Re: Checking out my brakes - what to look for

Thanks for the advice!

Checked them over and one needs taking off and re-greasing etc, and found a split on the piston rubber #-o . 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. What else should I be looking for? Also any thing else to look out for while i've got my head in there? Thanks for your help! :t...

[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! :thumleft:

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 :-k

[Mk2] [Generic] Toyota badge - Rear

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...

Recommended places to buy Track Tyres

Ok after my thred asking about the best wheels for trackday use I thought i'd start anither on places to buy track day tyres from.


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

Camskill.co.uk also stock a wide range of tyres and sizes.

Anymore for anymore?

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...
