Well, I started with 26psi and after a few laps in the dry came in and they'd gone up to 33 ! Dropped
back to 28 and they seemed to work well. For road tyres

Hi all,

Doing a track day at Oulton tomorrow and was wondering what tyre pressure people would suggest to start off with.

Car is a Mk1 AW11B running Yokohama A539 195/50x15 otherwise a stock motor. Forcast is for patchy rain.

Thanks
Nige

Rear fractionally wider by about half an inch.

At least mine is anyway.

Fun ain't it! My next spare £400 is going on Konis and Springs, that's for sure! Oh yeah :D Not my first track day ever though, did one in May double driving a friends Scirroco Scala. Mister Two was much, much better. As for the suspension, have you checked out the USA suppliers on Ebay and the lik...

Fair comments Lauren.

Having read Weirdnevilles excellent write up of his track day I've a lot to learn yet
Damn, more expense and waste of fuel.........bring it on

Did my first track day in the Mk1b yesterday at Aintree. Darn good fun it was too. Very pleased with the A539's especially last session when it rained. still offered great grip. Only gripe was more power needed ! Very long straight on that circuit and a few more BHP would have been nice. Anyone turb...

Over 24hrs now and still nowt

Hmm, sorry but I'm with your mate and neither of your poll options cover that.

how did you pay? how much? where to? Paypal £7.50, followed the link that opened when I tried to enter the premium link on the index page. Got a reciept saying payment sent to IMOC, says this........

I gather then that US spec shocks are the same as UK ones then ?

I spotted some on Ebay from there, huge savings over UK prices even with duty.

Well I paid up at teatime and still can't get in

How long does it normally take after one has paid for Premium to activate ?

Wirral, oop north-ish.

Just about to take the box out to do the clutch and am considering replacing
the synchro rings on second as it crunches on quick changes. All other gears
are purrfect.
Is it an easy enough job or needing so many special tools as to live with
changing gear with a bit of mechanical sympathy ?

Following mucho head scratching with respect to tyres I've come to the conclusion there isn't a tyre that will be the dogs for both road and track days, there will always be a compromise. So, the obvious answer is a set for each. I've a set of 6x15"alloys in the garage from my old Astra Sport w...

An engine complete with box in Ellesmere Port went on fleabay recently for £100. So they are
out there cheap enough. Should be able to get it fitted for less than £300, it's only a days work.

Shame to sell it as it is as you'll get rag all for it

What's gone pop anyway ? Is it fixable ?

I tried that. Any search tyre related, "best" or otherwise returns a couple of hundred
pages to scroll through

Hi, my '89 MK1 needs a couple of front tyres. It came to me fitted with 195/45 15 on TSW alloys IIRC it would have had originaly had 185/60 14. As this equates to 195/50 15 do I replace all four in 50 profile or stick with the marginally smaller 45's ? There are pro's and cons for both profiles and ...

Now I have your attention :lol: Apart from the fact it's loose, I just don't like the shape of the gearknob, the protruding front shape annoys me. I drove a Mk1 a short while ago that had a slightly tapered but predominately cylindrical one that was much nicer. There's a similar shaped carbon one re...
