Thanks for the advice!
Checked them over and one needs taking off and re-greasing etc, and found a split on the piston rubber . The other didn't look too bad, no splits and slid freely.

Checking out my brakes - what to look for
I'm taking the rear calipers off today as I'm sure the drivers rear needs replacing. What should I be looking for in terms of wear? I know the piston seals could be split.

[Mk2] [Generic] Replacement Radiator
Is there any differentce between the Turbo radiators and an N/A radiator? Or are they all the same across all revisions / models of mk2?
I have a rev1 n/a and the rad is leaking and i've been offered a new'ish one off a turbo being broken, 6000 miles use.
Thanks!

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Wiring in gauges - How to?
Yeah i was thinking of wiring up the power to them both to check they work.
I was going to mount them in the single dinn space under my sterio but they dont really fit too well so might have to find a pillar pod for them

[Mk2] [Generic] Wiring in gauges - How to?
Wondering which wires go where. I assume 2 goto the senders. I have a set of AutoGauge oil gauges. The connector that plugs into the back of them has 4 wiires coming out: red, orange, black and green. Which wires go where? Any ideas?

Ahh.... Yeah mines a uk spec too.
Are they just small holes? I assume they car be filled in easily. It doesn't have to be a great job as i'm planning on putting my web address across the back.

Has anyone removed this? I understand it has two pins that go into the boot lid. Does anyone know where these are located?
Also any tips on removing the badge without damaging the paintwork?

Re: Recommended wheel setup
Ok I wonna get on track as soon as possible so...... for mainly financial reasons..... I've aquired a set of 15" stock alloys with near new 195/55 toyo proxies on the front and dead tyres on the back. I'm thinking of selling the proxies and getting a full new set of track tyres. Fingers crossed...

blackcircles.com seem to stock R888's and have next day delivery which is handy.

Re: Recommended wheel setup
Humm... Looks like the R888's are hard to come by on 205/45/16 Cant seem to find any! I will have a look at the tyre calculator. Also i'll see if I can find some with the larger sidewall as Si has suggested. I hate peoples obsession with the R888. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/autobild-track...
