5.8.3.2 Toyota engined cars are permitted engine modifications including, but not limited to engine internal components, exhaust system, engine ECU, air filter, and...

They are a lot of fun, parts are cheap and they're easy to work on. There's nothing close for £5k (what I paid) that I'd swap it for. Ohlins on this Exige. Its a Lotus Cup Uk championship spec car. 100kg lighter than the MR2, wider tyres, bigger brakes with lots of functional aero too.

Comparison of a Exige race car vs my MR2 track car. Both 2zz engined. Not sure if the Exige puts out more power, probably as they have aftermarket ECU's. 8 second difference, which doesn't sound like much over a 2m lap, but visually its an age. He also cocked up the last corner, so more like a...

Not used the 052's myself but they seem a great all-rounder. AR1's are fantastic in the dry, and even in damp conditions with no standing water to cool them. You’ll only be disappointed when its a cold, pissing down day as they are sketchy.

Bet the missus loves the house smelling like Kwikfit 😄 Tried to order the yokos as the exchange, but no stock. Defo gonna try them next time around. How come you use both tyres?
