Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Stock brakes to upgraded brakes
You say them brembos are larger discs, can they still be used with the original calipers? im not looking to go for a huge brake upgrade, just upgrading my discs and pads and brake lines

Re: Got first trackday tomorrow and im bricking it
totally different mate, but such an awesome feeling. ive said it before, but i was so impressed with the handling and grip of the mr2, something i would never be able to find out for sure on the road.
Soon to be booking cadwell park on the 3rd September
Anyone been to this track?

[Mk2] [Turbo] Stock brakes to upgraded brakes
After my trackday last week i have now compeltely burnt out the standard pads and discs that were on the car, an excuse to get uprated ones. Im on a tight budget and found these on ebay which im willing to purchase for the time being. The discs will be used all the time, the pads that come with the ...

Re: Got first trackday tomorrow and im bricking it
ok my mistake, just got my ruler out and measured what i thought was a 100mm ( i put my finger and thumb up at how high i thought they were and guessed that it was 100mm, my guestimations are rubbish ) its actually about 50mm. sorry for that
but you say you can raise and lower your car?

Re: Got first trackday tomorrow and im bricking it
Well at snetterton it wasnt too bad, beacause the grass run off was the same level as the track, apart from where i spun above where there was a slight drop and i scratched the bottom of my front splitter. the rumbles aren't too bad at all, but this varies with each track, they pretude a little bit,...

Re: Got first trackday tomorrow and im bricking it
yeh i have seen these advertised and spoke to colin about it yesterday. very tempting as its so close, but ive also heard things that it will ruin your tyres in a day.
What is the track like then? must be a totally different experience to driving on a proper MSV track?

Re: Got first trackday tomorrow and im bricking it
its an idea indeed. to put it in perspective, i paid £30 for a CD of just over 40 action shots. But if you have decent camera gear, then you should have a decent enough zoom to take quality photos from spectator areas. However on the trackday at snetterton, there arent many people about so you could...

Re: Got first trackday tomorrow and im bricking it
yeh, it really drinks when on track, think about it, your driving your car on its limit, constantly for 10-15 minutes a time. when your on the road, the car isnt being driven half as hard, and even the little blip down the straight is nothing in comparison. You can take photos around the track, as i...

Re: Got first trackday tomorrow and im bricking it
Good going, sounds like you've had a great day and really learned a lot too! 1.31/1.32 is that in a mk2 n/a or turbo model? In the MR2 race series with stock n/a engines the quickest guys are lapping in 1.24/1.25 :cyclops: I am running a standard Rev 2 turbo, there pretty good times, but obviously ...

Re: Got first trackday tomorrow and im bricking it
i was running on a set of standard Rev3 wheels, that i got cheap from a guy off mr2oc, and they had falken xies on the front a yoko A0-22 on the offside rear and a nankang on the nearside rear. not the best tyres to be running on the track as they were miss matched, but for my first trackday i figur...

Re: Got first trackday tomorrow and im bricking it
