Re: Pete and Ben's Rotary Racer

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Where to start?

OK. I nearly fell for one years ago before buying my first MR2. If the red line is at 6k, it's a 3SFE. 7 is the magic number IIRC :)

Re: Pete and Ben's Rotary Racer

Thanks all!

E2V - cheers for the tips. We've been doing plenty of reading up on oils, premixing etc so this is definitely something we'll start doing.

Mikey - can't make the 28th unfortunately. Shame, it's my local track! Have a good day :thumleft:

We als...
