I have been using Mintex pads for a few of my cars and find them pretty good.
Brake fluid is more important though to avoid brake fades !!

Re: Best MR2 Mark 2 For Me?
Red is not that bad at fading so long as you keep it waxed regularly and keep it out of the sunshine (car cover helps). Mine is slightly faded as it has been standing outside for its live but I mopped it back mostly and now waxed to death

Re: Best MR2 Mark 2 For Me?
Also I heard some time ago that the rev 1/2 were more tail happy/didn't handle as well as the later models? I'm actually slightly worried about the tail happy side of things I've heard a lot about people spinning them on roundabouts :lol: Rev 2 has bigger wheels and wider rear tyres so more underst...

I would buy on condition rather than mileage at this stage. When I bought mine at 15 year-old, it has done 150k. 10k pe...

If you want to go even further theres another road that goes from hertford east and you end up near the M11. An early early morning group drive would be cool :thumleft: Shall I arrange one then? H...
