Thanks for the replies so far,I didn't realise how much was involved with tyres! but all interesting stuff.
Checked my tyres and the say made in Germany on the side, so not Chinese fakes which I guess is a good thing.

The only thing I could think of was maybe where the car had been stood and with the heat they had gone out of shape. I don't use the car a huge ammount,but it always goes out at least once a week. I'm not sure if its possible for this to happen as it's not like the car was stood for years with flat ...

Thanks for the replies guys,looks like it will be 195's all round then!! This is my second set of eagle f1's and I do really like them and they are awesome in the wet. The problem I had is the car developed a wobble at about 70mph, so I took the car in to have the wheels balanced and still no better...

Currently running mk 3 rims on my mk 1 and I have goodyear eagle f1's 185/55/15 tyres on them. Have had trouble with the Goodyears so going to try a change of brands. Next week Costco are doing 20% off their tyres when buying 4. The only thing is Costco only sell Michelin tyres and they are the pilo...

The company who fitted and did the balancing are a superb firm,they fit all the tyres to the local police force cars and their fitters know their stuff. I was chatting to the guy as he was doing the tyres and he actually showed me what the problem was and did pre warn me that they might not balance ...

Well it dosen't get a huge amount of use,but it's used at least once a week, maybe only 20 miles or so.
Prior to that the longest has been a fortnight when I went on hols, so no long term standing.

I have mk3 alloys on my mr2 mk1, and about 18 months ago I had brand new eagle f1's fitted all round, 195/50/15. I have only done about 8000 miles since having them fitted and looking at the tread they only look just over half worn. All of a sudden recently the car developed serious vibration throug...

My 88 mk1 is kicking out 139 bhp, bought off someone who had already done the work so saved me a fortune! To get that extra power a fair bit of work has been done, the main ones being:- Stainless steel sports exahust Induction kit Uprated fast road cams piggy back ECU with full re-map high pressure ...

Bought a set of bosch ones for the mk1 from Halfords about a month ago. Also they do a converter kit to convert from the two screws to the hook system and with all this rain we have had mine have held up just fine!!

Iv got the Dastek unichip fitted to my mk1 b as well with a full re-map, also had a set of hks 256 cams fitted, induction kit and magnex stainless steel exhaust. Took it to a rolling road about a month ago it it was producing 139bhp at the flywheel so not bad, but a lot of money spent for a 18bhp ga...

It's back home!! Had a phone call of the police saying they had recovered my car! couldn't believe it, picked her up last week. Luckily still in great condition only door lock,ignition barrel and plastic trim damage. Nearly got it all fixed, only trouble now is I have 2 mk1's as I wasn't expecting t...

Does anyone know a Stuart King??
I recently bought the car, but it used to be owned by a Stuart King who was the previous owner to the gent I bought the car off.He was a member of this website and he was the guy who did all the work on the car. Just wondered if he was still in the mr2 community.

Yeah it is a fair bit to loose through the transmission, but I guess there are a fair few factors that can effect it. could have gained a few more more horses at the wheels apparently by doing another few runs and getting the gear box oil really hot and thin, but my ears had had enough!

The cost would probably be a bit more than that, the chip is about 400 to 500 then the mapping of the chip about 400. Then you have the cams about 400 then they need to be set up to!!
I guess you could get it a bit cheaper especially if you didn't buy brand new.

No its a na, haven't had it long, but it has had a set of hks 256 cams, dastek unichip and a high pressure fuel regulator plus the usual induction and exhaust mods.

Took the car to circuit motors today at castle combe to see how she is running.
140 bhp at the flyweel and 107 at the wheels so well chuffed!
Great little garage and really knowledgeable chap to.

paid a tenner from halfords on sunday for my ngk's.
Toyota wanted £15 for a set of 4 (not sure what make) but were out of stock so went to Halfords as I didn't want to wait for them to order them in.

Just a quick one, been to halfords to get a new oil filter so I can do a service over the weekend, but they have two oil filters listed for the mk1 a small and a large one, which one should I get? They both cover the same years so it dosen't seem like one is for the older blue top and one for the ne...

Recently had my mr2 stolen, but I'm defiantly getting another one as soon as my insurance pays out! The first thing I'm going to hopefully fit is a quick release steering wheel, has any one had any experience with these? Will they fit the mk1 and what would happen about the horn as its in the center...

I would love an SC, but how much extra is it on the insurance?? I did look a while ago and couldn't even get a quote as its an import!
