    First test of Yokohama's A052

    I've been dying to get my hands on a set of these given all the rave reviews, and claims of the 'fastest road legal semi slick on the market'. First impression when the tyres were delivered is they have very soft sidewalls for a semi slick, not much firmer than the Rainsport 5 XL's they...

    Pilot Sport 4S review (BMW 19" fitment)

    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...

    External head gasket oil weep, fix solutions?

    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...

    Stoptech sport pads?

    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...

    Anyone used Carbotech RP2 pads?

    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?

    Exige S2 2zz race car vs MR2 2zz track car

    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...

    Best all-round semi-slicks?

    With my AR1's now shot, i'm in need of some more semi-slicks. I currently have the overkill of 3 sets of wheels and have to rely on others to carry an extra set to track. One set for wets and road with Rainsport 5's, which are only good for very wet conditions, for road they really lack and...

    Clutch bedding-in?

    What's the deal here? Never fitted a new clutch. I'm reading info a clutch should be bedded in gently over 300-500 city miles, surely not. The kit is only LUK OE and my car has as much torque as a lawn mower.

    Clutch change issue

    Just changed the clutch on my MR2 and after bolting it all back together, with just the hubs attached on stands, I can change gear without the clutch. The hubs are spinning quite fast in neutral so thinking that its spinning fast enough to match gears without the clutch? In gear it definitely...

    Anyone used a competition clutch kit?

    Need to replace the clutch kit on my MR2 2ZZ over winter and the OE kit from these comes in at a good price compared to other brands like LUK, Exedy, Sachs, Valeo etc, to which all prices have shot up this week for some reason. The CC kit also comes with a clutch alignment tool, see below. I...

    XHP Flashtool F30 330D

    OK, so i'm a year into ownership and my renewal has come in £200 cheaper than last year so its time for some fettling. Anyone ran this software for the F30 330D or even something using the ZF8 box? If so what are your thoughts, is it worth the £267? Should I go for a remap instead?

    Track car insurance annual v daily?

    The insurance has just ran out on the MR2 and has got me thinking. Why am I paying £500 a year for insuring a car that hardly gets used. So got me thinking about day insurance instead. Just done a quote online and its only £20 a day. I very rarely go out on the road as its pointless as you cant...

    Anyone used Dunlop cr311 tarmac rally tyres on track?

    I've recently bought 4 used medium hankook full slicks in 200/580/15 but one of them isnt usable so only have 3. These dont come up often used so doubt I'll get a single or even a pair withoutbuying new. I also would prefer a wider rear tyre. So a pair of new medium Dunlop CR311 tarmac rally...

    Windscreen removal?

    Someone wants my windscreen from the Octavia I'm breaking but not a clue how to remove it. There's no rubber seals on the outside. How the hell do you remove them? For the sake of £30 I've offered it at I just dont think it's worth the hassle?

    Timing and reduced power?

    Ok, so not Clio related but you lot are much more knowledgeable than most. So after the recent Toyota 2ZZ-GE engine swap into my MR2 Roadster with the new (old) 2001 150k mile engine the crossover to lift (VTEC if you will) and 6200rpm onwards is definitely not as strong as it was on the old...
