[Mk2] [Turbo] 5mm Spacers. Ok to use or not a good idea??

Hi all, I've just bought some wheels and i've found out i'll most probably going to have to run a 5 mm spacers to clear my coilovers. I mainly do trackdays with my MR2 tubby and have heard varying ideas about using spacers on the front of the car. I.e it causing damage to wheel bearings and increasi...

[Mk2] [Generic] VOLK TE37's thinking of changing them, don't know what for though???

I've some staggered white 16 inch te37 alloys and tires and i'm looking to swap them for something different. I know they are pretty much the best alloys for an MR2 but i just fancied a change and wondered what people were fitting on their cars at the moment

Any thoughts/pics welcome

[Mk2] [Turbo] Which Exhaust should i go for?? Your views wanted!

After looking on both MR2 owners clubs for a while for a nice second hand exhaust i have decided to bite the bullet and buy a new one :pale: So you thoughts, which exhaust do you recommend for a largely standard Rev 4 Turbo? My old standard exhaust is on its last legs, but i reckon it could hold on ...

Re: Apexi GT Exhausts - Are they too loud for the track?? Any help welcome!

Most db limits on tracks in the UK are 98db and 105db (if i'm not mistaken :-k )

I'm just wondering how much difference using the bung would make? And more importantly how much power would be lost from using it in the first place ](*,)

Hi all, I recently changed the oil on my rev 4 tubby and i noticed that the exhaust is blowing badly and needs replacing, without going into the "which is the best exhaust" debate (which i think is very subjective tbh), i quite like the Berk stainless model (through GTSCHRIS). I wanted to ...

T1-R tires for a track day???? comments welcome!

Hi all, Ive got a track day coming up at Donnington Park (quite a quick circuit) and the only tires i have at the moment are TOYO PROXES T1-Rs. I've heard about the soft sidewall stories and agree totally (my g.f. has them on her Corsa and the side walls are squishy even on that!) However on my MR2 ...
