Re: Tidy 2 on PH

Just to throw some fuel on the "import tubby" fire. Lee (Uglee) just sold his mint 2GR for £6k it was spotless and had a full custom alcantara interior. Far more BHP and bang for your buck in a 2GR conversion for the same money. So it does skew the tubby price a bit. And that was a beauti...

I'd be pretty interested in starting some kind of 'best lap times' board up for various classes. Maybe One track each month?

Righto.

What's the best way of removing the brake flexi-hose from the existing caliper so I can attach it to a new one.

[Mk2] [Generic] Rear Brake Caliper Confusion

Well a week or so ago I attempted to change my brake pads for some newer ones of what is hopefully a better compound. Fronts went on just fine, but the rears were a whole different story. The driver's side one came off fine, pads were switched over and everything was gravy. The passengers side one c...

Just my opinion though, crack on. :)

I don't know garages around your area. I believe the following is the best setup: Front Size: 195/55/15 Tyre: Yokohama Neova AD08 Pressure: 28PSI Link: http://www.camskill.co.uk/m53b0s288p59602/Yokohama_Tyres_Car_Yokohama_AD08_Advan_Neova_Yokohama_AD_08_-_195_55_R15_85V_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_F_Wet_Grip%3A...
